As part of the overall "Women For Missions" (WFM) movement in the Free Church of Scotland congregations like our own have a local WFM group.
The WFM aims to support the work of mission particularly the Free Church's mission work overseas in Peru, Colombia, South Africa and India, by promoting the various facets of the work and by raising funds.
Each year the main WFM committee decide on a project overseas that requires financial aid and this is then highlighted throughout the church so that funds can be raised during the course of the year. Garrabost WFM has contributed over £1,000.00 each year towards the projects.
Meetings are held on a Tuesday evening, most months, in the church hall at Garrabost Main Road and School Road buildings as well as at the Garrabost manse. Meetings involve a variety of activities, ranging from cooking, decorating and tapestry demonstrations to missionary presentations. Every meeting has a bring-and-buy stall from which most of the funds are generated.
Congregational Meals, such as Soup & Pudding Lunches and Supper Evenings are also arranged from time to time and donations given on entrance at these events go towards Mission funds. See the WFM page
