Inspired by the woman at the well in John 4, Women of the Well is a gathering place for mothers and women who thirst for renewal, connection, and deeper faith. Just as Jesus met the Samaritan woman and offered her living water, we come together to draw from that same source- finding refreshment for our spirits through Scripture, shared experience, service, and heartfelt support.
