About the Summer study
In Part 2: The Wanderers, we will study the lives of Miriam Deborah, Rahab, Noami and Ruth, discovering how God’s design for womanhood welcomes women from all walks of life. Through their stories, we’ll see God’s faithfulness, grace, and redemption at work—often through imperfect people and unexpected paths.
This study will inspire us to dig deeper into God’s Word, better understand his heart for women, and embrace our role in his incredible plan of redemption.
Cost: There is no fee for the study—just the cost of the book, which you can purchase here.
Note: When registering for morning session, please select the age range of your children and names so we can have the rooms staffed for specific age groups.
Any questions regarding registration? Reach out to bhritney@mountlake.church

Easter at Mountlake Church
Is real hope possible?
Scripture does not offer naive optimism—it proclaims a living hope. A hope grounded in the resurrection of Jesus and alive through his present work among us.
This Easter, we invite you to the empty tomb to rediscover the source of true hope, and hear Christ’s invitation to place our trust in what cannot be shaken, lost, or undone.
We’ll start a new series called “Hope Has A Name,” in which we’ll dive into real questions about how to live out of real hope.
Activities for kids:
Easter is a day of celebration for the whole family. Our kids will participate in age-appropriate activities, crafts, and lessons that engage them creatively and spiritually.
