Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple braided cord is not easily broken."

Women woven together through Christ to encourage one another, offer acceptance, and honor the spirit filled life. 
Women Connected Meeting Women Connected meets every third Thursday of the month - anyone is invited to meet as they discuss projects and future events.

Ladies monthly book club

Every Third Monday of the Month at 10:30 am, ladies gather together and discuss a book selected the month earlier.  Watch here for the next months book and plan now to join us!  
Join others in October as we discuss the book - Mrs. Sherlock Holmes by Brad Ricca.  If you would like to check out a book, Misi Catehas some copies available from the Library.  Contact the church office for more information.

Mrs. Sherlock Holmes tells the true story of Mrs. Grace Humiston, the detective and lawyer who turned her back on New York society life to become one of the nation's greatest crime fighters during an era when women weren't even allowed to vote. After graduating from N.Y.U. law school, Grace opened a legal clinic in the city for low-income immigrant clients, and quickly established a reputation as a fierce, but fair lawyer who was always on the side of the disenfranchised.

reflecting on Women's retreat 2024 




We had a wonderful time at Women's Retreat '24.  Unburdened was the theme.  Pastor Valerie White shared some amazing thoughts on ways to "unburden" our lives.  

We hope you will join us next year!  Lazy F Ranch was a beautiful setting with a lot of options including:  Archery, Hikes, Crafts, Quiet time by the creek, laughter around the firepit and so much  more!  

Thank you to the ladies that planned the weekend!  

Upcoming activities:



Relax around the fire






Ladies...Let’s gather together and relax around the fire pit at the home of Pat & Fred Waunch.  The excitement will start at 6:30 pm.  Meet at the church at 6:00 pm to carpool.  Bring your own beverage and a snack to share, if you’d like.  Let’s enjoy time together as we soak in the crisp Fall air around the campfire. Contact the office for the address/directions to the event location.
