- A Light For My Path
2020 Women's Weekend, Sept. 18-19
Join us for a relaxing, ladies-only, overnight getaway. Meet new friends, reconnect with old friends, re-charge your batteries, and re-focus your faith.
We’ll have time to learn, laugh and share over coffee and great food. Choose from a variety of activities, from high-energy, to not-so high-energy.
Dig in deep to God’s Word. Learn how He is a constant light in the darkness of this world, and meet some women who will encourage you to take that light to those who desperately need it.
Cost is $40 for the whole event or $20 per day. For details and online registration, click the link below:

Fellowship and service are the focus of Sisters of Spirit. Women of all ages meet the 1st Thursday of each month at The Shelter (South Campus, 750 South Gardner St.) from 7-9 PM for a variety of activities that change monthly. Bring a friend and come out for a night of food, fun, and fellowship!
Moving Forward

Looking for love and support following a death, divorce, illness, or disaster? Moving Forward helps women work through their grief in a supportive fellowship. This group meets in the Church Conference Room (old chapel at FCC, main level) each Tuesday night at 5:30 PM.
His Hands
Coordinator: Bettie Fields
Women who enjoy sewing, crocheting, or knitting have a way to serve others through His Hands. These crafty women make baby blankets, cushions, and teddy bears for new mothers, nursing homes, and hospital patients. This group meets 10-11 AM in the Church Library on the 1st Wednesday of the month.
Prayer Pillows
Coordinator: Wanda Perry
Making prayer pillowcases to comfort those in the hospital and nursing home is the focus of this group. Contact Wanda Perry to find out how to help or call the church office at 752-2115.

Kitty Perkinson
Director of Women's Ministry
Meet Kitty
Hi, I'm Kitty, and I am the Director of Women's Ministry at FCC. I am a wife, mother of 4 adult daughters, 16 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, 4 son's-in-law and 6 grandchildren-in-law.
Being Director of Women's Ministry is an answer to prayer from many years ago. I prayed for opportunities to minister to hurting women, and after a 32 year career in conservation engineering, that prayer was answered. Even though I had ample opportunity to minister to women in the workplace, I now do it daily. God never forgets when we are sincere in praying. So be careful what you pray for, you may just get it. I love people and hearing their stories. I enjoy being an encourager to others and helping others in any way I can. Jesus and Church has been a part my life, all of my life, in a variety of ways.
We have many opportunities for women in the Women's Ministry, bible studies, retreats, seminars, events engaging women and girls of all ages. If you are a widow, we have Widow's Luncheon once a month. If you are in a grief situation, we have a Moving Forward group that meets every Tuesday night. If you have young girls and want to mentor and guide them, we have Sister's of Spirit (SOS) once a month. If you are one who likes to sew, we have a monthly His Hands group of ladies. If you are an encourager, get involved in the Prayer Pillow group. Have I got an opportunity for you!
