Women encouraging women
We’re a vibrant group of Jesus-loving ladies from all walks of life, and various ages and stages. The group plans annual and special events, prepares and delivers Bible studies (in person and on Zoom), hikes together, devours great books together, and prays and creates together...all in the name of our good God.

When the fruit of the Spirit dominates our lives, we cannot help but express it—and part of that fruit is joy (Galatians 5:22-23). God wants us to find such joy and excitement in Him that we cannot contain it.
This year we are planning to bless two local agencies who work to help women in our communities: Sister Jose Women's Center and Eagle's Wings of Grace. We're asking the attendees, if they wish, to bring gently used or new purses or bags that can be filled with travel size personal items. They can bring either or both or plain old cash.
Recurring activities
Here’s a listing of the ongoing women’s activities at Grace and who to contact for more info.
Women’s monthly hikes
If you like to hike, consider joining us on the second Saturday of the month. We hike from October through May to avoid the summer heat.
If you're interested contact Deb Peterson.
Women praying for the world
"This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Return to me and I will return to you.” — Zechariah 1:3
Does your heart break when you see all the terrible things that are happening in the world? Do you wish there was something you could do to help? As much as our hearts are breaking, God’s heart must be breaking even more. Let’s come together to honor God and thank Him for His great love.
The second Tuesday of each month is a time for women to pray for the world. These will be an informal setting, starting with a time of worship followed by prayer, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us. You are free to pray out loud, silently, or to just listen to the prayers of others. This will be a time we can talk to God, turning to Him for hope and help. As we pray, God will open our hearts and eyes to the work He is doing, and bring us a sense of peace that opens our hearts and minds to how he might use us.

Salt & Light Discipleship Group

We read and discuss various portions of Scripture, share individually from our personal devotional times during the week, and spend time in prayer together. Feel free to try out the group for a week or two and see if it’s a format that works well for you. No specific study guide to purchase.
