The Methodist Women have taken a new name and a new mission statement. We are now the Sisters of Faith–a group of women who have accepted the challenge of Colossians 3:23 (NIV) which states,
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord.
not for human masters.
Our mission is to reach out to women and children in our church and community by using unconditional love, acceptance, and guidance with open hearts.The Methodist Women have taken a new name and a new mission statement. We are now the Sisters of Faith–

Please pray for those who are sick, in need, mourning, traveling, or simply poor in spirit. We have the mighty power of God on our side! We need to lift these people up to the Lord and ask for love, grace, mercy, and His will be done in their lives.
