Merry Maidens Evening

Merry Maidens is a women’s ministry for faith, fellowship, and real conversation. This evening we gather around one table, set on purpose.

Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see — how good God is. Blessed are you who run to Him.

Psalm 34:8 (MSG)

What to bring

In place of a dish, bring one small thing for a shared charcuterie board — and, if you’d like, a scripture that connects to what you’re bringing. A little from each of us becomes a feast. Mention what you’re bringing when you RSVP so the table stays balanced.

This is not required. Your presence is the most important part, and you are welcome just as you are.

A few pairings

A starting point, if you want one. Bring a small amount.

• Bread — John 6:35, Jesus sustains us

• Grapes — John 15:5, connected, we bear fruit

• Cheese — Psalm 34:8, taste and see his goodness

• Honey — Psalm 119:103, his word is sweet

• Olives — Psalm 23:5, anointing and blessing

• Fish — Matthew 4:19, fishers of men

• Chocolate — James 1:17, every good gift

• Nuts and seeds — Genesis 8:22, seedtime and harvest
