Womenarians Sign-Ups & The Great Rise House Plumbing Debacle
News from Rise as we head into the fall
We’re going to get right to it: we need new pipes. We have unfortunately learned (via cracks in the wall) that the Rise House is in need of a big repair by way of a tunnel beneath the house’s foundation in order to install new plumbing. This undertaking clocks in at just over $18k. So far we’ve raise nearly $6k of that total, but we still have a ways to go. Can you chip in for this vital project?
We want women attending seminary to feel seen, valued, supported, and empowered as they pursue God’s call on their life. Our Womenarians program creates shared spaces for women to support each other in this setting. If you are a current seminary student who would like guidance or a seminary graduate interested in providing mentorship, please register using the button below! Got questions? Email us and we’ll happily help you out.
We’re planning our schedule for the fall, and wanted to give you a heads up that we’ll be hosting a group at the Rise House for the Evolving Faith Conference on October 14-15th. Keep an eye out on our social media channels for information as we finalize plans.
The Women of Rise
We love connecting women — the very people whose thriving motivates our work. Each month, we’ll wrap up the newsletter by introducing you to some members of the Rise community.
