Women ministering to women, to know and grow in Christ
All women are invited to become a part of the Women's Ministry at East Swamp as we fellowship and serve together in faith, love, and unity. Our mission is to be women who are committed to a deepening relationship with Christ through diligent prayer and the study of the Scriptures. As a result, we pray to be spiritually mature women, confident in our gifts and courageous in our words, so we can reach out in love to impact our church and community for Christ. There are numerous opportunities available to get involved. Through in-depth Bible studies, heartwarming fellowships, and special events offered throughout the year, you will have meaningful and fulfilling opportunities to enrich your heart, encourage your spirit, and expand your ministry.

Women's Bible Studies
The purpose of our weekly Bible Study groups is to encourage, support, and challenge each other as we walk together through God's word, deepening our relationship with Him and with each other. We offer two Bible Study groups, meeting on Thursday mornings or Thursday nights. Women of all ages are invited to join us; childcare is available for our Thursday morning group. Both groups are also available virtually, via Zoom.
This winter, we are working through Jen Wilkin's Revelation. Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God's great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.
This Bible study runs from the mid-January to the end of March, weather-permitting. While we encourage you to begin with us from the start, you are welcome to join at any time. We hope to see you there!

Yearly Retreats
There is nothing quite so refreshing as getting away to hear a word from God, worship with your sisters, and eat food you didn't have to cook. However, we know that "getting away" is not always easy. That's why we host retreats twice a year - one in the fall, and one in the spring. In the fall, we offer a one-day in-house retreat, in which you join us during the day on Saturday for sessions, meals, worship, and fun activities. Our spring retreat is a weekend spent away from home in a rural setting, with meals and lodging provided, as well as lots of great activities.
This spring's retreat will take place on April 4th-6th, 2025 at Refreshing Mountain Retreat Center in Stevens, PA. More information will be coming soon!
Quilters & Knotters
Whether you are an experienced quilter, or you've never quilted a day in your life and would simply like to fill a few hours with some fun and fellowship, you are welcome to join us on Tuesdays from 9 am to 4 pm as we create quilts and blankets to be sold - all proceeds go to Christmas gifts for our missionaries. Pack your lunch and join the fun! Come when you can and leave when you must.
Manna Ministry
Sometimes, putting food on the table becomes a heavy burden - during times of illness, following a surgery, after welcoming a new baby, etc. This is when Manna Ministry steps in to help. We have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus by taking meals to those within our church family who are walking through such a time. This simple act of giving can make a world of difference to those who receive!
