Moorewomen

Moorewomen Bible Study groups meet weekly to read the Bible and pray together. Joining a group is one of the best ways to get to know other women at College, while being encouraged in reading God’s word together. Groups meet at various times throughout the week, at all three College campuses. Register here for a bible study group.

Crèche

Creche operates for the morning groups at each centre. This is run each week by women from each Bible Study group and some paid helpers, on a rostered basis. Being a part of the crèche roster each term is an important way that we can serve one another and our children.

We ask for a donation of $25 per term per family, to pay for paid helpers, craft supplies and toys. If finances make this difficult please inform your Bible Study leader as we don’t want anyone to miss out because of finances.

Note: If you will be assisting with crèche and haven’t informed Moorewomen of your Working With Children Check details, please provide that information as soon as possible.

Contact Amy Kern if you have any queries about creche.

COVID-19 has temporarily interrupted this ministry. A restart date will be publicised when it is able to be set.

JOIN A BIBLE STUDY GROUP

Moorewomen Talks is our regular weekly program of great talks for women at College. Although the program is prepared particularly with student wives in mind, we are keen for all women in the College community to join us and learn with us.

Moorewomen Talks is about growing to be: mature examples of godliness, faithful supporters of our ministry husbands; and wise and practical servants of Jesus, equipped and eager to love and serve God’s people. Join us for great talks by guest speakers and faculty on Thursday nights, 7.45-9pm during College term! The nights cover a huge range of topics including Bible teaching, ministry skills, thinking about issues in modern culture through a Christian lens, marriage and family, mission and more. We would love to see you whenever you can make it.

As well as providing a great way to be strengthened, stretched and encouraged, Moorewomen Talks also provides opportunities to serve and connect with other women in the College Community. You can catch up with old friends and make new ones. You can get involved in running a night or join the committee that organises these evenings. Make the most of your time at College and get involved in this unique women’s ministry as you prepare for a lifetime of service.

Take a look at the program for this term below, or for all other enquiries, please contact Janine Morrow.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to COVID-19, there will also be a Zoom option for Moorewomen Talks. Links to the Zoom meetings will be emailed out or posted onto the Moorewomen Facebook page, so make sure you sign up or get in contact with Janine to ensure you receive all relevant information!

Are you an avid reader of Christian books? Or is there a large pile of books gathering dust beside your bed, with bookmarks left at just one chapter in? Whichever best describes you, we have a group to help encourage you to complete and reflect on what you read. Moorewomen Books is an opportunity for women to read and discuss Christian books together. There will be one book allocated to read each term, and an evening to meet and discuss it together over supper. You are very welcome to attend just once, or every time, as you feel able.

Junior Jivers is a music and movement class for College children and their carers. It is a time to enjoy dancing, singing and jiving with your children. The music and story time is particularly aimed at children aged 2-4 years but all children aged 0-5 are welcome.

As well as being a time to have some fun with your children in the company of other College children, Junior Jivers provides a great training opportunity. Many churches run Junior Jivers groups as an outreach to parents in their local area. By coming along to Junior Jivers you can find out what it is all about and how to run a successful group. You could take a turn leading the group or assist in the co-ordination of the group.

COVID-19 has temporarily interrupted this ministry. A reset date will be publicised when a date is able to be set.

Each week we have the privilege of visiting the Maternity wards at RPA Hospital for Women and Babies to chat to new mums and babies on behalf of Mothers’ Union. We give them a gift, a card with Bible verses and prayers, and a Gospel of Luke. This is a wonderful evangelistic opportunity to reach out to those in our community.

Most visits are simply a friendly ‘How are you going?’, but sometimes you will have the privilege of praying, sharing your faith or inviting someone to church.

Visiting takes place on either Wednesday or Thursday morning from 9:15-11am.  Volunteers generally commit to visiting one morning a month. For more information about Hospital Visiting, or if you would like to volunteer to visit and/or look after children to enable others to visit, please contact Karen Williamson.

Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

The Prayer Support Group is a group of women from all over Sydney that meets together to pray for the needs of the College, its faculty, students and staff.  We are always looking for new women to join us as we express our dependence on God for all things. It is a joy to hear about how God is working in the lives of our students and their families and to find out firsthand how we can best pray for College and its faculty, students and staff.

2020 Prayer Support Group Meetings

If you have signed up for a morning Bible study group, you will be rostered on with your group to help out with creche once or twice a term.

Under current NSW legislation, all people working with children, paid and unpaid, must undergo a “Working With Children Check”. As Moorewomen, we need all creche helpers to undergo this check – there is no cost involved as a voluntary worker.

If you are yet to provide Moorewomen with your “Working With Children Check” details, please fill out the below form. If you are unsure if you’ve undergone a Check, or haven’t done so previously, please go to the Kidsguardian website, complete the process and then return to this form and provide us with your details.

If you have any questions about creche or the Working With Children Check, please contact Amy Kern.
