You’re Invited: A Journey Through the Stories of Women in the Word!!!

Dear Friends,

We are excited to invite you to a four-week Bible study series focused on Women of the Word. During this time together, we’ll encounter remarkable women from Scripture whose courage, wisdom, and faith continue to speak powerfully into our lives today. Their stories remind us that God’s call and presence show up in the everyday moments of women’s lives, then and now.

What makes this study truly special is that we’ll gather in a new setting each week, creating space to experience different communities and voices. Each session will be led by a different female minister, each bringing her own insights and reflections on the women we’ll meet in the Bible.

We’ll gather in Soul Food from 6:00–8:00 p.m. Beginning with a light meal, we’ll share in conversation and community before diving into the lesson. Each session stands on its own, so whether you can come to one, two, or all four, we would be honored to have you.

Here’s our schedule:

• August 11 – Martin UMC – Soul Food
• Rev. Faiana Prescott-Funaki
• August 18 – St. Paul’s UMC & Ash Lane UMC
• Rev. Katie Newkirk & Linda Lewis
• August 25 – FUMC Hurst
• Rev. Sarah Garza
• September 8 – FUMC Colleyville
• Rev. Anne-Marie Berg

There’s no cost to attend, and we are glad to offer nursery care and carpooling upon request.

To help us plan, please register by August 4 using the link below. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Pastor Faiana Prescott-Funaki.

Come, be renewed by the stories of our sisters in faith. We can’t wait to journey with you.

Martin UMC and FUMC Colleyville are hosting a women’s retreat full of worship, fellowship, and friendship. Rev. Stacey Piyakhun, Director of Multiplication with the Horizon Texas Conference, will lead us through powerful sessions on the gift of friendship—how it refreshes the soul, strengthens our walk with Christ, and deepens our bonds in faith 

We’ll gather in the evening on Friday, September 12 at Martin UMC and come back on Saturday September 13 at FUMC Colleyville for inspiring music, workshops to choose from, and plenty of sweet treats to keep the joy overflowing. 

The cost of the retreat is $60 per person and includes dinner Friday, plus breakfast and lunch Saturday. Don’t let cost be a barrier to attending—just request a scholarship when you sign up.
