This blog is about celebrating New Church women in ministry and sharing their gifts with the world. It is about creating fellowship between women who have been called to serve the New Church and about creating connection between all those who seek to serve the Lord. All kinds of ministries will be explored, with a particular emphasis on preaching, pastoring and chaplaincy.
