Widows & More is a ministry created to uplift, encourage, and connect women who find themselves walking through life alone—whether through widowhood, divorce, separation, singleness, or any season of transition. Though the name highlights widows, the heart of this ministry is much broader. It is a welcoming, joy‑filled space for all women who are navigating life without a partner, offering friendship, hope, and a renewed sense of belonging.
Many women carry their struggles quietly, unsure where to turn or how to rebuild community. Widows & More provides a warm, safe environment where women can laugh again, share openly, and feel seen. Every meeting is designed to remind each woman that she matters, her story matters, and her future still holds purpose and joy.
Churches that choose to sponsor a Widows & More meeting quickly discover how meaningful and impactful this ministry can be. Sponsorship is simple and straightforward. Rhonda Nord handles all communication and promotion—from invitations to outreach to answering questions from attendees. The sponsoring church’s role is simply to provide:
-
A location
-
Tables set up and decorated for up to 50 ladies
-
A lunch for attendees
Everything else—from planning to communication to program flow—is taken care of.
Meeting days are truly special. Women arrive at 10:45 a.m. on a designated Saturday, sign in, pick up their nametag, and find a seat among new and familiar friends. Each gathering includes door prizes, an inspiring guest speaker, uplifting music, and a delicious lunch shared around the table. By 1 p.m., hearts are lighter, friendships have formed, and women leave encouraged and strengthened.
The vision for Widows & More is bold and beautiful: to see this ministry spread across all of North Carolina, reaching women in every community who need a place to belong. Whether your church wants to host a meeting or simply send ladies to attend one, your involvement can make a life‑changing difference.
