Lipstick and Crayons is a program designed for women of all ages and walks of life, with a special focus on mothers. It is our desire to inspire and encourage women in their pursuit of Jesus. We do this through building relationships, hearing from special speakers, and praying together. Childcare is available for all children from infants through sixth grade, provided by caring childcare workers with appropriate clearances.

Come and enjoy fellowship and refreshments with us!

L&C Sessions Fall 2025

 

Fall 2025 Schedule

October 1 - Season Kickoff: Join us for a charcuterie breakfast, fellowship, and another round of “speedfriending” as we catch up on each other’s summers and simply get to know each other better! There will be other games and a devotion as we turn our gaze towards a new season of Lipstick & Crayons. If you’re new to Petra, we hope you will join us!

October 15 - Crocktober & Candle Decorating: It’s October and CROCKTOBER is back! Come with your favorite crockpot dish to share in your crockpot, along with a copy of the recipe. Perhaps you’ll find your new favorite fall dish! We will also have “candle painting,” led by Kirsten Clemmer, as we create a cozy fall décor item for our homes.

November 5 - Baby Shower for Align Pregnancy Services: Leah McKelvey & Petra’s own Erica Allgyer will share about Align Life Ministries’ mission & vision, the services they provide, as well as ways we can support this ministry. We will be collecting supplies to donate to Align Life as well!

November 19 - Decluttering and Gratitude: Professional organizer, Dawnell Yoder, will be sharing on “Clutter Decline by God’s Design” with an emphasis on gratitude & gratefulness. 

December 3 - Lu Ann Wise “Breaking the Superwoman Image”: Many women deal with an inner struggle to ‘do it all’ and ‘do it all well’. We must ask ourselves, like Paul, “Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God?” Jesus came to end the age of self-effort and we entered the age of grace. Lu Ann will explore seven ways to find rest and be a Super Woman of God.

December 17 - Christmas Brunch – Happy birthday, Jesus! Join us for some good food, fun & games! More details to come!

 

 

Childcare

Childcare is provided for all children from infants on up.

Drop-off begins at 9:15 a.m.

Although we provide childcare for infants, you are always welcome to keep your baby with you. We are breastfeeding and bottle friendly!

There are separate rooms available for children 0-12 months, 1 year old, 2 years old, 3 years old, 4 years old, and Kindergarten through sixth grade.

At the entrance to each room is a sign-in sheet. Please sign in your child and fill out a security sticker. One section of the sticker will be placed on your child. The other section is for you to keep. When you pick up your child, the workers will do a security check to make sure the numbers on your stickers match before releasing your child to you.

Our childcare workers have all of the appropriate clearances. If there is a problem with your child, someone will walk your child to the Oasis to find you.

Children will be provided with a light snack during their time together (Animal crackers, goldfish crackers etc.). Please alert your child's leader of any allergy concerns. You may bring an alternative snack if you wish.
