Prayer Conference 2026
What does it mean to seek God in every stage of life?
Like it or not, things change. Life is full of ups and downs, breakthroughs and setbacks. Sometimes what began as a vibrant faith can slow to a crawl. As disciples of Jesus, we’re invited to seek his presence in every season.
Daughters Christmas
You’re warmly invited to a cozy, joy-filled Christmas gathering for the women of Mountlake Church. Together, we’ll settle in for an evening of worship led by the Daughters Band and a beautiful teaching from Jordan Williams on Exile through the Eyes of Ruth—a tender reminder of God’s nearness in every season.
We’ll share in a festive dessert potluck, so bring along a favorite treat to enjoy together.
Thursday, December 12th, 6–8:30pm

Daughters In The Word: Fall Study
Daughters In The Word: Fall Study
Thursdays, October 9th – November 6th
7:00–8:30 PM | Coffee Shop
We will be studying Isaiah and the book Tethered Trust by Becky Harling. Order here on Amazon.
Everyone needs to purchase their own copy.
We will be digging into the names of Jesus found in the book of Isaiah:
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
This will give us amazing insight into His character and provide a firm tether for when the trials of life unfold. That way, “we can rely on God and relax in His goodness.”
This beautiful passage will lead us right into the Christmas season.
All women are invited to come grow together in our faith and support each other in prayer and community.
