The Secret Place
2021-2022 Women’s Mini-Retreat Series
The Secret Place is a mini retreat ministry for women desiring to grow their prayer life with God. Many times in the gospels we read how Jesus went away to a quiet place to spend time with the Father. How much more do we also need to find that quiet secret place with the Lord in our busy lives? The Secret Place is where you can bring cares of the world into the quiet and listen for God’s still small voice speaking to your heart and leading you forward.
Our plan is to host 4 retreats from 9:00 to 11:30 on a Saturday morning in October, December, February and April. Each retreat will have a time of worship, teaching and quiet time for journaling and reflective listening. Our focus for 2021-2022 will be the Parable of the Sower – growing our prayer life with God by looking at the different types of soil and how our prayer life can change when our hearts are good soil.
Women in the Word
Hungry to grow in faith? Join us as we learn more about the Holy Spirit and the early church through the book of Acts. Women in the Word Bible Study is focused on helping women grow more deeply in their love for Jesus and in their knowledge of the Bible. We plan to meet in person however there is an online group option for those who aren’t comfortable coming together a large group or are unable to meet on Friday mornings. The first class is September 18. Join us Friday mornings 9:30 – 11:30 in the sanctuary. Wear your face mask. Kids in the Word is free child care offered for the children and grandchildren of women attending the class. They will focus on the same lesson while enjoying time to play. Children must be registered in advance to attend. Questions? Contact Holly McFarland by e-mail or at 763.231.2981.

Small Groups
Form meaningful relationships with other believing women who can support and encourage you in your walk with Christ and life situations. We offer groups that speak to women experiencing a certain life phase, interested in numerous pastimes or simply for community with other women.
