SPIRITUAL COMPANIONING
GROUPS
Women at the Well
Fall theme: “Beyond Words: Perspectives & Possibilities”
Our signature program, this eight-part, small group experience helps women become
more aware of God in daily life and live more meaningful lives.
If we look more deeply at words, we see that language is paradox-enhancing but also
limiting our understanding of the eternal. Step deeper into the subtle meanings of
familiar words such as faith, hope, and darkness, and discover new ways to recognize
the presence of the divine among and within us.
