To all Riverwood women: Please thoughtfully consider serving on a WIC committee to help share the burden of the many church functions and organizational tasks. Together we can use our talents to serve our growing church.
The PCA website says that WIC is an “holy fellowship”. The note below is from the WIC page. I think it is such a precious summation and Biblical reference that outlines our role and responsibility as women in the church.
A biblical strategy for encouraging and equipping women to share their gifts and graces for the mutual good, and to maintain an holy fellowship, is found in Titus 2:1-5. The Titus mandate for women to nurture women should be the driving force of a women’s ministry because this is part of our covenant privilege and responsibility.
The Bulletin Board Committee organizes and maintains the WIC bulletin boards in an attractive and timely way so that information pertaining to WIC on a local level and PresWIC can be displayed. This committee also coordinates volunteers for Sunday am snacks. This committee reports to Historian.
The Cheer Committee coordinates visits to people in the hospital and sending cards in the name of the church as tokens of cheer and encouragement to members and regularly attending friends of the congregation who are ill, have had a baby , are hospitalized or had a death in the family. This committee also plans all baby and wedding showers. This committee reports to the WIC Vice President.
The Service Committee organizes and coordinates service projects that extend beyond the church into the community and the world, including the WIC Love Gift. This committee also helps and/or coordinates RUF support, college lunches, college cram kit events, and any Men’s Presbytery events that are held at Riverwood. This committee reports to the Missions officer.
The Social Committee coordinates all-church socials throughout the year to encourage fellowship among members and friends of the church. Events that this committee coordinates, include, PresWIC events at Riverwood, receptions, dinner on the grounds, and picnics. This committee reports to the WIC Secretary.
The TLC Committee coordinates providing meals and meeting other needs (transportation, child care, etc.) as needed, in coordination with the Deacons and Cheer Committee, when a new baby, illness, hospitalization, or death occurs to a member or regularly attending visitor. This committee reports to the Spiritual Growth officer.
