Welcome to First Presbyterian Women in Ministry!
January 2010
Dear First Presbyterian Women,
Welcome to our new Women in Ministry webpage! As many of you know, I have recently joined First Presbyterian as your new Director of Women in Ministry. I want to thank all of you for the many ways that you have welcomed me as part of your community. Each day my heart grows more thankful to know you and serve alongside you. I joyfully anticipate these next years with you partnering in gospel ministry. Let’s have some fun, Ladies!
The 2009-2010 ministry year has involved much transition for the Women in Ministry. As we continue to look forward to our future together as Christ’s Body, we are eager to reflect upon our past in humble appreciation for the ministry that the Lord has accomplished in and through many generations of women at First Presbyterian. Truly, God has granted First Presbyterian a beautiful legacy of women engaged in the compassionate ministry of Jesus Christ. May he sustain us with his Spirit as we carry on his work within Baton Rouge and around the world!
Perhaps one of the greatest joys of my new role has been the gift of working with Sherry McKinley, who supports Women in Ministry administratively. God has given Sherry a deep heart for Christ and a passion to take Christ’s mission further into the world. Please know that she wants to hear from you if you have any questions regarding Women in Ministry (sherry@fpcbr.org). Also, both Sherry and I would value the opportunity to pray with and for you if you desire prayer support.
We have designed this Women in Ministry website with you in mind. Our hope is that the Lord will encourage us as we read about his good work in our corporate life on these pages. You will find our vital information on this website, including the identification of our leadership.
May God deepen our love for Christ as he transforms us into his image from one degree of glory to another,
Mary Willson (mary@fpcbr.org)
Director of Women in Ministry
