English Language Ladies’ group

The EM ladies’ fellowship hopefully continues to be a group where ladies of all backgrounds in our church (and potentially beyond) can feel welcome and encouraged.  We continue to make Bible study a feature of the ministry.  At the end of last year we had our Christmas party at one of the ladies’ homes.  The ladies enjoyed the generous hospitality.  Hopefully, yearly Christmas gatherings are becoming a firm tradition with this group!  A highlight of 2022 was a traditional high tea held at a cafe in the QVB in May.  Numbers attending were quite high and there was a real sense of fun and occasion that afternoon.  In June, we had our annual EQUIP Women’s conference, which was held remotely at church.  It was well-attended and ladies reported feeling encouraged and edified by this year’s talks on Lamentations. 

Meanwhile, the group is wrestling with finding the right balance between being a group that ladies can have fun attending (e.g. social events) and something that encourages them to go deeper in their walk with God (e.g. Bible studies).  Prayers on this topic are appreciated so that we can get the balance right!
