Women's Retreat
For the past 28 years, women have gathered at Asilomar to begin the New Year in communion with God and in fellowship with other sisters in Christ. The 2012 Women's Retreat took place January 6-8, 2012; we praise God for a wonderful weekend of rest, play, connection, and growth. Information about the next Women's Retreat will be available in Fall 2012.

Mothers' Council
Mothers' Council is a caring and supportive community for mothers of all ages. We offer a relaxing environment in which to share the joys and challenges of our lives in the context of faith in Jesus Christ. During the school year we meet at First Pres, while our summer calendar is filled with park playdates and other outings.

Dates & Times: Fridays, 9:30-11:45 am
