Antioch Waltham | 17 Spruce St, Waltham MA
"Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering..." — Isaiah 53:4a
What does it mean for Jesus to bear our pain & suffering? Start Holy Week with an evening devoted to experiencing the power and freedom found in laying our pain at the Cross. Through biblical teaching and communal practices, we will engage in tangible ways of naming our pain and more deeply discovering the meaning of the Cross.

Mom Connection
Mom Connection is a place where moms in every season of motherhood can gather together and encounter the love and presence of God, be refreshed in authentic community, and be encouraged and equipped to pour out for our families and those around us.
~~~~~~~~~~
Wednesdays, 9:30am–11am
On the first and third Wednesdays of the month, we gather at Antioch Waltham to hear from other moms as they share their stories and experiences. Limited childcare is provided on these weeks.
On the second and fourth Wednesdays, we meet at parks or in homes to connect and pray together. We have our kids with us during these meetings.
We also aim to carve out an evening each semester to gather together for fun, connection, and encouragement for those with Wednesday daytime commitments since that time of refill is so valuable for all of us! If you would like to help plan these evening times please reach out to our leadership team and let us know.
