An oil lamp was selected by the PCA for the logo because of its rich imagery.  In order for a kerosene lamp to give light, it must be filled with oil. The believer's life must be filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit.  The wick must ret continually in the oil.  We must rest in Christ and draw life and spiritual strength from His Holy Spirit.  The wick must be regulated and trimmed regularly. Our lives must be daily regulated and trimmed in obedience to God's Word.  The lamp chimney must be kept clean and clear.  Our light shines to the world as we repent of sin and live in whole-hearted obedience to our Savor.

The WIC Ministry of Covenant Presbyterian Church

WIC seeks to glorify God by strengthening our personal walks with Christ and by building relationships within the body of our women through Bible study, prayer and fellowship, enabling us to serve our Lord in the places and relationships where He has placed us.

 

By encouraging and equipping women to know Christ more deeply, to mentor other women, and to share our gifts for the mutual good, the WIC Ministryserves primarily the women of Covenant, but the effects are far-reaching. Husbands and children, co-workers and

neighbors also are ministered to, and God is ultimately glorified. With our Lord’s guidance, we strive to filter allwe do through our Purpose Statement. We want to learn to live biblically as women, no matter what our stage or status in life, and to influence others for Christ

We invite you to contact one of us if you have questions or would like to become more involved. Co-coordinator:  Krista Hogan
