WOMEN MINISTRIES
VISION
The purpose of Women Ministries at Bellingham Covenant is to provide ways for women to connect with one another, to grow in friendships and faith, to serve, and to reach out to the world around us in a variety of ways. And we have fun doing it! Here's just a few of the things we do together:
GARAGE SALE
This is an all-church event held in March or April. Donations are accepted throughout the year and all proceeds go to provide service and help to individuals and various agencies and projects. Many volunteers are needed and it provides a great way of connecting with others in the planning, preparation and completion of the sale. And, it is a lot of fun!
Contact Gaye Godfrey and Gena Gustafson for more information.
WOMEN’S RETREAT
Each fall the North Pacific Conference sponsors a Retreat for the women of the Conference which is held at Cascades Camp located near Yelm, WA. It is a wonderful opportunity to worship, learn, connect, have fun together. More information coming in May and watch for “early bird” signups in the summer. Our Women’s Ministry at BCC provides partial payment of the Retreat fees for those attending from our church.

HOLIDAY BAZAAR—Cancelled due to COVID this year.
This community event is held on the second Saturday of November and features artists and crafters from both the community and from BCC. Many volunteers (both men and women) are needed for this special one-day event. This is an excellent opportunity to open our hearts and doors to welcome our friends, neighbors and community in the name of Christ.
Contact: Gladys Clancy for more information.
EVENING IN DECEMBER
Come and enjoy a Christmas celebration and reflection time on the second Tuesday evening in December. This is a wonderful opportunity to have some delicious dessert, peruse the famous jewelry auction, sing Christmas carols together and consider the wonder of the coming of the Christ Child with story and song.
