The Women of Metropolitan are committed to continuing her legacy. We will be making financial donations to several/organizations that support needy women in the community and we are asking for your help in this endeavor. Please designate “Charitable Donations” on your offering envelope. We thank you for your participation in this project

OVERCOMERS SUPPORT MINISTRY The Overcomers ministry is still having conference call meetings and working out problems. Whether it's an Addiction, Divorce or Abuse. If you are in need of having somewhere to talk about issues you may be trying to deal with on your own, we have a group for you. We have discreet and private conversations. What is said in Overcomers, Stays in Overcomers. We meet every Wednesday via conference call at 1-425-436-6302 access code 818334#. If you are in need of a place to talk and not be judged come join us. Men and Women welcome.
