Welcome

 

Women journeying together. . . through life . . . towards Christ.

I will always remember "senior beach week." Five eighteen-year-old girls were bursting free from high school, full of dreams for their summers.  Living fully in the present, little was said about the future unknowns of college, potential careers, and new relationships.  This was a celebration of friendships that had gotten them this far in the journey.

In the evenings, eight of us "invisible chaperone moms" from the various houses and condos, gathered for dinner and companionship.  We reminisced, compared stories, and laughed at the antics of our kids.  Conversations eventually drifted to the transitions we were about to face as we move toward empty nests and new identities.  Some of us face returning to the marketplace; others are learning to navigate life without a spouse or parent.  The inevitability of impending change provided common ground.

Whether mother, daughter, or both, we are all journeying through life.  As women, our lives are characterized by changing "hats" from student, to employee, to various roles as family members, and back again.  We build, nurture, support, sacrifice, and celebrate.  We give life, love, and wings to those we cherish the most.

In the midst of our lives, the ultimate question is what/who are we journeying toward, and who is going with us. When all is said and done, pursuing a growing relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important thing we can do in life. Likewise, our friendships with Christian women are one of our greatest earthly treasures. They are not only His gift to us, but also our partners as we journey through life towards Him.  We invite you to take some time to explore the many opportunities available for you to get involved in connecting, growing, investing, supporting, being supported and making an difference in the lives of women in the name of Christ.
