Our mission is to welcome, teach, encourage and mentor women in all walks of life through friendship, Bible studies, and service projects within our congregation, the community of Mesquite, Texas, and the world.
Our Vision
Scripture is the guiding principle in our studies, activities, work and personal relationships. We develop a strong foundation of faith to pursue a growing relationship with Jesus. We pray for one another and provide discernment, wisdom and peace so that our members feel love and acceptance, and are equip to serve others.
Areas of Involvement
We believe in experiencing the transformative work of Christ in our lives in the following areas of involvement:
Ladies meets at 7 p.m. every Wednesday in the Fellowship Hall during the months of September to May, for time to connect to one another as they study the Scriptures, pray, and encourage one another. This class also shares joy and sorrows through prayer requests each week and serves the community with various service projects. Contact Janet W, Diane M, Brenda B, Debbie W, or Marion H for more information.
Sisters In Service meet every Monday from 9-11:30 a.m. in Building B. Simply show up for an opportunity to fellowship with some sweet ladies while serving the "least of these" (Matthew 25:24-40).
The Lord is working through the Sisters in Service (SIS) Ministry at Mesquite Church of Christ. SIS has been meeting and making items since 1998 producing approximately 1,200 items a year for Children's Hospital, Texas Cancer Centers, Mesquite Area Nursing Homes and other various Hospitals and Children's Homes. They also make wedding quilts for our newlyweds and baby quilts for our new babies in the congregation. During the holidays each year, SIS delivers lap quilts to one of our area nursing homes. The ladies get the opportunity to go from room to room visiting with each resident and giving them a lap quilt. It is their "feel good day of the year".
This ministry helps not only the recipients, but the ladies working together for the Lord. It offers a very gratifying way of serving others. The fellowship of being together with other Christian ladies and serving others is a wonderful blessing!
SIS has been honored by being nominated by Children's Hospital and becoming a finalist in the Dallas County Volunteer Group of the Year Award, plus an additional award for their annual Volunteer Group of the Year. SIS was also a finalist in the American Cancer Society's Caring Spirit Award.
Renew your spirit with other ladies at the Ladies Retreat. This annual event occurs Friday evening through Saturday afternoon at various locations near Mesquite, Texas. A committee of volunteers engages dynamic speakers, plans fun and faith-building activities, and offers opportunities to fellowship with other ladies in order to encourage and revitalize your spirit. Contact Stacey Esner, or Leslie Girvin for more information.
Make new friends and create relationships with Christian sisters as small groups of women meet in member's homes at 7 p.m. on the 4th Monday each month February through May to share a casual meal, lots of conversation, and spiritual devotion. Women of all ages and young iadies age 12 and up are invited to join us. Contact Diane Mickelson or Debbie Wood for more information.
Volunteers prepare and serve a luncheon to families before or after the funeral service of their loved one. This is a gift of love and caring during a difficult and sad time of life. The church provides an entrée and volunteers donate a side dish or dessert. Contact Beth Pitts for more information.
