The
Ormskirk (UK) chapter of Aglow started in November 1997. We meet once a
month for prayer and once a month for our 'Meeting'. The meeting is
simply a relaxing evening of conversation around a buffet, followed by
praise & worship (singing about and to God) and a guest speaker.
Ladies who would like to come on their own (i.e. without a friend, or
being invited) need not feel anxious. Everyone mixes informally and
newcomers are made very welcome (without feeling that they are
surrounded by a pack of vultures!).
Life
can be hard. We are not making any glib promises or declarations. We are
all from different backgrounds, cultures and denominations - and don't
always agree about everything. The common denominator is our love of
Jesus Christ. If you come along to one of our meetings, we hope we will
be able to show His love for you.
If
you would like to attend a meeting but feel you need to know more,
please contact us by telephone or e-mail and we will try to answer any
questions you have.
Our
meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of each month at:
Church House, Ormskirk
Time:
7:30 - 10:30 (approx)
Cost
of supper: £4.50 (buffet)
Each
chapter of Aglow is looked after by a Board of ladies, assisted by male
advisors.
