Did you experience Women of Faith this year?

 09 Sept WoF 008

It was a Grand New Day at the Honda Center in Anaheim on September 11th & 12th. Among thousands of women (and a few men) about 50 women from Seaside attended the two-day event.

 09 Sept WoF 013

There was music:

09 Sept WoF 019 09 Sept WoF 066

We had lunch:

09 Sept WoF 055 09 Sept WoF 062

And the speakers were amazing:

This little firecracker of a woman called Patsy Clairmont…

09 Sept WoF 015

From “Facts of Life” Lisa Welchel…

09 Sept WoF 030

and funny lady Anita Renfroe…just to name a few.

REFUELED is a quarterly gathering of Seaside Women; the perfect connecting point to take us Beyond Sunday Morning.  There are many women new to our church family and many who have been attending Seaside for years; some are in small groups and some aren’t. 

Women need women, no matter how you cut it – we want to make sure that each woman finds her place here with us and that she feels loved and that she’s a vital part of our family.

It’s our hope that at this REFUELED, every woman will learn more about what’s available in our church to refuel her spirit on any given day. 

 

This is a casual event, perfect for a Saturday morning with the girls.

You are welcome to bring someone along.

And if you want to, bring a treat to share!!

For about two years now, every few months, the women of Seaside Community Church have gathered on Saturday mornings for what we have called Coffee Talk. We have some time of fellowship and worship, we have had speakers, heard testimonies, prepared for retreats and shared ideas for upcoming events.

This summer we introduced REFUELED. After some thought and prayer, we felt that the new name better captured our goal for the time that we have together on these Saturday mornings. Our desire is to bring the feeling of church Beyond Sunday Morning. On July 18th Patti Killian opened up her beautiful home for the first REFUELED.

The lovely hostess, Patti Killian.

There were coffee and some treats, of course.

And a bit of laughter…and some great fellowship.

  

For all of the pictures, please check out our Shutterfly page
