All entires must be received by October 15.

Send them to campbellwomen@gmail.com.

The winner will be announced at our Women's Ministry Fair on October 23!

October 8: Finding Your Personal Oasis

Guest Speaker Renee Fahs, PhD, shares insights into stress-relief, self-care, and reducing and maintaining sanity while keeping up with life’s responsibilities.

“Too often we spend so much time taking care of others that we forget to take care of ourselves. It is true that if we don't take care of ourselves, then we have difficulty taking care of others. The information provided isn't about how to be selfish, but how to be happy and less stressed so that we can give the best we can to our jobs, our friends and our family.”

What is Women's Ministry?

Purpose and Vision of the Women's Ministry, Campbell Church of Christ:

Out of our love for Christ and each other, we desire to glorify God by helping women discover their gifts, grow in spiritual maturity, develop Christian friendships, and equip one another for ministry and outreach.

Why did we bother with a Purpose and a Vision?

• To force us to think about the bigger picture…what God wants us to do today in Silicon Valley and beyond
• To use as a compass to guide our planning
• To prompt our action …whatever you think most about is what you tend to work on
• To unify us-put all our wood behind our chosen arrows
• To help us communicate what God is doing with us
• To inspire others to come along side and work with us
• To give us passion for what we’re doing
