CWF Purpose
The purpose of Disciples Women is to provide opportunities for spiritual growth, enrichment, education, and creative ministries to enable women to develop a sense of personal responsibility for the whole mission of the church of Jesus Christ and to provide a channel through which women in the congregation and the regional Women’s Ministries in the United States and Canada may be joined in fellowship and find means for effective participation in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
CWF Scripture
The following scripture was chosen by our founder, Jessie Trout.
“That which we have seen and heard declare unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son, Jesus Christ.”
1 John 1:3
Called as partners in Christ’s Service
Called as partners in Christ’s service,
Called to ministries of grace.
We respond with deep commitment
Fresh new lines of faith to trace.
May we learn the art of sharing,
Side by side and friend with friend,
Equal partners in our caring
To fulfill God’s chosen end.
Christ’s example, Christ’s inspiring,
Christ’s clear call to work and worth,
Let us follow, never faltering,
Reconciling folk on earth.
Men and women, richer, poorer;
All God’s people, young and old,
Blending human skills together
Gracious gifts from God unfold.
Thus new patterns for Christ’s mission,
In a small or global sense,
Help us bear each other’s burdens
Breaking down each wall or fence,
Words of comfort, words of vision.
Words of challenge, said with care.
Bring new power and strength for action,
Make us colleagues, free and fair.
So God, grant us for tomorrow,
Ways to order human life
That surround each person’s sorrow
With a calm that conquers strife.
Make us partners in our living.
Our compassion to increase,
Messengers of faith, thus giving
Hope and confidence and peace.
