Christmas Tea Outreach Event

PURPOSE: Evangelism, Outreach & On-going Ministry in Community

MISSION IS TO: Tell the Good News as the angel did. Encourage the “shepherds” who hear to go out with excitement and anticipation. Spread the word to others by hosting a Christmas Tea of their own. Bring amazement and knowledge of Jesus Christ to the lost in our neighborhoods.

CHRISTMAS TEA SCRIPTURE: When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see the things that have happened, which the Lord has told us about.’ So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.Luke 2:13-18

~We are to be a living testimony of the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. We should glorify & praise God as the “Heavenly Host” displayed. Those observing us daily will be inclined to share that joy by accepting an invitation to our Christmas Teas. This is the opportunity we have prayed for, to be a witness. Now we can spread the word in our very own homes.

The Women of Wakefield challenge you this year to go out like the shepherds with excitement and anticipation to help spread the word to others by following our example and coming along side us as the “Heavenly Hosts” did with the angel who told the shepherds the good news. We encourage you to open your homes to your community in order to bring the amazement and knowledge of Jesus Christ to the lost in your neighborhoods.Will you make a commitment to be a “Heavenly Host” and share your home with your neighbors? We will provide a capable speaker and a preparation partner, known as a “Guardian Angel”. Please give us your information and find a time, that fits your schedule. A sign-up brochure will be on the Women's Bulletin Board in church hallway and foyer table.

What can the Women's Ministry do for you?

And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me - holy is his name." Luke 1:46-49

Any women's ministry will offer great things for you to be apart of. Here at Wakefield we believe all women not only should be a part of this ministry but truly desire the fellowship and discipleship it provides. Sometimes however, we as women tend to shy away from getting involved for whatever reason. Some women believe they may not have anything to offer, others may think..."what if they don't accept me"...or... "my schedule is limited and this particular time does not work for me."

WOMEN!?!?!? Mercy....?

Would you agree, we are soooo emotional and sometimes we actually think too much!!? Well...right? Come on...

The Women of Wakefield want YOU to know that in our eyes, we see each and every woman as A GIFT FROM GOD. We see women as FRIENDS!! We see women as confidants! We see women as fun people to hang with, outside of church. We see moms whose children are the same age and they both need friendships!!! We see single moms who need to know other single moms to discuss their struggles and joys!! We see mature women of the church with more wisdom than we could ever imagine, to encourage the young wife and mother, in a Titus 2 role, !!! We see homeschooling moms who need activities without their children, sometimes. We see women who love to pray and desire a group to pray with corporately. We see young ladies in college or pursuing careers that need opportunities to grow spiritually. We see the mothers of those in college or pursuing a career away from them longing to pray with mothers of the same heart. We see retired women who desire to have a role with the women of the church. We see women excited about missions and await an opportunity to be apart of a missional project. We see women who are leaders, that may not be accepting God's call for their participation in this ministry. We see shy women who may be excited about helping out with something more low key, instead of being in the spotlight. WE SEE YOU!!! And we already love you!!!

Ladies, we submit to you, that you are wonderfully and fearfully made by the Father. He has placed you where you are for a time such as this. We all have a different story and live lives of our own...but the bottom line is...WE ARE ALL WOMEN!!!! WE LOVE JESUS AND DESIRE TO PLEASE HIM!!! We all have "issues", flaws and backgrounds!!! But we see you all as Beautiful Daughters of the King who have gifts and talents that, combined, can have an amazing impact for the Kingdom.

Do you believe God has been mindful of you, His servant? Do you believe He can do great things for you and through you? You will be blessing to so many like Mary...but how? So many opportunities it is hard to decide where to start. Don't be overwhelmed, talk to someone from the committee and let us know what excites you!! What are you good at? What is the Lord revealing to you about serving or participating within this ministry? How is He calling you OUT of your comfort zone in order to experience spiritual growth? We want to know how we can bring the "WOW" to your life!!!! What would you like to see the Women of Wakefield provide for the ladies in this congregation !!!?

Please leave a comment below and let us know!! We would love to hear from you all...so, don't hold back, tell us what you think!!! We are truly...HERE TO SERVE!!!
