About
All women are welcome to attend this fall conference hosted by Women of Redeemer! The theme; Vindicating the Vixens, will focus on rethinking the sexualized, vilified, and marginalized women of the Bible. Pulling from the book with the same title, our hope is to present a fresh look at the stories we all know. We will hear from several speakers, experience moving worship, participate in soul prayer stations all on the campus of Redeemer Covenant Church in Orangevale. Registration opens September 1st.

soul stations
In world full of "busy", "go", "you must do more" - it can be dreadfully hard to find stillness, rest, and silence - especially as women. And yet it is so clearly what God desires for us. We see it over and over again throughout scripture…God desires for us to find rest in Him.
That is the vision for Soul Stations. It is a retreat in the midst of the busyness. For 2 hours there will be complete silence and stations to move through at your own pace to help us connect with Jesus.
