Why Do We Really Need Church?Why can't we worship God in the comfort of our homes, enjoying the best preaching and music that television has to offer? Why can't we just enjoy being alone in the woods, with God and the pine trees? Why can't we meet God at the water's edge, wiggling our toes in the warm sand? Read More...
I've been thinking I would like to go to church, but I don't know anyone.I don't know what to do, where to go, what to expect when I get there. It's hard and it feels awkward to do anything for the first few times. Here are some suggestions: Have you noticed a church near you or one you drive by often? If not, check the phone book. Call the church office. You should find a friendly voice to talk to. (Some churches don't have a full-time staff. If no ones there leave a message so they can get back to you.) If you'd like, ask to be matched up with someone in the church, any of us would love to meet you even before you attend. That way, you will know someone before you come! Also, we could pick you up Sunday morning, meet you for breakfast or coffee before church or at least meet you in the parking lot to show you where to go and what to do. Stop by a church on a weekday and ask someone to show you around so the place doesn't feel so foreign when you come on Sunday. Just show up. Check out when the worship service starts. Many churches have greeters to help you as you enter the sanctuary. If you'd like, ask them to introduce you to someone you can sit with. 5. |

The purpose of Women's Ministry is to meet the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of women at Monroe Church of God and within our community. This ministry is designed to encourage women to grow in their faith in Christ, to develop and strengthen intimate friendships with other women, and to provide opportunities to serve and reach our community for Christ. Be a part of God's work! Women are encouraged to accept their responsibility as women of God who will offer themselves as living sacrifices, acceptable and pleasing to God; be devoted to one another in love, honoring one another above themselves; serve God and their church with zeal, keeping their spiritual fervor; joyfully hope; be patient in affliction and faithful in prayer; share with God’s people who are in need; and practice hospitality. For I know the plans I have for you,
