Friday Women’s Fellowship

Join our Friday Women’s Fellowship, a cherished group that has been thriving for several years. We are a community of "women of a certain age," many of whom are retired, widowed, or empty-nesters. Our gatherings are relaxed and unstructured—no homework, just meaningful conversations and connection. Each week, we dive into various “talking points” such as testimonies, Christian videos and movies, spiritual insights, scripture discussions, and, most importantly, prayer. We have witnessed miraculous answers to our prayers!

We meet every Friday at noon for fellowship and lunch at Firelight Cottage (Mary Zastudil’s house) in Cardington. We warmly invite you to join us and experience the joy of sharing life and faith together. We hope to see you there!
