Beauty from Ashes Widow Group - Isaiah 61:3

This group exists to offer hope, healing, and encouragement for active widows navigating life after loss. Inspired by Isaiah 61:3, we hold fast to the promise that God brings beauty from ashes, joy from mourning, and praise from despair.

We believe that in our deepest sorrow, God draws near. He walks with us, comforts us, and covers us in His love.

Isaiah 61:3 reminds us that grief is not the end of our story. God specializes in redemption. He takes what the world sees as broken and transforms it into something beautiful, purposeful, and radiant with His glory.

We believe that:

  • Through God’s grace and favor, mourning can be replaced with joy.  His abiding presence produces contentment and happiness, transcending outward circumstances.
  • When we bring our sorrows to the foot of the cross, we don’t leave empty—we walk away clothed in praise.
  • Our story can become a testimony, pointing others to Jesus as we display His splendor.
  • God gives strength, stability and righteousness to those who accept his comfort and restoration.  He is the source of our growth and healing.

In this group, we speak of hope—boldly and joyfully. We celebrate the crown that replace ashes, the garments of praise that tell the story of healing, and the God who walks with us every step of the way.

You are not alone. There is still beauty. There is still purpose. There is still praise.

Ages range from 28-60.  We are Christ centered and active. Starting in 2026, we will be doing 3 local outreach projects to help the group members stay outwardly focused. Contact Shae at  or 918.640.5649.
