LED BY THE SPIRIT
FALL SEASON 2021: SPIRITUALITY
WINGS is back on Wednesday mornings starting October 13, 2021. This faith enhancement group for women encourages spiritual growth through prayer, Scripture study, life sharing and community. We will meet on Wednesdays on the Zoom platform from 9:15-11:15am for the rest of this year.
Our engaging speakers will uplift you and keep you informed. You’ll experience a welcoming community as we support each other in our spiritual growth. Invite a friend! Women from local parishes and other denominations are welcome! If you were a member last year you will automatically receive a Zoom invitation. If you’re new to WINGS or wish to sample a meeting, send your email address to Nancy Midlin midlin.nancy@gmail.com. She will send you the link to Zoom.
Our theme for this year is “Strength for the Journey”. Say “Yes” to WINGS!”
—————————————
WINGS is a faith enhancement group that encourages spiritual growth through prayer, scripture study, spiritual exploration, life sharing and community. Women in all stages of life come together weekly to grow in their relationship with God and each other and learn to recognize their own spiritual gifts.
Affirmed and strengthened by the support of their Christian sisters and the Holy Spirit, the women of WINGS can better share God !s love in the wider community of family, parish, neighborhood and world. Rather than being a service-oriented organization, the focus of WINGS is building up the Body of Christ by meeting its members spiritual needs.
