Exhale is a group for Mothers with children of all ages who want to experience authentic community, mothering support, personal growth and spiritual hope. Wo Exhale is to breathe out intentionally. Our prayer is for moms to be intentional about making time for themselves and to be intentional about being part of a group that will help them grow in their walk of faith and to grow as women, wives and mothers.
Interested? We’d love to hear from you! Please email us at exhale.moms@gmail.com.
The WoW Ministry is a fellowship of women who desire to love and know God through the study of His Holy Word and the fellowship of other women. We offer a supportive place to be real, be transformed, and be in the world as an example of Christ’s love.
Currently they are meeting on Wednesday morning via Zoom and in-person on Thursday evenings. For more information and to sign up please reach out to Jodi Christensen at jodichristensen@comcast.net.

A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans
Strong-willed and independent, Rachel Held Evans couldn’t sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment–a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decides to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible’s instructions for women as literally as possible for a year.
Pursuing a different virtue each month, Evans learns the hard way that her quest for biblical womanhood requires more than a “gentle and quiet spirit” (1 Peter 3:4). It means growing out her hair, making her own clothes, covering her head, obeying her husband, rising before dawn, abstaining from gossip, remaining silent in church, and even camping out in the front yard during her period. With just the right mixture of humor and insight, compassion and incredulity, A Year of Biblical Womanhood is an exercise in scriptural exploration and spiritual contemplation.
FEBRUARY 17 – MARCH 31
Sermon on the Mount
This Lent we will be going back to the best book out there, the bible! Jesus, God with us, was a healer, miracle worker, companion, and also teacher. The Sermon on the Mount was the foundation of Jesus’ teaching. Jesus proclaimed the arrival of the Kingdom of God and invited people to follow him, but what did that even mean? In the Sermon on the Mount, he lays it all out there. Some words are quite clear, others will demand study and discernment.
The Apostles, soaked in the dust from their rabbi, spread this cornerstone teaching throughout the world as they bore witness to the Gospel. The teaching remains fundamental for us today. Together with our bibles, the Holy Spirit, and each other, we will take a deeper look into these treasured words of Christ.
