FAITH ON STANDBY: Exploring God’s Compassion through Uncertainty

This year we will be focusing on God's love for us and others through hardships and times of waiting! This will relate not only to our circumstances surrounding personal difficulties and our experiences throughout the pandemic, but there will also be a global element and we will talk a lot about immigrants and refugees nearby and around the world!

Below is the tentative schedule for the week- be sure to check back for updates. The price is only $40 and includes all activities, programs, food, crafts and a special swag bag of treats! Links to sign up and pay are at the bottom.

We hope you can join in on this meaningful journey together as Women of West Market!
