Cost: $25/student for the event ticket. We will carpool to the event together. We may leave the night before and stay at Willamette Christian Church (where the event will be held), or leave by 4:30 a.m. day-of. Please plan to bring extra money for dinner after the event.
Join us for a full day of training where we will address many of the big questions such as:
Is the Bible and the church anti-women?
If God is real and good, why is there so much pain and suffering?
Have we been interpreting the Bible wrong about homosexuality and gender?
The spiritual realm of tarot cards, horoscopes, and Wicca seems exciting to explore. Is it wrong?
Church hurts people – why go anymore?
And more to be announced!
Whether you’re a dedicated Jesus follower, questioning, or an atheist, this event is for you!

Week of Prayer: 24/7 Prayer
Week of Prayer
Thank you for considering being a part of Sisters Community Church’s 24/7 prayer! Our hope is not just in what God does for us, but in the deeper reality that He longs for us to see, taste, and know the vastness of His love- the depth, height, and length our Father, Savior, and truest friend has journeyed, and will continue to journey, simple to be with us, listen to us, and love us.
As we step into this 24/7 week of prayer, maybe we not shy away from intimacy with our Creator out of fear- fear that He may not approve of how we show up, or disappointment in what lies behind our locked doors. Instead, let us come as we are fully seen, fully known, and fully loved.
This is an open invitation to join in continual prayer, a space to seek His presence, and to rest in the truth that He is always near.
This Week of Prayer is open to the community. Come when you can, leave when you must. Prayer sessions will begin at the top and bottom of every hour for the “day shift” (until 5 p.m.), and begin at the top of the hour every hour for the “night shift” (5 p.m.-5 a.m.), beginning from April 12 at 6 p.m., and continue through April 19 at 6 p.m. If you are interested in leading a session, please sign up here. Meet in the Prayer Room (located stage left in the Worship Center).
For questions, please contact Pastor Ryan Moffat, rmoffat@sisterschurch.com, or Julia Rickards, julesofgold68@gmail.com.
Member Gathering
Join us on April 6, 6 p.m. in the Fireside Room, for a Member Gathering at SCC. This is for all “members” of our church, and will be a time to celebrate what God has done in our lives and church, as well as introduce our newest members to the body. We will enjoy some fresh popcorn together as we focus on our members, hear some family business, and are challenged with a pastoral address.
Don’t miss this important time together as those committed to what God is doing in our church! It’s going to be so much fun to be together! Let us know you’re coming, by registering here. Registration opens March 9.
For questions, contact Pastor Mark: mseekins@sisterschurch.com
GriefShare- Spring/Summer Session
The next session of GriefShare will begin on Thursday, April 3, and meets weekly from 6-8 p.m. at SCC in Room #5 (through June 26).

The GriefShare program includes 13 weekly sessions comprised of a DVD seminar featuring nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories, followed by a group discussion about what was viewed. Participant workbooks provide structured daily devotions between weekly group meetings. Whether your bereavement experience is a recent one, or not so recent, you will find encouragement, comfort, and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family members, or friend. You will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief and learn how to face your new normal and renew your hope for the future.
