The women’s ministry leadership team met throughout the year and planned a number of events in 2022. We met regularly to pray for the women of LGCC & seek God’s direction for the ministry. Thank you to Jo Brenner, Marti Buckely, Bryn Ewing, & Mary Tyner for their dedication to serving the Ladies of Long Grove Community Church. It’s been a privilege to serve in this ministry with this team.


When women feel loved & appreciated, the people around them receive love and appreciation and it is a gift that keeps on giving. For Valentine’s the ladies loved one another by sending notes of encouragement to the women of our church. A personal note saying. “We miss you” or a call asking, “How can I pray for you?” was our mission of love this winter/spring.

We had a wonderful fall event organized by Lily Grimme. Gather to be Grateful gave the women a chance to share what the Lord’s been doing in our lives this week, this month & this year. We shared a wonderful brunch buffet and spoke words of praise to God as we made a darling fall craft to brighten our homes. Thank you, Lily for a wonderful morning together.

The Christmas Tea & Concert was well attended this December. The ladies arranged a lovely room & the hosts of each table took care with all of the details for their table & guests. We all learned a little bit about one another thanks to a fun ice breaker that was played by all who came. The Bare Voices of Lake Zurich High School under the direction of Nick Juknelis sang wonderful holiday arrangements for us to enjoy. Thank you, Marti, it was a lovely afternoon!

Looking Forward
