Women
We want every woman at MJMC to make extraordinary connections that bring spiritual growth and relational joy. And women go deeper with God and each other during Bible studies and various other activities planned just for them.
Women's Ministry Retreat
“The Scarlet Thread”
- God’s Grace Through the Entirety of Scripture
- “Scarlet” points to both the sacrifices in Leviticus and Jesus’ sacrifice to atone for our sins. “Thread” signifies that God’s redemptive work and plan through sacrifices is connected throughout all of Scripture.
- Dylin Bellis will make Scripture come alive, relatable and easy-to-understand! No prior Bible knowledge needed – so invite a friend or two to be your guest.
Lodging in beautiful, modern cabins, all meals, activities and fun surprises are included!
Scholarships are available for those in need, email Natalie Wagner.
Register here. Deadline to register is January 30.

Revelation: Eternal King, Everlasting Kingdom
by Jen Wilken
10 sessions
$25
Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible.
Discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God’s great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.

Now and Not Yet: Pressing in When You're Waiting, Wanting, and Restless for More
by Ruth Chou Simons
7 sessions
$14
Too often, we feel disappointed with our “right now”—our life circumstances, our relationships, our lack of progress towards our dreams and goals, our daily grind.
Ruth Chou Simons has a powerful message for you when you’re restless in your current season of life and just waiting—waiting to get beyond the pain, waiting for God to show up, waiting to get to tomorrow—she reminds you that it’s okay to not like the right now we’ve been given, but we don’t have to like it to lean in and grow in the Lord.

SEWING CIRCLE

the world by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).
SOCIAL GATHERINGS
Deepening our love for each other as we spend time together. Various events scheduled throughout the year including a spa night!
Mentoring for younger women or for married couples
