Women’s Fellowship |
HIS VIEW is a Christian talk show by women for women
discussing real issues, seeking real answers God’s
Way. On the fourth Saturday of each month (see
calendar) women from all over Houston gather at First
Metropolitan Church to talk, listen and be heard on real
life issues.
Led by Lady O, a diverse panel, and special guest, women
are led to identify and address issues. We are
transparent with our mistakes, emotions and needs. Women
leave with answers, resources, peace, and directions
from HIS VIEW (God’s Way). They also make
new friends and receive surprises and free gifts.
It’s a fun time, but a fruitful time because
when we know better, we do better.
