The Well - Women's Ministry

The Well LogoJesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’ John 4:13-14

Welcome! You are in the right place if you are a woman between 20 and 90 who loves to fellowship with other “girlfriends.” You are in the right place if you need an occasional uplifting message and you like to have a meal prepared by someone other than yourself. The Well is the place to come 4-5 times a year to be replenished. Bring your friends for a “Ladies Night Out.” Bring a visitor to our church to help them “feel the warmth” and “find a niche.” Or you can come alone and find a great table of women ready to be your friend. Each evening God uses ordinary women to accomplish His extraordinary will and bless women in the process. The Well is a place for you.

Birdwells

Buy Tickets NOW!Special Event Coming for Men and Women!!

Thursday, August 5

7:00 PM in the Family Life Center

with Lt. Col. Brian Birdwell and his wife Mel

Lt. Col. (Ret.) Brian Birdwell is a survivor of the terrorists' attacks on September 11, 2001. After hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 collided into the Pentagon, Birdwell was thrown to the ground and engulfed in flames. Of the burns that consumed 60 percent of his body, nearly half were third degree, resulting in the need for 30+ operations. Brian's recovery has been truly remarkable and spiritually he is stronger than ever before. Together, he and his wife, Mel, share that spiritual strength and encouragement with other burn survivors and their families through the message of Christ's love and sovereignty. For more information about the Birdwell's ministry, visit www.facethefire.org.

This special event is open to all... men and women! Bring your spouse, your family, your friends and enjoy a great evening complete with BBQ by Matt Preston! The cost is $20 per person. If you buy a whole table (seats 8), you'll get a special rate of $15 per person.

Past Events

The Well with Jennifer Strickland
On May 6, 280 women and teenage girls joined together for a night of fellowship, good food, and an insightful message. We were surrounded by 35 beautifully and uniquely decorated tables complete with full service by the men of our congregation. Jennifer Strickland, former supermodel, shared her testimony about finding her inner beauty in Christ and how beauty should be from the inside out. It was truly a night for women, and we were all blessed to be together. Click here to see the entire photo album.

The Well with Natalie Witcher and Josh Ingram
Another Thursday night at "The Well" and all were replenished in one way or another. Josh Ingram captivated us with some beautiful songs that he has written. What a joy it was to watch his wife in the audience as he performed the song he wrote about his love for her. Our guest speaker, Natalie Witcher, gave us plenty to think about regarding the baggage we carry. Guilt, shame, fear, anger and envy are the top five pieces of baggage that we lug around. Natalie made it clear to us that the enemy is not creative. He hits us over and over with the same things. Nevertheless, we can overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. thanks to all of you who brought gently used purses for the women's shelter. It is such a blessing to enjoy an evening with women who are so generous! Click here to see more pictures from the event.

The Well with Thelma Wells
What a lovely evening we enjoyed at the January “Well” event. Caleb Hailey sang three beautiful songs: Testify To Love, Angels Among Us, and Temporary Home. Our guest speaker, Thelma Wells, treated us to a delightful discussion about how each of us has a purpose for being on this earth. We may not know exactly what that purpose is, but God is orchestrating things in our life so that we will be able to figure it out. She encouraged us to focus on what we really enjoy doing to help us find that purpose. Panera Bread provided a light dinner of broccoli cheese or potato soup, harvest apple salad and yummy chocolate brownies.  Click here for the full photo album.

The Well with Cindy Ryan

Guests who attended the November “Well” were treated to a wonderful evening of “Biblical Wisdom” from Dr. Cindy Ryan. Her wonderful humor allowed us to laugh and appreciate the challenges of growing older. Singer, Donna Kay inspired us with uplifting music from her album as we enjoyed picnic lunches from Panera Bread. If you have never attended one of our events, January will be a great time to start as Thelma Wells will be our guest speaker. Click here to view the full photo album.
