Women's Tea

By Angel Tooley

What started as two women sharing their discontentment for women’s rights over a cup of tea in 1848, quickly turned into a larger group of women who shared similar stories of suffering. Together, they envisioned equality, started the American women’s movement and they did it all with cups of tea in their hand.

Although the women’s tea held at Believers Church on February 22, 2025 was not about women’s rights, it told stories of women’s suffering, their courage, their boldness and God's vision for the future of His people. This time spent in fellowship with like minded women also acknowledged Jesus’ suffering on the cross for each and every one of us as well as some of the women mentioned in the Bible.

The Women’s Ministry hosted a wonderful tea that truly embodied the meaning of fellowship. More than just a social gathering, it captured the essence of community, unity, and shared faith among believers.

What a joy it was to come together as daughters and sisters in Christ in a place we love to worship. The beautifully decorated tables—each with its own unique design and story—along with the delicious food and warm atmosphere, did not go unnoticed. Bravo to the Women’s Ministry and all who contributed. I can’t wait until next year!
