      Sisters in Season      

Sisters in Season is a widows' ministry offering encouragement, comfort, and empathy to women navigating life after the loss of a husband. We support women of all ages in their time of need and seek to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support. We hope women will rediscover the compassion, joy, and healing God can bring through Christian fellowship.

We gather monthly for meetings that include guest speakers, demonstrations, informative presentations, and off-campus day trips, offering widows encouragement, practical resources, and meaningful fellowship.

Whether your loss is recent or occurred years ago, you are welcome to join us as we journey through life together as Sisters in Season.

Finding God's Faithfulness in the Ashes, the Ordinary, and the Unknown 

Breakout Sessions 

 Evelyn Addo | "Effective Support for People in Need in Our Church and Neighborhoods"
In this session, Evelyn will address a biblical call to compassion with a teaching and testimony message that combines biblical instruction with personal reflection. 

Renae Adelsberger | "Clinging to 'Above and Beyond' in the Face of the Impossible"
She came at 16 months old and left at six and a half years old. We will look at practical ways our family used Scripture, hymns, and prayers during our final weeks with our baby girl as our adoption attempt was overturned. You will leave this session with a challenge to anchor your children's faith, widen your view of the Holy Spirit at work, and hear practical ways to (and not to!) encourage each other when God continues to answer "no." 
 
Vernetta Anderson | "The Lens of His Faithfulness"
Realizing she is the same age as "old people," Vernetta wants to share about life experiences that can only be explained or understood by looking through the lens of God's faithfulness. We will use Psalm 139 to frame our time together. "You will hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me." 
 
Mary Jane Bassett | "Studying the Bible for Yourself and Studying to Teach Others"
We will consider questions to ask yourself concerning your personal Bible study. Primarily, we will consider how to study and how to prepare a lesson for ladies with varying levels of Bible knowledge, some of whom may be non-believers. 
 
Melanie Hudson | “My Transplant Journey, Seeing God’s Glory”
Melanie will share the things that God has taught her during her trial and about His overflowing provision for her. In this session, hear about how God has answered her prayers and given Melanie abundant life for this particular time. “Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed thy hand hath provided, Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.” 

Linda Moore | "God's Faithfulness in the Seasons of Life”
Linda will share her personal testimony of God's faithfulness in the different seasons of her life. There will be a small group reflection on scripture passages and sharing of experiences.
