Woman to Woman
Woman to Woman: Getting to Know Our West Hills Sisters
As life pulls us in different directions, it is often hard to connect with other women who are not in our natural circle. It is easy to forget we are not in this race of life alone, but with the full army of God - our sisters in Christ! As women, we need others to encourage, teach and guide us. We need someone we can call with the assurance that they will pray for us or help us through a tough day. Woman to Woman is an effort to help with this dilemma by pairing up women who attend West Hills Community Church.
There are three different levels of Woman to Woman.
Mentoring -
Providing a link to the experience of others, Woman to Woman, will pair women who are walking a few steps apart in life. For example, a mother of preschoolers would be paired with a mother of an elementary age child. A newly married woman would be paired with a woman who has been married less than ten years. When we walk with someone who is a few steps ahead of us, instead of miles, both walkers gain a fresh perspective. The one in front can give tips on what is to come and the one behind can ask freely what’s up the road.
Discipleship –
Giving encouragement while growing spiritually with another sister, this Woman to Woman pairing guarantees you will have at least one sister working with you to grow in your walk with Jesus. You don’t have to know everything to share what you do know! Whether you are looking for someone to do a Bible study, be a prayer partner or just discuss what God is doing in your life with, having a discipleship partner is a good thing!
Friendship -
Sometimes all we need is a friend! If you are new to West Hills, this is a great way to meet women in the church. If you have been at West Hills for a season, this is a great way to meet someone new! We can never have too many friends in our lives. Who is a friend? Someone who makes time in her schedule to see you! You can have coffee together, go shopping, attend church events together or just sit together in church. Friends also do much more for each other; they pray, cry, share and laugh together – doing life together in the most authentic way to share friendship!
Everyone has something to offer to another sister! Everyone has “been there done that” in some stage of life! We encourage you to take this opportunity to share your experiences, stories and skills no matter which level of Woman to Woman you participate in.
Woman to Woman pairs will last for 4-6 months. During that time, you are expected to meet, in person, with your sister at least once a month. After the allotted time, you can choose to stay with your W2W sister (maximum of two rounds), sign up to be paired with another sister, or take a break from the program due to life situations.
