Women Gathering

Encouraging women of all ages, with a heart for moms.

Come and enjoy fellowship & refreshments with us!

Women Gathering (formerly Lipstick and Crayons) is a gathering for women of all ages and walks of life. Our desire is to inspire and encourage women to deepen their relationship with Jesus while building authentic relationships with one another. We do this by spending time in God's Word, praying for one another, and, of course, having a great time together!

No registration is necessary, just show up! Childcare is available for children from infancy through sixth grade and is provided by caring, fully cleared childcare workers.

Location: Oasis at Petra Church

When: First & third Wednesdays, 9:15 AM from October to May

Team Members: Danae Jensen, Allison Vandersall, Becky Blimline, Elisa Reinford, Laura Moore, & Carina Sauder

Childcare

Provided for all children from infants on up.

Drop-off begins at 9:15 AM. 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. Children will be provided with a light snack during their time together (Animal crackers, goldfish crackers, etc.). Please alert your child's leader to any allergy concerns. You can bring an alternative snack if you'd like. 

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 childcare 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.
