As women we feel pulled in multiple directions…the busyness of our schedules, expectations, our own desires for real relationship. Most often our schedules and the expectations of others combine in a way that leaves us no time for meaningful relationships. We feel unprepared for life’s responsibilities and alone in the learning. We have been let down and aren’t certain if we can trust again. We want more than the Sunday morning experience, but we aren’t sure about letting others in to our lives.
Women’s community at Grace Chapel does not want to busy your life. We want to support your ability to invest as a family unit in community. We want to honor your willingness to open up and invest in relationships.
We exist to provide opportunities for:
- women to connect with other women outside their weekly life groups
- women who are new to Grace to begin building relationships
- women who want to invest in a secondary group to grow with other women
Our ultimate desire in these groups is to bring together women of all ages and stages of life to provide opportunities to grow spiritually, to develop deep and lasting relationships, and to exercise God given gifts to reach out to others.
“Ladies Night Out” is a fun social time that meets every other month. In the past ladies have gone out to dinner, experienced ‘80’s bowling, and gone to Comedy Sportz. Contact Andrea Vorvick to hear more specifics about the coming year.
Join us for some girl time on Thursday, May 6 at 6:00pm.
We'll be meeting at Bernadette Tatlock's house (7684 SW Roanoke Dr. South, Wilsonville, 503-476-4106).
Please bring an appetizer to share.
See you there!

The Inheritance with Gayle Fidanzo
starts Thursday, April 1...10:15a
Hi ladies! I'm looking forward to this Thursday morning retreat with Beth Moore and women who want to completely let go of everything that 's been holding them back and grab the inheritance that God has chosen just for them. I hope that this cross-generational day time study will give you the chance to connect with God's Word and with other courageous women from every stage of life, women who want everything God has to give them. Remember, "He's not safe, but he's GOOD!" For some this is a great opportunity while the kids are still in school. Or for mother's of preschoolers who want to attend, I pray that Grandma or a neighbor might be able to spend this time with your child. Of course, women without childcare concerns are encouraged to attend. And if you have a somewhat quiet baby, please feel free to bring him or her along. With the time set at 10:15 to noon, I hope that some women will take the opportunity to go out to lunch together afterward, go for a power walk or leisurely stroll around the charming town of Aurora, or even stay to go swimming when the weather gets warmer. I can't wait to see who God brings together for this exciting and important dive into God's Word and opportunity to build life-changing relationships. Got to get those books ordered, so please contact me soon! (P.S. For those of you who have done Beth Moore studies before, you should know, in this one there's NO HOMEWORK! Seriously!)
