This class is such a blessing to our entire church. Almost daily I am approached by people at WECA who are so excited about this new ministry. The comments are, “This is something we have always needed”, “What and excellent idea”, “We are thrilled to see this ministry here”, “I have always felt this was missing but didn’t know what the answer was,” and sadly so many, “You have no idea how I wish this was around when I first moved here.”

The Pastors are happy, the staff is happy, the congregation is excited, and MOST importantly our class is starting to laugh and smile again. Weeks one and two were filled with stories and tears, week three everyone seemed to be bubbling over with sharing ideas, places to go, things to do and offers to help each other out with their children. One comment I loved was, “When I talked to my mom this week she said, ‘Those ladies have brought some of your sparkle back.’” Fantastic.

Some of the women had “Just moved” to Edmonton, others have been here for a few years and just haven’t settled yet. Or “Let Go”, in Just Moved language. Two class members came to WECA for the very first time on the day of the “Just Moved” announcement and met me at our table in the foyer after service. God’s timing is so cool. One had arrived in town that week while the other had been here for three years and was still “church shopping” with her husband. It amazes me how completely different each person in the class is and how diverse our journeys are. Yet we are already such a tight group who care and love one another so deeply.
