"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. 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.                                            Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 12 NLT

Bible Studies_________________________________

Tuesdays at 1:15 p.m. in Room 208 with Anita Williams.

At our luncheons, you may sign up for a 4-5 week Bible Study entitled "Examine the Evidence  (for those who are new to the Bible)



Our Purpose_________________________________

Mentoring Women
We wish to connect women of all ages to come together for love and support to one another and to build relationships fashioned after Titus 2:3-5

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children. To be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.



Monthly Meetings_____________________________

The first Saturday of every month (unless noted otherwise), we meet to plan and discuss upcoming events. It�s always a great time to enjoy the hospitality of someone new as we gather at a different home each month.
