Welcome to the Koinonia Women’s Ministry page! We’re so glad you’re here!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ll meet at the church building at 6:30 PM each Wednesday (watch the app for any changes to the schedule). If you’re interested in enjoying a meal first, dinner is served at 6:00 PM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koinonia (sounds like Koy-no-NEE-ah) is a Greek word meaning Christian fellowship.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are starting back up with our weekly women’s Bible study, and we would love to have you join us Wednesday evenings for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark your calendars for our next event on Saturday, April 18, 2026.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’re invited to a hear the inspirational story of Jenny Peterson, author of She Walked by Faith, Not by Sight<\/em>, and stay for a salad luncheon afterward. We’ll begin our morning at 10:00 AM with Jenny’s story, followed by a salad lunch and fellowship. The event is free, but an RSVP is needed. The sign up sheet will be available in early March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Jenny…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1976, Jenny Peterson was a normal everyday young mother who lived in De Smet with her husband, Ron and their two young children, 5-year-old Chad and Heather, who was two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sore throat that wasn’t getting better prompted a late-night visit to the Emergency Room. Over the course of the next days and months, Jenny struggles to survive after losing 100% of her skin, being declared legally blind and left addicted to pain medications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenny’s miraculous journey of faith, perseverance and hope over the next 33 years to return her life to what she once knew will inspire you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 18, 2026, you are invited to meet Jenny at Preston Christian Church (Bruce, SD) and hear her inspirational story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A great story of survival, persistence, family and community support and determination. A very inspirational story.” -Dr. Eugene Hoxtell<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
