Women from College Community Church in Clovis, Calif., and Iglesia El Buen Pastor, the Mennonite Brethren church in Orange Cove, held a joint women's retreat in January. "We gathered as women who lives less than one hour apart on California Highway 180, but worlds apart by experience -- different languages, different cultures, different educational backgrounds and different socio-economic realities," says Mary Anne Isaak, a retreat participant. The women, says Isaak, experienced the family of God as they ate together, participated in activities and worshiped.
