The Village Square

Because life is better when we do it together.

There is something powerful about hearing another woman say "me too." The Square is being built as the place where women can learn from one another, pray for one another, and grow together.

Before it opens, this is how we’ll treat one another here: our community guidelines.

What's coming

A place to gather

Conversations

Somewhere to ask the question you don't want to post on Facebook.

Prayer requests

Bring what's heavy. Other women will carry it with you.

Challenges

Small, seasonal, done together rather than alone.

Expert Q&As

Qualified professionals answering real questions from the Village.

Local meetups

Because a screen is not the same as a kitchen table.

Retreats

Further down the road — a weekend that belongs to you.

Sunday Letters

A Sunday Letter from the Village

A quiet note for your Sunday — something for your faith, your heart, your home, or your health. No pressure. No noise. Just encouragement from our Village to yours.

One thoughtful email. Unsubscribe anytime. Your address is never sold or shared.

A note on community: when discussions open, they will reflect the experiences and opinions of individual members and are not medical or professional advice. Fruitful Village does not verify or endorse every statement made by community members. Please consult an appropriately qualified professional for individualized health, mental health, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Community Guidelines will be published before any interactive functionality launches.

The other door

The Gate

Nobody hands you the manual.

The fathers' side of this house. Written for him, in his language — so you can send him something rather than summarise it.

The Village

You don't have to do motherhood alone.

Lissa's side of this house, and where most of it began. If she sent you here, this is what she has been reading.
