Ladies, join us Wednesdays in July for a weekly lunchtime fellowship gathering!  

July 2 - Noon - Perkins Community Room

July 9, 16, 23, 30 - Noon - Pizza Villa Community Room

This is a time to visit, reconnect and get to know each other.  Individuals will order and pay for their own lunches. We will be talking about the book "Start With Hello" (And Other Simple Ways to Live As Neighbors).  This gentle, easy read is a United Women in Faith booklist recommendation.  Some books have been pre-ordered and will be available when you sign up.  If you prefer to order your own copy, it is available on Amazon in a variety of formats.  

This is not a bible study, just an opportunity for the women of the church to spend time together.

Please join us whether you are reading the book or not, and join in the conversation.  

Saturday, August 9, 2025 -- 11AM-2:30PM

Roche Park, Vernon Township

Shuttle transportation to the picnic will be provided.

Do you have treasures that you no longer want?  Stone Church is having a Treasure Hunt!

Purchase a table space for $25 and bring your unwanted items to Kingsley Hall on Saturday, August 2, 2025. Your purchase of a table will benefit the church and provide space to sell your treasures. Proceeds from the sale of your items are yours to keep. This event will take place from 10 am to 3pm.
