JOY FELLOWSHIP

...your prayers. “Do not worry about anything; instead pray about everything.”

“THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE. LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT.” (PSALM 118:24)

Every woman of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is invited to be part of Disciples Women.
The choice is encouraged, but is voluntary. The structure of Disciples Women offers flexibility and diversity.
Women are a part of Disciples Women in many different ways. Some attend meetings regularly.
Some participate in service/action in the congregation, community, and region and beyond.
Some participate through study and prayer at home. Many choose to do all these.
Members of Disciples Women are connected to the worldwide fellowship of Christians,
to the Judeo-Christian Tradition, through the much used “missionary benediction” found Psalm 67.

To Help one another build relationships and to develop leadership in order to work together effectively

4. Stand Up!! for anything. “Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time,
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good…”

…for something higher. “Trust in the Lord with all
your heart, and lean not own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct our path”

Decide to have a good day. “This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. “The Lord does not look at the

things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us
to do twice as much listening as talking.

This scripture was chosen by our founder, Jessie Trout, who was a former missionary and Bible
teacher in Japan. She also served as vice president of the United Christian Missionary Society.

“We declare to you what we have seen and
heard so that you also may have fellowship with
us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father
and with His Son Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:3)

Unto you, O God, we give our thanks and lift our
hearts in prayer. May your presence be with us and
your love surrounds us as we work together as women
of faith. Open our eyes to the needs of the world and
fill our hearts with concern for all people. Guide us so
that we may truly serve you through Jesus Christ, our Lord. AMEN

An over and above gifts to DISCIPLES MISSION FUND for the whole mission of the church.

Recognizing our daily blessings by dropping coins in this box has been a meaningful experience for Disciples Women since 1953. Ingathering is at the SpiritFest.

Kansas Disciples Women give significantly to Disciples Mission Fund (DMF) through their Blessing Box offerings.

The call to prayer for peace and reconciliation is perhaps even more urgent today than in 1959 when The Fellowship of the Least Coin began, as Shanti Solomon of India invited her sisters throughout the world to a fellowship of prayer, with a “least coin” becoming the symbol of that prayer.
