Our
purpose is to uplift, encourage and support the members of Gateway and its
community. We believe what the Bible teaches and seek to live it in our
individual lives.
This women’s ministry began in 1977 when several Gateway women attended a
women’s retreat – the subject of the retreat being ‘Lord’s Ladies’.
The retreat came home to Mount Sterling where, ever since, the Lord’s Ladies
have been an integral part of the church.
Various
ministries of the Lord’s Ladies include:
-
providing birthday gifts to local nursing home tenants
-
participating in Operation Christmas Child
-
providing financial assistance to needy families, to mission fields
and/or whenever any benevolent or other need arises.
Present
officers include:
Ashley Osbourne – president
Diane Williams – vice president
Donna Lindon – secretary
Jana Elliott – treasurer.
The Lord’s
Ladies is supported by the church budget and also has an annual chili
luncheon and auction which supplies a large portion of funds used for
various ministries. Everyone
is welcome to participate in our monthly meetings for lots of Christian
fellowship.
