Women | Women's Ministry

When We Meet

We get together as often as our family, church and work schedules will permit. Please watch the church bulletin or Newsletter for details or check out What's Happening @ NHV (in the About Us section on the left). You may also get there from here.

Our Focus

To encourage and empower women of all ages by extending compassion and understanding to their individual needs. To allow the LOVE of God to change casual acquaintances into authentic, dynamic relationships. To reach out to all women through love and acceptance of where they are or where they've been.

Our Promise

If you've been in women's groups before and loved them, then you'll feel right at home. If you've been in women's groups before and didn't find what you were looking for, give us a try - we believe we're different. We see each other's faults but still love and accept one another in spite of them. We don't believe anyone should be excluded or left out. If you've never been part of a women's group, you're in for a surprise. We know none of us are perfect and we don't pretend to be. We encourage each other to look beyond our individual weaknesses and imperfections and instead focus on the person God created us to be.

In-Depth Studies

In the Spring and Fall we start a new book, video series or Bible study. This not only allows us to grow deeper spiritually but we also have a GREAT time before, during and after the studies. And there is almost always some kind of munchies at our gatherings.

One on One

When we're not studying, we're focusing on building relationships within the women of NHV. The leaders connect one on one with each woman. Maybe it's an encouraging phone call, a lunch date, a shopping trip or a movie. The purpose is to build lasting relationships that continue to multiply outward.

Ladies "Time Out"

Our ladies meet several times through the year for various types of FUN and FEMALE bonding. These events have included:

• Baby Showers
• Cookie Exchanges
• Ladies  Luncheons
• Mini Spa Night
• Pajama Parties
• Total Spa Experience
• Various Women's Conferences
• Wedding Showers

Women's Retreats

Our retreats are a time to briefly 'GET AWAY' - usually for a long weekend. Each Spring, we go to the beautiful piney woods of Hawkins, Texas (about 2 hrs east of Rowlett) to the Brookhaven Retreat Center. Our next Retreat will be April 2008. We'll give you more details as we get closer to the date.

Volunteer Opportunities

The Women's Ministries at NHV are all coordinated by volunteers. And it takes many volunteers to organize some of our gift showers, luncheons and spa events. Please consider signing up as a servant volunteer. We can apply your talents for setting up tables and decorations, food preparation and clean up or spa services like makeovers and massages. Please let us know what your primary and secondary interests are.
