As you may, or may not, have seen the executive committee for IN-MI Mennonite Women is looking for a secretary to join the committee. I have been privileged to serve in this role twice. I gained much more from the role that I gave. I got to know women from other congregations, from other parts of our conference. I participated in the planning and hosting of women's retreats, conference luncheons, and spring inspirational meetings. Along the way, I got to know the other committee members well and consider them lifelong friends and sisters.

If you enjoy meeting people, hosting and planning, keeping and organizing the records of an organization, please consider volunteering to join the executive committee -- the secretary position is open now. Your gifts are needed.

Pass this along to a friend who may have the gifts but is hesitant to volunteer. Some of us need to be tapped on the shoulder. You can respond through this site. Janette Amstutz, Joy Detweiler, and Cindy Steiner form the current committee -- you'll thoroughly enjoy participating with them on the committee.

Time commitment: 2-3 meetings per year, participating in the spring (May) inspirational meeting, the luncheon during conference annual sessions, and the fall retreat at Amigo Centre. Your involvement is to keep the records (minutes and other records) and to keep up the display used at conference, etc.

PLEASE CONSIDER!!!

Good Evening All. Hope you are cuddled up by a fire or snuggled in a blanket this snowy evening.
We are still in need of a few women to join our executive committee. If you know of someone from your church or another church that may be interested or willing to give their time to IN/MI Mennonite Women, let us know. We are looking for a secretary and a president. Just send us a message.
Stay safe and warm these days.

Dear Friends from Amigo Centre Retreat,
It was such a joy to be with you at the Women and Girls Retreat earlier this month!
I remember meaningful conversation, earnest prayers, joyful singing and lots of smiles as we shared sisterhood in a place created by God.
Thank you for coming, sharing connections and stories with me. I am so glad I met you!

We have many great resources and updates on our website: mwusa.org

If you did not have a chance to sign up for our monthly email newsletter called Grapevine, or our regular Blog which has all kinds of inspiration, just sent me an email and I will be happy to add you to our list.

I am aware that some of you were not prepared to give to our ministries while we were at the retreat - but you may donate online at any time here: https://mennonitewomenusa.org/give/ or simply send a check made out to MW USA to me and I will forward it.

Please keep Mennonite Women USA in your prayers as we, along with you continue to bear fruit from the vine!
