Women’s Council
It is with bittersweet sentiment that Adult Family Ministries (AFM) announces the departure of Paula Avery from the Women’s Council at Hoffmantown Church. Paula served with unwavering dedication and diligence, first as a member of the Women’s Council for two years, and subsequently as Chairperson for an additional two years. Having successfully completed four years of exemplary service, she will now be stepping down from her role.
We are pleased to announce that Kay Chase will assume the position of Chairperson of the Women’s Council, effective January 2025. Mrs. Chase has been a member of the Women’s Council for almost a year and has brought a wealth of compassion and experience to the Women’s Ministry.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Paula for her selfless service to Hoffmantown Church. We also invite the congregation to warmly welcome Kay Chase, supporting her through prayer and open hearts.
In Christ’s Love,
Pastor Gregory
