Christian Women's Fellowship (CWF)
Celebrating 92 Years of Faith, Fellowship & Service
Installed during the June Year-End Celebration as they begin another year of faithful leadership and service.
Celebrating Another Year of Ministry
On Saturday, June 13, members of the Christian Women's Fellowship (CWF), along with their guests, gathered to celebrate the conclusion of another wonderful year of ministry and to install the officers who will serve during the 2026–2027 ministry year beginning in September.
Christian Women's Fellowship has faithfully served First Christian Church Terrell for more than nine decades. This year's installation marks the 92nd officer installation since the ministry began in 1934, when Arley Davis served as the first President. Historical yearbooks documenting the ministry's rich legacy are preserved in the church History Room.
All women of the church are warmly invited to attend CWF meetings held on the first Monday of each month at 2:00 PM in the Church Parlor, from September through June. Each gathering includes fellowship, business, Bible study, devotional time, prayer, and updates on service and outreach ministries.
During the installation service, Charlotte Gilmore presented each officer and every member with a small figure of Jesus along with a copy of Christ's charge to His followers, serving as a reminder that every act of service begins with Him.
The ladies also presented their annual Blessing Box offerings. Throughout the year, members collect coins each day as a reminder of God's daily blessings. These offerings are prayerfully dedicated each September and used to support ministries and outreach efforts selected by the new officers.
Why Christian Women's Fellowship?
Christian Women's Fellowship continues because God is still calling women into ministry, service, and discipleship. While the needs of our communities have changed over the years, the mission remains the same—to share Christ's love through faith, compassion, outreach, and fellowship.
Today, those needs may include introducing others to the love of God, feeding the hungry, clothing those in need, offering hope, or simply encouraging women to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ. Christian Women's Fellowship provides opportunities for women to answer that calling together.
Although CWF is no longer the only avenue through which women serve within the Christian Church, it remains its oldest and most enduring ministry for women. As it continues to grow alongside the needs of each generation, Christian Women's Fellowship faithfully carries out its purpose of serving God, supporting the church, and reaching the community with Christ's love.
