More Than Events — Opportunities for Connection & Care
At Village of Grace, our special events are designed to do more than simply create fun experiences. They are intentional opportunities to build relationships, strengthen community, and remind single mothers and their families that they are seen, valued, and deeply cared for.
Many moms walk into Village of Grace feeling isolated or unsure if they belong. Our events create welcoming spaces where new single moms can connect with other women who understand the challenges of parenting alone, while also allowing families already connected to the ministry to receive encouragement, practical support, and moments of rest and joy.
These gatherings help transform strangers into friends and friends into a true village.

Our Regular Rhythm
​Village of Grace gathers twice each month (generally), September through May, creating a consistent rhythm of connection, encouragement, and growth for moms parenting without the support of a spouse.​
​
Location:
Living Gospel Church
302 W Walnut St
Nappanee, IN 46550
​5:30pm - Family dinner
6:15pm - Kids go to play with childcare volunteers
End by 7:00pm
​
Each gathering begins around the table with a shared meal. From there, our evenings include Biblical study, meaningful conversation, practical topics, prayer, activities, and simply time to connect and be known. Childcare is provided, giving moms space to participate, build friendships, and be refreshed.
​​
​
While each gathering may look a little different, the purpose remains the same: to create a place where women can forge genuine relationships, find encouragement for the realities of life and motherhood, grow in their faith, and build a village of people they can walk through life with.
​
Throughout the year, this regular rhythm also makes room for special events, family activities, celebrations, and opportunities to simply have fun together. Village of Grace is about more than attending a gathering—it is about building a community that continues beyond it.
