A Gift With Immeasurable Value
Dear Sisters in Christ,
Can I share my excitement with you? I spent the morning putting the finishing touches on plans for the MCCW leadership team’s first in-person meeting in nearly two years. Two years is a long time — I can’t wait to see our team again. As I write, the location of the meeting is being kept under wraps because we don’t want to spoil the announcement of our Forum 2022 location, but by the time you read this, you will know that we will be gathering in Tampa in April 2022 for our first post-pandemic Worldwide Forum! Can you see why I am so excited?
These in-person meetings are so important for our team and our ministry. The time together allows us to make great strides on the projects and initiatives that are most pressing. Being on the ground in our Forum host city provides great opportunities for planning and prep work. But most importantly, the time together allows us to grow as a team.
If military life has taught us anything (not to mention the extreme circumstances of the past 18 months), it is that being together is a gift with immeasurable value. This issue of The Well is like a mini-celebration of that theme — togetherness.
You will read more about our in-person meeting and find out what our team accomplished together during our time in Tampa. We’ve included an update about what all the women of MCCW accomplished when we came together to support our co-sponsored seminarians. Our history feature will share the stories of many women who came together to make the Fort Carson CWOC what it is today. And you will see a beautiful ad promoting our next opportunity for ALL of us to gather – Forum 2022 (did I mention it will be in Tampa next April?).
I hope that as our world slowly returns to a more normal footing, you are experiencing the joy of togetherness as well. And I am praying that those reunions will continue until next year when we can all be together at Forum!
Yours in Christ,
Kim Miller
President, 2020-2022
