Women's Fellowship
Some women were with him: Mary, called Magdalene, and Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their resources. - Luke 8:2-3
Our Women's Fellowship enjoys being community, building community, learning new things, and having a lot of fun along the Way. Interested? Contact Regina Oliver, who leads this faithful crew, if you are interested in learning more. The Fellowship meets the first Wednesday of the month, for lunch, September through May, then goes on a road trip for a meeting in June, and has a summer meeting in August to plan for their year ahead.
