Fun, Food and Fellowship as we grow our faith together! We are planning a social hour (beginning at 5:45 in the Fellowship Hall) to enjoy some delicious food, meet up with friends, and make new connections with other women in our community. We will have a wonderful program (beginning at 7pm in the Sanctuary) which includes a time of worship and then a time of teaching by our guest speaker, Jodie Berndt. There may be a few other surprises as well! Doors will open at 5:30pm. While it is a Ladies’ Night Out, no fancy attire is needed! Please dress comfortably. Dress up if you wish but know that business attire/pants/jeans are certainly acceptable.
This event is for all women looking to grow in their faith. It is a multi-generational event, and we anticipate most participants will be approximately age 25 and older. This event is not directed to any specific church denomination. We have invited other local churches in the Hampton Roads area to join us. Help us get the word out! Reach out to your family, friends and neighbors to extend an invitation for them to attend with you!
Early bird pricing is $30 per person from October 1st to November 15th. Regular pricing is $35 per person from November 16th to January 5th.
We recommend purchasing your ticket as soon as possible. We are planning for 300 women to attend. Please invite your family and friends to attend with you! Tickets also make great Christmas presents!
