Women''s Group at Emmanuel Church at Oil Well Road
New Women's Group Forming
September 13 | 11:15 AM
Emmanuel Church Pavilion at Oil Well Road
A new women's group is forming, and we'd love for you to be part of it! Beginning September 13, women will gather on the second Sunday of each month for fellowship, conversation, and faith-building.
We'll begin each gathering by discussing the Sunday sermon and sharing thoughts and insights together. As the group grows, we hope the conversation will naturally lead to other topics and opportunities for deeper connection.
Over time, there may also be opportunities to form smaller groups based on different seasons of life—such as moms with young children, working women, or retirees—allowing women to connect with others who share similar experiences and interests.
Come as you are, bring your thoughts and questions, and help us shape this new community of women at Emmanuel. All women are welcome!
Connect Through Faith
Join us each Thursday at 6:30 PM under the pavilion at Oil Well Road as we grow in faith and community together in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
