Trinity Crete Women's Ministry

Ladies, Women's Ministry is having a Cookie Exchange on Saturday, December 13. It will be from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM in Trinity's Fellowship Hall. There is no fee, however, we would love to have your cookie recipes along with cookies (or bars) to share in the exchange. We would like it if you could bring a dozen cookies for ladies to sample before selecting your favorites in the exchange. We are asking everyone who participates in this to bring two dozen cookies for the selection process. A container will be provided for the cookies you select to bring home. Hot chocolate bar and water will be provided.

To ensure that we have a variety of cookies, we are asking all who participate to sign up on the Welcome Home ledge at church. By signing up this way, you have an opportunity to see what kinds of cookies are being made and brought in so you can select accordingly. We would like to not have duplicates. All ladies are welcome to attend; ages 13 and younger please come with your parent.

Women’s Bible Study… The Women of Christmas
Mondays, November 3, 10, 17, 24 at 6:30 PM, Fellowship Hall West

The Women of Christmas by Liz Curtis Higgs is a book that explores the faith and stories of three women from the Nativity: Elizabeth, Mary, and Anna. It delves into their individual experiences of trust, obedience, and perseverance through their different life stages—Elizabeth's barrenness, Mary's young virginity, and Anna's widowhood—to offer fresh inspiration for the Christmas season. The book uses the Gospel of Luke as a guide to illuminate their devotion and demonstrates how God uses women of all ages and backgrounds to accomplish His purposes.

The author writes, “Christmas is so much more than a holiday. So much more than buying and wrapping and cooking and eating and trimming with tinsel and mailing out cards. It’s a season for reflection, for preparation, for renewal. The perfect time to put aside our shopping lists and reach for our Bibles, where the story of the Christ child awaits us.”

If you have any questions, please contact Deb Witte at 708-979-4027. There is also a $5.00 charge for the book.
