Luncheon Registration

Ordinary Women’s group started around 2015 as a gathering for women in Ordinary

Life Sunday class who showed a strong desire for a deeper sense for community than

was possible in the larger group, an opportunity for conversation around current or

controversial topics in a safe environment, and a willingness to engage in volunteer

opportunities.

We continue to meet monthly on the first Thursday of the month, from 12 – 1:30 in the

Jones Building, Room 204. We bring our lunches, have time for conversation and

getting to know one another, then hear from speakers on topics of local interest in our

community and beyond. We offer volunteer opportunities in ongoing outreach missions

and one time events that serve the local community. We have a great time around the

tables. All are welcome!
