Women's Council & Women's Ministries at Arcade

Dear AL Ladies:

As one of your representatives to Women's Council (Gayla is the other one), I attended the WC meeting tonite for the first time. Following are some things you may want to know regarding Women's Ministries at Arcade.

Your Board consists of the following members: Dixie Weyel, Director; Sheila Davison, Micki Moore, Sheila Newell, Alice Moss, Louise Hunt, Rachel Jackson, Cindy Nelson, Rissa Scott and Kari Bondar.

Women's Ministries is very active and is open to suggestions, comments, snide remarks, etc. There are several newer younger women on the board, so it looks like the older members are looking to step down at some point when the younger ones have things well in hand.

If you want to know what Women's Ministries is doing, brochure of some of the activities is available at the WM table in the narthex every Sunday. Of interest to you may be some of the following:
