Pray and Play Days
Pray and Play Days are "mini-retreat" times of 3-4 hours each scheduled 4-6 times per year around the regional church for Disciples women and their friends to come and meet their sisters from nearby communities and spend time praying together and playing together -- as the name says.
Our women's events will all be online events for the foreseeable future.
