I have only been with the base chapel since September of 2005. After Hurricane Katrina, God guided us up to Warner Robins and then the chapel. The chapel first, then in turn PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel) opened their hearts and their arms toward us in our desperate time of need. I attended my first meeting in November and felt the warmth and friendship from every woman there. When you are new, everyone knows it, but seldom does the love and compassion "ooze" through and the feeling of true welcoming shine. That's what PWOC has meant to me. True friendships, true warmth, and true growth.
One of the main things I love about PWOC is the vast differences in the women who are there. We have women who are active duty, who are young, who are old, who are active duty wives, and retired wives. Almost every culture is represented too.
I am prayerfully considering a position on the executive board of our chapter. The PWOC is military wide, it spans the Air force and Army that I am aware of. The Air force takes the PWOC to a level of programs and retreats along with Bible studies. The Army usually is focused only on the Bible studies.
