2024 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY ANNOUNCEMENTHappy National Women's History Month & International Women's Day! 2024 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY ANNOUNCEMENT FROM WomenToday.International, a resource provided by the Women’s Service Team of the International Churches of Christ. ___________________________________________________________________ International Women’s Day will be celebrated all across the world on March 1-10, 2024. We are thrilled to announce the theme for the 2024 International Women's Day celebration for our global fellowship: "Together We Thrive!” This theme is inspired by Ephesians 4:16. And for all our Spanish-speaking ministries across our fellowship we are excited to use the theme, “Juntas Prosperamos!” Efesios 4:16 This powerful theme emphasizes the unity and collaboration among women from all walks of life, recognizing the strength that arises when we work together in faith and love. In the spirit of Ephesians 4:16, which states, “From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work,” our theme reminds us that when we come together, we can achieve remarkable things and further God's mission on Earth. As we prepare for this special day, a Quiet Time series is being created for you that will help to connect us to God and one another! This QT series will be available after the beginning of the year for anyone interested. Imagine women throughout our sisterhood waking up in their homes all around the world and reading these same scriptures together as we get ready for our daily life and the IWD celebrations. It will be like one big virtual hug to and from one another throughout our entire sisterhood. Let us reflect on just how special it is to be in a fellowship that represents a diversity of talents, gifts, and abilities from sisters all over the world. Through prayer, fasting, fellowship, and the shared wisdom of women within our Christian community, we will explore how our unity and collaboration can empower us to thrive, both spiritually and in our daily lives. Join us in celebrating International Women's Day 2024 as we come together under the banner of "Together We Thrive,” embracing the principles of Ephesians 4:16 and igniting a powerful movement of love, faith, and unity. Together, we will shine as a beacon of hope and inspiration for women everywhere, reminding all whom we reach that they too can thrive in the arms of God’s family through His power.

Our Seasoned Singles Ministry Had A Great Time At The MJ Musical!
On February 24th, some of our Seasoned Singles had an incredible time at the Orpheum Theater, where they went to watch The MJ Musical. Initially, we were still determining how many would attend, but our numbers gradually increased from 4 to 8. Something amazing happened when we were given six additional seat tickets for free!! There had been some mix-up with the vendors, and we called to try to straighten it out. They said we could keep the tickets! This opened up more space for other singles to join the fun. More people had wanted to come, but the ticket purchase deadline had already passed. However, because God blessed us with the extra tickets, more of us could go, and the extra blessing was that the additional tickets were right behind our original seating area, so we were all able to sit together for the show. We want to express our gratitude to God for bringing us all together on this unforgettable night! If you're interested in joining our Seasoned Singles group, please email community@sfbayfellowship, and your email will be directed to us so you can connect with our singles ministry. We are excited to see our singles ministry grow! - Diana, Tri-Valley Fellowship Group & Lynn, Peninsula Fellowship Group For more infomation visit:

Sign Up for RevivEE 5.0!
As Brock and Anne go to spend some time with the current RevivEE Team in Romania, we wanted to share an atrticle from DisciplesToday.org inviting others to join the next RevivEE Team. Please see the full article below. If you are interested in getting more information, please send an email to the email below with any questions or for an application. ____________________________ Do you feel called to step out on faith? Have you ever dreamed of being on a mission team in a foreign country? Is it your time to respond like Isaiah and say, “Here am I send me!” Entire countries need to hear the gospel! We need you! We are putting together our fifth multi-national, multi-generational mission team to come to Eastern Europe for 10 months. RevivEE 5.0 will launch on September 1, 2024 and will finish on July 1, 2025. Who should sign up? We are looking for good-hearted, faithful disciples who have a heart to be trained and a desire to spend 10 months letting God use them to change a nation for eternity. Calebs: Empty nesters or mature disciples who are retired, and willing to come and share their wisdom and experience with an Eastern European nation, and help us shepherd the young missionaries. Globe changers: Take a year off from school, take a gap year, or take a year break from your career. Come spend 10 months overseas and get training that will benefit you for the rest of your life! Not sure if the full-time ministry is for you? This is the perfect setting to explore this calling! In our fellowship we call this a “One Year Challenge” – here we call you “Globe Changers” because in 10 months, you can change a corner of the globe! You will help us turn around a church, or plant a church, and you will make friends from all over the world. You will leave behind a legacy that will be remembered with gratitude for generations to come. We are now in Bucharest Romania, where we joined a church of 38 members. As we kick off the new year, we have over 50 people studying the Bible! We are not sure of the destination of 5.0 at this hour, but we know wherever God takes us, we will do our best to reflect Christ and impact eternity.
