Women's Ministry

For Fall 2022, we have a drop-in bible study on Wednesday nights. We will likely add a few social events to our calendar, too. Check back soon to get plugged in!

Fall 2022 Study

"You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News" by Kelly Kapic. Meeting Wednesday nights at 7pm beginning Sept 14th at Susan Cunningham's home.

A Note about COVID-19

Through 2020 and into 2021, our women's ministry experienced some changes to our usual routines and gatherings. Typically, our ministry provides the following events and fellowship opportunities for our women:

Bible Studies: In the fall, spring, and summer, we usually offer a Scripture-based bible studies to encourage our women and deepen their understanding of the Word of God.

Fellowship Events: We usually offer 1-2 social/fellowship events each quarter. In the past, we've done dinners out, craft nights, household goods "swaps," and other fun events. These are usually offered on a one-time basis. Keep checking this page for future events!

Conferences/Training: Usually once/year we plan or join a local conference for training and encouragement. Our last conference was Nancy Guthrie's Biblical Theology Workshop for women (Feb 2020). Conferences have been on hiatus due to COVID, but we hope to rejoin them soon.

Summer Potlucks: In the summers, our women usually meet twice a month for a good, old-fashioned (but often with paleo or low carb options) potluck! Potlucks kick off at 7pm and end when the mosquitoes eat more than we do.

CCC Women on social media

FACEBOOK: To get the latest up-to-date info on any of the below events, please check out our church Facebook page or CCC Women's Facebook page for details, event pages, and more info. Many of our women's ministry events include fellowships (dinners, hangouts), ministry events (packing parties for The Well-House or Shelby County Foster Parents' Association), and the occasional retreat.

MOM'S PLAYGROUP: All CCC members/attenders/visitors who are moms can and should join our Facebook group. We post impromptu playdates (usually in/around Helena/Pelham/Alabaster), outings, requests for recommendations, names of sitters, free clothes/toys, etc. on this page. IT IS LIFE SAVING + HELPFUL to moms!...even older moms...as (ahem) a few of us are. You can just read the posts, or join the conversation & offer up some of your own gently used items. Seriously, don't buy another toddler bike...someone in this group will have a loaner for you. See you in the group! To ask to join this group, you may contact Caroline or Heather (group admins).
