New Leader for Manitoba Women's Ministries

After a number of years, we finally have a Women's Ministries leader in Manitoba.  Amy Wong is our new leader.  No stranger to Henderson Highway Church, Amy has been a member here for a number of years.  She was contacted by the conference office during the spring to consider becoming the new leader for Women's Ministries in Manitoba.  After much prayer and deliberation, Amy has accepted.

We look forward to the changes that Amy and her team will bring.  We also want to encourage Amy by covering her in prayer.  Leadership for women's ministries is a very challenging role.  Every women is unique and likewise, their needs are also all unique. 

God bless you, Amy, as you tackle this new role in Manitoba!

Good afternoon, ladies!

Our main presenter is Joyce Odidison, the Women's Ministries leader in our church.  The theme for this retreat is Women in Renewal.  There will also be two afternoon workshops, presented by a women from Winnipeg.

As we get more information, we still share it with you here.
