WCG Elects New Officers

Women of the Church of God (WCG) met March 9 at the home of Velvet Gonzales.

There were eight ladies in attendance. They were Doris Vance, Eulah Wilson, Shirley Smithpeters, Vivian Spruill, Janet Toland, Velvet Gonzales, Rhonda Spruill and Jeannie Burchfield.

The WCG elected new officers and discussed the upcoming state WCG convention to be held April 30 through May 1 at Snow Springs Campground in Hot Springs.

Velvet presented a lesson entitled, A Passion and a Purpose. The women became acquainted with the current mission statement of the WCG organization, and each lady was inspired to 'own' the mission of the WCG as a personal passion.

This mission statement is divided into six main purposes:

1. To extend the gospel of Jesus Christ;
2. To promote spiritual and personal growth;
3. To build friendship and interdependence;
4. To widen mental horizons and enlarge vision;
5. To encourage the stewardship of all of life; and
6. To support the united ministries of the Church of God through gifts of finance and leadership.

This statement guides the organization in all its programming and keeps it focused on what we want to accomplish.
