God declares in Jeremiah 29:11, that He has extraordinary plans for us…plans that give us a hope and a future. That is good news for women who are hurting or weighed down by the circumstances of life. CRBC seeks to create environments that not only allow women to experience the life of Christ, but also allow women to give away the love of Christ. As relationships among women are formed and develop over time, women are able to journey through life together, and become a part of something that is bigger than themselves.

Where are you in your journey? Do you have relationships that help you move forward in your relationship with God? Are you serving Him by serving others? Do you have the awareness that God’s purpose for your life is being fulfilled? To find out more about women’s ministries here at Council Road Baptist Church, email chamberlain@councilroad.org .

There are so many great ways to connect with other CRBC women! You can safely register or get more information on any of our CRBC Women’s Ministry Events by going online at www.councilroad.org. You can also contact Ali Hunt in our Community Offices at ahunt@councilroad.org. Here's a few of the events we're engaged in:

Volunteers Needed

Want to put a smile on the face of a hurting child?  Then volunteer at the DHS shelter.  It's as simple as holding a baby, playing with a toddler, doing a craft with a school-aged child or talking with a teenager.  Contact James Hunt at 503-4092 or jhunt@councilroad.org.

Women's Evening Bible Study - "Jonah, Navigating a Life Interrupted" by Priscilla Shirer

 They shock us; they shake us; they compel us to change.  You can't escape life's interruptions, but you can change your perspective on them. Dive into the study of Jonah and discover that what you see as an interruption may truly be God's divine invitation to a life so bigger than you can imagine.  Come join us for a 6 - week study on Monday evenings at 6:30 in the Chapel beginning January 16.   The cost is $12.  Childcare is available for a minimal fee and by registration only!  You may register at www.councilroad.org or contact the Compassion Ministries Office at 789-3175.
