The Dead Tree of Christmas Past
There’s nothing like the family hunt for the perfect Christmas tree.
You know the drill.
Mom and Dad load everyone up in the SUV, drive out to a local Christmas tree farm, and turn the gang loose. Fully garbed in knit hats, scarves, and crocheted mittens they traipse across frozen (or not so frozen) tundra in search of the ideal tree, the definition of which is as varied as:
What do you want for Christmas?
And then the hollering begins from every corner of the tree lot.
Women’s Weekend Recap
Women’s Weekend 2025 was a time of encouragement - full of deep conversations, yummy food, fun crafts, and amazing teaching and worship. It was such a joy to spend the weekend with you all and I wanted to share a few takeaways from our time together.
Women’s Weekend Retreat Speaker - Mary Henderson
This year, our speaker is Mary Henderson! Mary is passionate about helping people to grow strong and deep in their relationship with God. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. She has worked alongside her husband John for more than 40 years with Cru, an international, non-profit Christian organization.
Senior Saint Stories - Myrna Mason
The Lord continues to teach and encourage me through meeting with these wonderful Senior Saints’ ladies. For many years, my family had Thanksgiving at John and Kari Mason’s house but I don’t remember Myrna Mason’s and my paths ever crossing. I’m very thankful I had the privilege of sitting down with her now.
Senior Saint Stories - Karen Hall
Perhaps you’re like me and you’ve gone to Southwest for a while; you pass people in the hallways on Sunday mornings, giving a smile and a wave to someone that you’re genuinely happy to see, but you haven’t had more than a handful of conversations with them.
Women in Prayer
Prayer is an important part of every believer’s life and vital to our relationship with the Lord. Women in Prayer was developed by Pat Cleveland and Karen Adams as a way to bring together the women of SWBIBLE to pray for and with each other. We reached out to both Karen and Pat and asked them to answer some questions about prayer.
SWWOMEN’s Bible Study - A New Format!
I am excited to announce that this year we will be changing the format for Women’s Bible Study, and below I am answering a few questions about what that will look like for us come January.
SWWOMEN’s Retreat 2023 Reflections
A few weeks ago, we gathered together for the SWWOMEN’s Retreat and the title was “Unashamed: Living as Ambassadors for Christ.” It was an amazing weekend full of spending time with one another, learning more about how much God loves us, and being filled up spiritually and relationally.
