HOMEPAGE
  Women's Society for Christian Service

The Women’s Society for Christian Service (WSCS) is a group of women in the Christian community united in Christian living. The members meet for fellowship and to participate in activities that will strengthen church and community relations. In addition, several fund raisers are planned during the year to raise funds for the various missions that the group supports. A Christmas Bazaar, Quiz night, a muffin tea/fasion show, and concerts are some of the ways that WSCS helps the La Paz community.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
In this New Year. . . . . . .
May the Lord bless you, and keep you;
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you:
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26

The annual Christmas Bazaar was a huge success! We are thankful to God for this result. WSCS would also like to thank everyone in the church and in the community that helped in so many ways; volunteering their time, baking, selling, wrapping, pricing and attending the bazaar. We were able to raise approximately $4,300. All the money from the Christmas Bazaar goes into the WSCS Benevolence fund. Without your help this could not have been possible - thank you again! Maria Inarra, Fundraising Chairwoman
