Women's History Month
March is Women’s History Month. It’s a time to pause and celebrate the contributions women have made and recognize their specific achievements over the course of U.S. history. Women’s history month started as Women’s History week in 1978. It has since become a month-long, national celebration of the achievements, influences and the ongoing impact of women.
This month, we recognize faithful women such as Lucy Farrow and Jennie Evans Seymour, prominent women of the Azusa street revivals; Amy Carmichael, a missionary dedicated to saving girls from exploitation; Dorothy Day, a Chicago-born journalist and advocate for the poor; and Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who calculated trajectories for NASA missions.
From the Old Testament to the New Testament to today, we celebrate and recognize the vital role women play in God’s mission by pouring life into churches, communities, schools, and the world at large.
In the U.S. church, women make up the highest numbers of those attending, praying, and reading and believing the Bible. Studies show that they are the primary models of faith in the household, meaning it’s the women who bring the kids to church and model faith at home.
At Calvary, we believe that all humans are created in the image of God and that women reflect specific and unique facets of our Creator. Romans 8:29 says that Jesus was the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. That means we are all brothers and sisters, and every woman above (and those who follow in their footsteps) fulfills her purpose within God’s mission.
