Prayer Chain

The prayer chain for the Women’s Ministry continues to be a resource for all. Requests for prayer come to Audrey Cummings who then calls the next links in the chain. Those links then call the next people in the chain. We then have all the people in the chain praying for the request.

The Gift of Time .... Celebrating Christmas

In early December The Gift of Time was given to the parents of MBC families with children and /or grandchildren as well as the children and siblings of families in MBC preschool.

The parents enjoyed their Saturday morning Gift of Time while their children were being cared for at Millbrook Baptist Church. The focus for the children was the first Christmas. We learned through a myriad of experiences in crafts, music, stories, songs, and a live nativity about the First Christmas. 

The Gift of Time was given through the partnership of MBC's Women’s Ministry, Serving Others; MBC’s children and preschool ministries and the Outreach Committee. What a wonderful morning we all had!

W.I.N.G.S.

W.I.N.G.S. is a collaborative ministry with Women’s Ministry’s Fun and Fellowship. Please see Fun and Fellowship for detailed information.
Ongoing / may participate at any time
