What is CWF?
It stands for Christian Women’s Fellowship and they meet on the first Thursday afternoon of the month.
 
Who goes?
Any woman is welcome!
 
Why should I go?
The fellowship is an important part of each meeting for most of the ladies.  It’s a chance to visit with people you would like to know better and to make deep friendships.  A short bible study is a part of each meeting: usually on a subject that reflects a woman’s interests.  Service...the women of CWF have a sincere interest in improving our world:  whether it’s pulling weeds, celebrating a wedding or birth, shining up the building, or contributing to causes that touch their hearts.
 
What will I have to do?
Whatever you feel comfortable doing!  Some of them like to entertain, so they sign up to be hostess at a meeting.  Some of them like to study and share, so they sign up to present a short lesson.  Some                     of them are just an appreciative audience.  There is a short business   meeting when they plan future pojects, so your opinion would be welcome too.
