Women's Retreat 2025

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

~ Colossians 3:12-13

Because we are chosen, because we are holy and because we are beloved, we can put on compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness and patience. 

Our retreat speaker led us through the weekend of thinking on these things and making steps in our own hearts to be who God has made us to be. Cindy Aufrance has a heart for ministry with women and for helping hurting

women and we were so encouraged by the Truth she brought to our ladies at retreat.

We had 208 women at retreat. 33 Friends churches were represented, and 16 women were from other denominations. We raised over $6500! What a huge blessing…that money will go toward EFM missionaries. We

will let you know where we send your money.

Thanks to everyone who brought things to bid on and who did the bidding/buying! The biggest thing about retreat is that you

came, you showed up. 

SAVE THE DATE!

September 18-20, 2026

Prayer Luncheon

The Friends Women Prayer Luncheon was held Saturday July 12 during Friends  MinistryConference. Because it was so very close to Independence Day, the décor was Americana with lunch favors of bandanas and coffee mugs. We enjoyed a delicious light lunch – a grazing board - prepared by the campus cafeteria.

Forty women gathered to eat, visit and pray. DeAnna Linville, President of Friends Women Fellowship led us in guided prayer using Psalms 27 for our EFM missionaries. We consider it an honor and privilege to pray together for these precious people.

Run for Missions

Friends Women Run For Missions
November 8, 2025

Run for Missions this year on November 8th was nothing short of incredible. It was a beautiful picture of God’s people coming together, shoulder to shoulder, to help keep the story of Jesus moving all around the world. Every mile, every handoff, every tired step pointed back to one thing: we are better together when we’re serving Christ. - Madilyn McDonald | Rose Hill Friends Church. Read more of Madilyn’s experience here.

Friends Women have participated in the 100 mile fundraising run for years. It is our way of supporting those in the mission field as well as strengthen our community of believers.

This year’s run raised $13,000 that was given to help support GLLT. Learn more about this important mission here.

Run for Missions 2026 is scheduled for November 14. We want even more people to join us!

We will need Drivers, Runners and Walkers, and anyone else who wants to participate in anyway! There truly is a place for everyone. Get those running or walking shoes on and start practicing now. This mission is so rewarding, and you’ll be part of something that makes a real impact.

If you can't be there, join us in your own community with a mini event. And please, everyone surround us with prayer!
