Elizabeth Ministry is an international movement designed to offer hope, help, and healing on the intimate issues of life, loss, and love. Elizabeth Ministry's goal is to defend dignity, protect purity, respect all life, cherish children, encourage families, enrich marriages, and build community. By following the biblical example of Mary and Elizabeth, we visit and share the sacredness of all life. We are blessed to have a chapter here at St Mary Magdalene and are looking for women to share, support and encourage others through a visit (even call or message), cook meals for families celebrating a new baby or mourning a loss, help out at various family events, knit baby blankets, offer prayer support and more!
