"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised."
All of the women are invited to come and relax, refresh and renew your walk with the Lord at our annual Women's Weekend Retreat! This year's retreat is in-house, low cost, and you can sleep in your own bed! We begin Friday night, February 10th with dinner at 6:30 and end on Saturday afternoon at 1:00. The weekend will include three sessions of teaching and worship; some quiet time for you to be alone with the Lord; three delicious meals together; and a fun time of fellowship on Friday night. Kelley Gage and Jane Anderson will be teaching on what it means to be grabbed by God's amazing grace. Bring a friend and come enjoy a little time with the girls! Cost, including meals, is only $28!!

The Women's Ministry of MBCC is committed to encouraging women to love and follow Jesus. It is our goal to raise up a generation of women who seek after God, who know His Word, who seek to serve others, and who desire to finish faithfully.
We have an amazing assortment of small group and large group discipleship opportunities beginning in September. These Bible Studies will not only spur your heart to go deeper with God, but they will also give you a bond to other women in our church. Please come and join us as we dig into the Word of God together. You can register by calling the church office (Jacquie, 802-7070) or by filing out the form at the bottom of this page.
A new ministry which is in the works will be called "Prayer Cells." These will be "cells" of women who would like to gather together once a week or once a month for the purpose of praying for the needs of our church as well as for their families. Look for more information in the coming weeks. If you might be interested in starting a prayer cell, please email Bronwyn Cardwell at bronwyncardwell@gmail.com
