"Women Ministry Sunday"
Sister Mary Alice Murphy, who implemented the first homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Fort Collins and just recently opened the Murphy Center For Hope, was kind enough to let a group of women from our church come into her home and videotape an interview with her. We will be using short clips of that interview during the sermon, and Rev. Ryan will then talk about each clip.
We asked her the following questions, which she answered, and which Rev. Ryan will discuss in the sermon. What is your image of God? What sustains you in your mission for the long term? What is it like for women who are homeless? Does affluence in a community hide the problem of homelessness? What is your advice for the people of this church?
Women from all different groups of this church will participate in each of the services, from ushering and serving communion to leading the Call to Worship, giving the Children's sermon, and participating in a women's choir. Sister Mary Alice Murphy herself will be coming to the 9:15 service to receive a special thank you from our church.
