The goal of Women’s Ministries is to support the spiritual growth of women. Under the umbrella of Adult Christian Education, this is accomplished by providing: Bible study, prayer, personal reflection, and worship to support interpersonal and spiritual growth; fellowship activities for joining together to develop meaningful relationships; events that reach out to others in the congregation and the surrounding community; and service to help others in need with the goal of supporting women to respond to scripture, follow Christ’s example, and nurture a relationship with God.

Faith Sharing
At Faith Sharing, we grow in faith by gathering weekly from September to May to explore scripture, support one another, and pray together. Through lecture, exploring scripture passages, and large and small group discussion, women gain insights about how to live out their Christian faith. The group is a diverse mix of women, some of whom are experienced and others new to Bible study. Our lay leaders direct us toward greater knowledge and a broader understanding of scripture as we deepen our faith in God. Our lives are enriched by the fellowship and support for one another. All are welcome. We gather from 9:45-11:15 AM on Thursdays at the church. Childcare is provided.

Faith Sharing will resume on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 for a six-week study: “The Jesus I Never Knew” by Phillip Yancey.  Weekly video presentations, which include movie clips, will help us look at the life and ministry of Jesus, truly the most compelling, creative, challenging, fearless and ultimately satisfying person we can know. A Participant's Guide book ($10, scholarship funding available) will help us on our way. This study is open to all women, whether or not you have participated in Faith Sharing in the past.  Register via email to barbara@actonc.org  or call the Church office at 978-263-2728.  FYI this is a favorite study of Rev. Andy. Hope to see you all in this new year for this new study!

Women's Retreat
All women are welcome on our three-day, two-night retreat which takes place each spring. Each year we gather to worship, have fun, and learn together with the help of an experienced retreat leader. This is a wonderful opportunity for rest, relaxation and spiritual renewal, as well as an opportunity to make new friends.
