Rooted to Flourish
Women's Ministry Day Retreat
Saturday, November 8 | 9:00am - 4:00pm
Mainstreet Church
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 this Sunday, November 2nd, or go to mainstreetlife.org/womensministry.

Baptism is an important next step to take ... an outward sign that a change has occurred on the inside of a person. It doesn’t make you a believer but shows that you already believe. If you have reached the point in your journey where you have accepted Christ as your Savior, we hope that you will pray about being baptized. This class is required if you want to participate in the November 26thbaptism.
