True gratitude starts with recognizing our great God who loves and provides for us out of His grace and mercy. Fostering a grateful heart brings joy to our lives and those around us. It turns our eyes off ourselves and helps us cherish the time and relationships we have in new ways. Jump in with us this summer as we dig into this topic using scripture as our guide. Discover truths that transform us into women who are genuinely grateful to the Lord and are blessings to each other. Each session will be a stand-alone lesson led by a different teacher with any needed materials provided.
We will meet in the Café from 6:30 – 8 pm each Monday night in July, beginning July 7th. Join us for any or all of the classes as you can. We can’t wait to enjoy this time of fellowship and encouragement with you!
Are you looking for a way to minister to others in our community?
If so, we would love for you to be a part of the Mending Hearts ministry. On the first Wednesday of the month, from September to May, we meet from 9-11am to make pillows for patients who have had open heart surgery at several area hospitals. This is a wonderful opportunity to fellowship with other ladies while serving those in our city.
Sewing is not a requirement! We need help cutting fabric, stuffing pillows and tagging them. If you do sew, we would appreciate you bringing your machine to help with the sewing. Supplies are provided so come as you are.
For more information, contact Courtney Szollosy at cszollosy@doubleoakcc.org.
“I just wanted to thank you for the red heart. Not only did it help with moving and coughing, etc, it was a blessing. To know you had made it special for people like me going through heart surgery. I truly felt surrounded by God’s love.”
In Christ, Clarice
“After undergoing heart surgery at St Vincent’s, I was the recipient of one of your heart pillows. It has meant so much to me and I have relied on it many, many times. Your work is greatly appreciated! I hope I may someday repay you for your efforts.”
Love in Christ, Randy
“My husband David, had triple bypass surgery St Vincents. While we were in the hospital, David was given one of y’alls heart pillows, made with love! We were so thankful to be surrounded with God’s love, with great doctors, nurses and every service at the hospital. The Heart Pillow was a precious gift which we talk with everyone about.”
God Bless You All, David and Teresa
Mentoring relationships provide unique opportunities where women can learn from other women and their life experiences. You may find yourself longing for someone to help you grow in spiritual maturity, to help you study the Bible at a deeper level or help develop your prayer life. You may find yourself in a difficult season experiencing loneliness, grief and loss, wrestling with a difficult life decision, walking through infertility/miscarriage, or difficult relationships. Being paired with a mentor can help provide the Godly wisdom and encouragement you need.
If you have experienced any of these situations and seen how the Lord carried you through and deepened your faith in the storm, the Lord may be calling you to be a mentor.
“Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord asking: Who will I send? Who will go for us? I said: Here I am. Send me.” Isaiah 6:8
We believe our journey with Christ is not defined by the outcomes we achieve, but by the transformation we undergo. Our mission is to empower women to grow in their faith, character, and purpose, embracing the truth about WHO we are becoming in Christ. Through discipleship, fellowship, and service, we strive to cultivate a community where every woman can discover her God-given potential and live out her calling with grace and strength. The goal is becoming more like Jesus so we can teach others to also become more like Jesus. We go sit with the sinners, eat with the tax collectors, heal the sick, feed the hungry, care for the widows and orphans, simply because that’s what Jesus did. When we carry our cross daily, our perspective of our world changes and we begin to see the world as He sees it. How will you answer the Lord’s call?
There are other ways to serve. If you would like to donate tangible items to support ongoing efforts, stay tuned. Needed items will be updated soon.
If you’d like to serve as part of a group at one of our many Give United partner agencies, join us for the next WHO Serve Day!
