That God is faithful to complete what he started in you!
All creation shouts the goodness of God. From the glorious sunsets that stop us in our tracks to every blade of grass that goes unnoticed. I’m reminded with every flower and bloom the truths of his word that have come into full bloom in my heart. The truths that have sunk deep into the core of who I am cannot be shaken.

Do you have questions for God? Are you curious about Him or even have doubts about Him sometimes? When we ask questions, we open ourselves up to vulnerability and to intimacy. In reading the Bible, we see people asking questions of God and we see God asking questions of those He created. In this six-week 'excursion' with Jesus, Beth Moore will use questions from Scripture to lead us into intimacy with the One who knows us best. We will learn to study God’s Word, to respond to the questions He asks of us, and how to bring our questions to Him. Join women of all ages and stages as we learn to pray to promote intimacy with God and explore questions and answers in Scripture.

I’m mom to five children (including a set of twins) and grandmother to 21 (including a set of quadruplets!). My husband, John, and I have been married 52 years. We live in Falls Church, Virginia, a Washington D.C. suburb where John served as the Senior Pastor of The Falls Church Anglican for 40 years before retirement.
I’ve written 16 books and speak on the subjects of marriage, parenting, faith issues, and women’s issues. My books include And Then I Had Kids: Encouragement for Mothers of Young Children; Raising Kids with Values That Last (with my husband John); and Barbara and Susan’s Guide to the Empty Nest (with my friend Barbara Rainey). My latest books are Cousin Camp, Risky Faith, Becoming Brave Enough to Trust the God who is Bigger Than Your World and the One (Devotional) Book.
I’m a North Carolina Tarheel. I love Monday night football, ACC basketball, shooting hoops with my grandsons, hiking and riding horseback with my husband, running and talking with girlfriends. You are not likely to find me at the mall; I’d rather be at the farm. You won’t find me in the kitchen by choice; I’d rather be outdoors with my golden retriever. My favorite time of the year is June when all my kids and grandkids are together for a week of “cousin and family camp” in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia.

Rain or shine, let's travel this road together in Maclay Gardens. St. Peter's will host this event for women of all ages. Tell the gatekeeper you are with St. Peter's upon entrance to avoid admission fees.
We will gather at the garden entrance at 10:30am and walk together through the spectacular gardens. These are very easy grounds to stroll - baby stroller friendly too! Bring your lunch for a picnic in the Lake Hall Recreation Area. Bring a friend and kiddos!
Come for the walk, stay for the picnic... or join in for either one.
The hills of Maclay Gardens were home to Native Americans for thousands of years. This 1,184-acre state park showcases one man's passion for beauty - the spectacular gardens which are the centerpiece of the park. Alfred Barmore Maclay bought the land in 1923 and created this masterpiece of floral architecture for his family's souther retreat on the rolling hills, overlooking picturesque Lake Hall.
All women of the parish are invited to spend an inspiring morning on the North Lawn with Tamara Gibson. She will give a series of talks on Gary Zimak’s book Give Up Worry for Lent! After each talk, there will be time for prayer and reflection.
Childcare will be provided.
A virtual option is also available for those who cannot participate in person.
Take a break, get some fresh air, and “hike” the 3 mile Lafayette Heritage Trail with the women of St. Peter’s. All ages invited - friends, daughters, mothers, grandmothers!
We will meet at 4200 Heritage Park Blvd, gathering at the picnic tables. The Women’s Ministry Council will be looking for you, and Pam Valentine will lead a devotion mid-way during the break.
Wear good walking/hiking shoes. It’s very easy terrain to enjoy as you walk with others. Trail mix and water will be provided. Bring a snack/lunch to enjoy afterwards.
All women are invited to the next Mary & Martha meeting! We will first meet in the Narthex for socialization and then transition to the Nave of the church at 10:30am to meet Deacon David Marten, our new Youth and Young Adult Minister! A brief business meeting will follow.
This is a great time for mothers and grandmothers of youth to attend!
