Many thanks to those of you who have submitted names of qualified women in your congregations to serve as Women’s Ministry Congregational Contacts (WMCC).  For those of you who haven’t yet been able to do so, please pass on to the DCAD the name of a woman in your congregation who might fit the following criteria:

Those who are to be considered for positions as WMCC would be women who are faithful in the public use of the means of grace and who have given evidence of a strong personal devotional life. In addition to the spiritual qualities mentioned above, here are other characteristics that would be beneficial for someone serving as a WMCC: 

·       Has an active awareness of women’s ministry within her congregation;

·       Is a team player who will communicate well with her pastor and others in leadership;

·       Has zeal and enthusiasm for women’s ministry;

·       Possesses computer skills that would help her communicate with the district;

Action items for the WMCC would include:

·       Become familiar with the Heirs Together Bible study;

·       Receive information from the WMDC and inform her congregation (the called workers and overall leadership) of Women’s Ministry information and resources available and of Women’s Ministry events occurring nationwide or locally

·       Collect, record and send to the WMDC ideas of women’s ministry events/activities that are working well in her congregation

·       Become familiar with online resources provided by the WMC at www.wels.net/women;

It is our prayer that women’s ministry at all levels will support the work of Adult Discipleship by assisting WELS congregations to equip women to use their gifts to God’s glory and the benefit of his kingdom here on earth (adapted from the WM job description).
