Edgebrook Covenant Church - Edgebrook Covenant Church offers a wide variety of ministries especially for women which provide a wonderful time to meet new friends, fellowship together, and delve into issues unique to women of all ages.  Check out our list below to see where your interests and desires can best be met!

Women's Bible Study
Confused by sometimes obscure Scripture passages, yet wanting to grow spiritually? Looking for closer relationships with other women? Join us on Wednesday mornings at 9:45 AM in the Anderson Room for an inter-generational women's Bible study and fellowship time.

We meet every Thursday at 9:45 AM in the Anderson Room at church for coffee and snacks, then at 10:15 AM, we pray together and dig into the Bible. For more information, contact Peg Kingsley at 773-777-4189 or Doris Alhstedt at 847-673-4774.

Women’s Small Group Bible Study
Edgebrook Covenant has a very active Women’s Small Group, which meets for fellowship, Bible study, spiritual refreshment, and prayer. Our first meeting will be on Monday, September 8, 2008.  This year we will be using Beth Moore's "Stepping UP: A Journey in the Psalms of Ascent" study.

Our group meets on the second and fourth Monday evenings of the month at facilitator Chris Pokorny’s home at 6357 N. Leoti Ave.  We start with a coffee hour for socializing at 6:30 PM (you can join in at any time!)and start our Bible study at 7:30 PM.  After we watch the video study together (which lasts about an hour), we have a time of   discussion of what we’ve learned, followed by prayer time together.  Come join us for this  spiritual adventure — you won’t regret it!  All women of all ages are welcome — all that’s needed is a desire to get closer to God!  Bring your friends! Questions?  See Chris Pokorny or give her a call at 773-594-0541 or drop her an email at clpokorny@aol.com  We look forward to seeing you there!

Crafty Angels
Edgebrook Covenant has a “crafty” ministry — crocheting, knitting, and sewing to provide hats, scarves, mittens, blankets, and baby clothing for needy families served by Swedish Covenant Hospital, Cornerstone Community Outreach, the Orphan Foundation of America, Afghans for Afghans, and Project Dulaan.  

The Crafty Angels get together every other month on a Saturday morning for fellowship, fun, and sharing of skills.  This intergenerational group of women (from their 20s to 80s) created over 3,000 items for families last year, and this year we plan to do even more!  For more information, contact Chris Pokorny at 773-594-0541.

Covenant Women Ministries
We affirm and recognize the unique role women play in advancing God's Kingdom and are committed to advancing God's kingdom as we "consider how we can spur one another on to love and good deeds" (Hebrews 10:25).  Here at Edgebrook Covenant, we are involved with Covenant Women Ministries at the local, regional, and national levels.

Locally, we meet several times each year for fellowship and spiritual renewal, and do an annual charity project for the North Park Friendship Center.  

Regionally, we participate in annual meetings, spiritual retreats, and fundraising projects — such as this year’s “Lights and Locks for Leland House,” a local shelter for abused women and their children.  

Nationally, we support annual fundraising efforts, such as this year’s project “Our Next Step” — which is focused on equipping female graduates of Russian orphanages spiritually, educationally, and financially to function on their own.

All women are welcome – come join us for fellowship and spiritual renewal!  For more information on Covenant Women, please  contact Barbara Agnello at 847-692-3726.
