We say "wow" when we are excited and amazed about something, but that expression now has a special meaning for Evergreen Lutheran Church: W.O.W.--Women of Wellbeing--is an exciting new ministry for the
amazing women of our congregation.
           Like a deep well from which you draw up cool water to slake your thirst, we all need a deep well within ourselves from which to draw strength and comfort. This "well" within each of us needs to be lovingly tended to provide us with balance and well-being in our daily lives.
           This February, 35 women gathered in retreat to refresh and maintain our "wells." Various types of well-being were explored, including:
spiritual, emotional, physical, communal, and financial. We discussed ways we excelled at these practices and places we could improve, and how we can support each other in this journey. Out of this, W.O.W. was born. Now we would like to continue the process with all women of the congregation.
           The first event for W.O.W. is the April 8 presentation of
"The Women of Lockerbie" by the Evergreen Players. A champagne dessert and discussion with the cast will follow the play. Other events will be scheduled that enhance areas of well-being, so feel free to suggest ideas. We want to gather for fun and fellowship, too! Thanks to Linda Exner Smith for volunteering to be our coordinator. If you want to join us, please email her at lindaexner@yahoo.com or call her at 720-212-1922.
