Women of Grace

What We Do

The Women of Grace plan monthly events for all the women at Grace. Past events included hiking, movies, luncheons, theatre matinees, trips to the zoo, and boat rides around Lake San Marcos. All women and their friends
are welcome.

Jesus said “wherever two or more are gathered in my name, there I will be also.” We claim that promise. We are grateful to meet together in freedom and peace. We pray for peace for women in other parts of the world who do not have the freedom we enjoy. Help us, Lord, to create an atmosphere of acceptance, assist us as we love and support each other without judgment or criticism. In the Name of Jesus. (Matthew 18:20)
