Women of Worth (W.O.W.) - Becky Benner, Director

Passage 1 Peter 3:3-4:

3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.  

Verse is from the New International Version (NIV)

Our ladies enjoy this fellowship and outreach ministry that specializes in relating the Bible to women's issues.  The goal is to challenge women to grow beyond where they presently are to become all that God created them to be.

Women of Worth, the Women's Ministry of the Delaware Church of Christ in Christian Union, is:

    An approved auxiliary for women within the church under the church board to equip women to serve others and to have personal service extended to them as well. 

    An umbrella-type arrangement that engulfs all things women do within the church with the central goal of ministry to others, to the church, to their families, and themselves. 

    A redemptive and evangelistic arm of the church to bring women to the Lord and closer to each other. 

    A group of workers who serve under appointment and are financially self-supporting. 

    Self-committing ministry that has its own list of responsibilities and job descriptions.
