Mastering Motherhood seeks to provide love, support, encouragement and friendship to women seeking to follow the Lord in the adventure of mothering. Each week the ladies come together as a large group for brunch and devotions after which they break off into small groups studies. There is childcare provided for preschool and elementary aged children. The studies range in topics from parenting to deep bible studies. Check out the newsletter below for detailed descriptions of the studies available. Several of the studies don't build upon the previous week's discussion so you can join at any time!

Women's Missionary Fellowship meets monthly through the school year and supports various mission needs. They ensure the missionaries WHFC supports are encouraged through prayer, correspondence and the meeting of financial needs. They coordinate the Mother/Daughter Banquet which is their annual fund raiser. New members are always welcome and especially those who have a heart for missions.

Kathy Thompson, a retired missionary to India, also lends her time and understanding of the demands on our missionaries by ensuring that they are supported through letters and emails.

The Ladies Missionary Fellowship hosts a Women's Spring Banquet. The evening is kicked off with a Chinese and silent auction plus a bake sale with all the proceeds used to support missions. There is then a catered banquet followed by a combination of touching and humorous entertainment and an engaging speaker. Previously, this event has been held in the Spring but in 2011 it will be held in the Fall and likely be a tea party.

A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place... by Beth Moore
Discover the parallels of the Tabernacle's building and your life as a chosen vessel of God. While the title is familiar, the content for this in-depth video teaching series is all new and rich in detail. Taken primarily from the Book of Exodus, A Woman s Heart: God's Dwelling Place by Beth Moore will take you on a fascinating journey into why God would chose to live in a wilderness tabernacle, made by human hands.
