Rooted to Flourish
Women's Ministry Day Retreat
Saturday, November 8 | 9:00am - 4:00pm
Mainstreet Church
Visit our lobby table by children’s check-in on Sunday morning!
Life is rarely a straight line. We often find ourselves wandering, longing for more, and craving connection. Rooted to Flourish is a one-day retreat for women ages 16 and up that invites you to pause and notice where you're planted, who you're walking with, and how God meets you along the way. Inspired by the story of Moses, we'll explore what it looks like to grow deeper roots of faith and community. Whether faith feels brand new or familiar, this is a space for women of every age and stage to connect, grow, and flourish. Register HERE by October 13th to get the best rate, or go to mainstreetlife.org/womensministry.

SERVE IT UP!
This month we're going to live on mission. It’s a whole month of putting our faith into action! It's not just about talking the talk but walking the walk. We'll be serving our neighbors, lending a hand to those who need it, and sharing Christ's love through the things we do. Want to be a part of it? Join us in helping our neighbors with outdoor fall clean up. Notice that their leaves need to be raked? Do it for them! Maybe their yard needs mowing? Do it for them! We are able to make a big impact in small ways.
We are also looking for people who we can help! Know of a family or individual who is unable to do the needed yard work? Add them to our list of people we can help HERE.
Path to Christmas Volunteer Opportunities
We are in need of volunteers to join the team as we begin to prepare and host our annual "Path to Christmas" - outdoor Live Nativity event! It takes many hands to make this happen, and we would love for you to be part of this incredible event. We’re looking for volunteers to help with all sorts of things, such as: set design/props, set up/tear down, gift bag assemblers, volunteer dinner helpers, and silent actors. We could also use some donations such as wrapped candy, firewood, and fire pits to borrow! Click HERE to let us know how you’d like to help!
