"Make Your Coffee Count"
Saturday, November 6, 2010
Join us for this year's grand Women at Central event as we connect, shop, eat, and give back through our partnership with Project Rescue!

Hospitality: This team helps new women feel welcome, helps women who attend Central feel connected, and handles marketing and public relations of women’s small groups and activities at Central. We want to reveal Jesus to our world with our intentional warmth!

Team leader: Ariana Baban; arianababan@yahoo.com

Discovery: This team addresses the retention and discipleship needs of women, and the possible launch of a multigenerational mentoring concept. Women need opportunity to develop and grow in Christ and to walk with others on the journey.

Team leader: Barb Risner; barbarajrisner@hotmail.com

Outreach: This team desires to reach unchurched women in our community, participate in women’s missions trips and partner with the Southern Missouri district in local & global projects. We also want to partner with existing small groups that reach out to women and support them any way we can.
 

Celebration: This team is eager to celebrate who we are in Christ and how we, as women, uniquely and wonderfully reflect God’s own image. This team will plan annual events at Central, celebrating women. We’re excited to create opportunities for women to enjoy fun times together.

Team Leader: Juanita Olsen; joyofstamping@sbcglobal.net
