New Life Church - Real Woman's Ministry

Relevant  Extension of Authentic  Love

“Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”

- 1 John 3:18

R.E.A.L. Women are women with a heart for God, Our desire is to share the love of Christ with each other and with our community and then out around the world. We want to develop real and sincere friendships with fun and relevant activities that allow opportunities for Christian growth, service, and reaching out to others.

R.E.A.L. Women get together on Friday evenings about once per quarter to connect with each other, share community, study God’s word and participate in outreach activities. Real Women also meet regularly at 8:30 am for times of  prayer and meditation to connect with God.  REAL Women cook together, laugh together, walk together and much more. Come join us and discover real friends and real faith!

If you have any questions, or would like to talk to someone about our Woman’s Ministry please contact our Woman’s Ministry Director, Amy Swanson; aswanson@newlifechurchsb.org

Also, check our Amy’s R.E.A.L  Women blog for updates monthly.
 

F.A.Q’s

What happens at a typical R.E.A.L. Women’s gathering

On Friday evenings once a quarter, we get together for food and fellowship. You can come at 6:30 pm and, if you want to, bring a snack to share. At about 7:00pm we gather at round tables where we sing and worship God, and have a short bible devotion, listen to testimonies and pray. Other activities might include creative arts or community outreach.

Creative Arts:

We use arts and crafts as a way to express our creativity as a way to connect with God. We might paint with watercolors, work with paper collage, or even write poetry!

Community Outreach:

In our community outreach activities, we find special ways to bless the community of Santa Barbara and beyond. We do things like: make teacher appreciation bags, write notes to our military servicemen, make cupcakes for children at Cottage Hospital, and more. Come Join Us at One of our Quarterly Gatherings! We would love to have you.

Does R.E.A.L. Women have any other special events?

Yes! Real Women have three very special annual events each year. We have a Mother’s Day Spring Event in May, a Women’s Christmas brunch in December and our Real Women’s Retreat in September. Anyone can sign up for these events and invite your friends!
