What do you get when you cross Rachel Ray, Martha Stewart and the Apostle Paul?

 

Women are searching for community, camaraderie and companionship.  They also want to grow and mature in their mothering skills as well as in their spiritual lives.  Apples of Gold fills all of these needs.  It’s not just a mentoring program; it’s not just a cooking class.  It’s a nurturing, intergenerational connection that teaches women how to love their husbands; love their children; and practice submission, hospitality, kindness and purity.  (see Titus 2:3-5)

Mentors are mature believers who reach out to younger women with love, compassion and wisdom from God's Word. They also share their life experiences, and give instruction in such vital skills as cooking and meal planning. This relationship builds a strong bond of love and appreciation between generations.

Younger women, whether single or married, are welcomed and cared for, appreciated and pampered.  They are motivated to be better wives and mothers—whether now or in the future.  As such, Apples of Gold plays a vital role in strengthening the family, encouraging women in their daily walk with Christ, and training them in the practical aspects of homemaking and hospitality.  

Are you a “younger” woman – who hopes to marry someday, is engaged, is already married with children or without?  Our seven week session is designed just for you!  This annual mentoring class offers demonstrations and tips on cooking, lessons and interactive time on topics related to marriage and family living, concluding with a delicious, nutritious, conversation-filled meal.

Our next session dates will be announced later in the year.
