Annual Events

Following is an overview of the annual events and special activities. As soon as these are sheduled, dates will be available on the WIC Calendar. Please add those important dates to your calendar!

Fall kickoff event – mid August. This is an annual preview event where you learn about ministries offered in the church and the upcoming WIC events for the year. There is usually a short talk by one of the women in the church on a pertinent topic. We introduce the WIC Ministry Team and describe the upcoming Bible studies and other opportunities offered, such as the book club, spiritual mothering opportunities, mercy ministries, Moms play groups, etc.

Christmas Craft event – early December. Women and children of ECPC host events to give children in our communities an opportunity to make gifts for family members. These events may be held with children from two communities (Summerhill in downtown Atlanta and/or the Concept 21 Roswell Apartment complex) working side by side with ECPC children to make gifts for parents and siblings. Come join us as we help these children experience the joy of giving.

Women’s Retreat – February or March. An excellent opportunity to get away, spend some time with friends, get to know some new people, and hear an inspiring, encouraging message. There will be planned activities, fun, food and fellowship for all. The second night is optional with no planned activities. You can stay for a second night and have free time to relax with friends or get to know some new ones. nights. It is one of the highlights of our year and draws the most women – don’t miss this event!

Spring event – April or May. We wind down the year with a special event in late spring. It is a wonderful time for ladies of all ages to fellowship and learn something new.
