On June 13, 2018 we celebrated the third anniversary of the start of our devotion.

Fridays

San Fernando room

We gather virtually. We pray virtually. We write.

If you enjoy writing, you are welcome any Friday to share your work and to listen to the inspiring writing of others. Fridays 10:00 am - 12:00 pm, online.

Linda Lowe

New members are welcome anytime to our friendly group.

We explore and practice different types of writing and read our work to one another each week. Some days we do “free writing” for ten minutes on a chosen topic.

Other weeks we read our prepared pieces (up to 500 words) on a designated subject. Our comments on one another’s writing are constructive and honor the deep feelings that are expressed.

We share each other resources about writing , and equally the responsibility for the successful working of the group.

Our topics are not overtly “religious,” but give us an opportunity to express the concerns of our souls. Many consider the experience to be healing. We encourage humor and playfulness; we laugh a lot. This is as much a faith sharing group as it is a writing group. We pray together. We take care of one another.

SEEDS (Sisters ~ Embracing ~ Enlightening ~ Daughters of Faith) is a monthly evening of spirituality for women to meet in fellowship to share the Word of God and grow in faith.

The new year brings a new series for our monthly women's spirituality group...Joyce Rupp's "Boundless Compassion: Creating a Way of Life."

With master teacher Joyce Rupp, we will discover compassion from science, medicine, theology, spirituality, sociology, and psychology, and we will be encouraged to explore personal and professional expressions of compassion and re-energize our ability to offer loving kindness to those around you.
