Women’s Ministry Fall Kick Off

Sunday, September 8, 6:30–8:00pm

Join us for coffee and a sweet treat as we open this new year of ministry in prayer and worship. We would love every woman at FAC to come, whether you are new or have been part of Women’s Ministry for years!

Come hear about some of the things God has been doing in this interim period (what is staying the same and some changes that are being made) as well as meet leaders, learn about our ministries, and see what our OUT focus will be this fall.

We hope you will be enriched by our time together!
