Women in Christian Service
This year, WSCS (Women’s Society of Christian Service) Sunday was celebrated together with Mother’s Day on 15 May, for a very special reason. Why? Because only women can be mothers, and at the same time be a helper in her family and community. Our invited speaker for the service, Ms Carol Loi aptly shared on “Raising the Next Generation in God’s Way”, a topic most relevant to mothers, and fathers too.
The Lord God said, in Genesis 2:18, “It is not good that a man should be alone; I will make a helper suitable, for him”. How do we function as God-created helpers, created with His heart, for our family, church and community?
When I first started serving in HVMC, it was in WSCS. A women's ministry is unique, because it is a group of women who use their individual God-given gifts to help each other and the community at large.
I found that by serving in WSCS, I grew in discipline, perseverance and faithfulness. It has been a refining journey. I realised that we can only grow in CHRISTLIKENESS when we decide to serve others. I thank God for the women He has placed in my life, in WSCS, who helped shape me to be more like Christ.
Glory to His name!
