                       The momco

(short for Mom Community)

— where we mobilize moms all over the world to build life-changing community.

We’re convinced that moms are some of the most powerful creatures on the planet. What is the word people use to define powerful things? It is ‘the mother’… the mother of all storms, the mother of all traffic, the mother load. To be a mother is to be a force of nature, but that doesn’t mean it should be done alone. We saved you a seat.

> NO CHILDCARE at our meetings this year

WIDOWS

WILLOWS Ministry

Finding Friendship, Hope, and Encouragement Together

WILLOWS (Women In Loss Loving Other Widows Steadfastly) is a caring community of women who understand the journey of life after the loss of a spouse. We believe no one should walk that path alone.

Through meaningful friendships, shared experiences, prayer, Bible study, laughter, meals, and special outings, we encourage one another and find strength in God's faithfulness. While each woman's story is unique, we discover comfort and hope when we gather with others who truly understand.

Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, you are welcome here. WILLOWS is a place to connect, be encouraged, build lasting friendships, and continue growing in your faith alongside other women who care.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18
