Rising Up: All-woman event presents strategies for coping with everyday worries

Today’s women hear all too often that they “aren’t enough,” says Cathy Robbs Baker.

“Not pretty enough. Not skinny enough. Not wealthy enough. Not connected enough. Every woman I know has something she is worrying about,” says Baker, director of education at Christ United Methodist Church. “We want to send the message that women are enough because God has ‘fearfully and wonderfully’ made us.”

To spread that message of hope and encouragement, a special nondenominational worship experience has been planned. Baker believes it’s the first service for women, planned and led by women, in the area.

“Women Elevated” will be held Sunday, Oct. 25, at 4 p.m. at Christ United. Its goal is to use praise music, inspirational speakers and drama to show how God can lift up – or elevate – women above the stress of daily life.
