Join Us Ladies In Evangelical Truth
Women of Hope would like to invite you to meet with us for coffee & fellowship. We want this to be a time for the ladies to just get away for a couple hours, relax with a cup of coffee (or tea, or cocoa, etc), and just hang out with the girls. You are more than welcome to bring other women along with you. The more the merrier! We get together on a Saturday, once a month, and meet at a local Starbucks or coffee shop from 11:00am – 1:00pm.
The next JULIET fellowship will be on Saturday, Dec 4th at the Starbucks in Richmond – 15521 San Pablo Avenue. It’s located in the same area as the AM/PM gas station, Round Table, Sala Thai, H&R Block.

We carpooled from Central Assembly to the Teen Challenge Women/Children’s Center in San Jose. We all got there around 3:30pm.
Unloading the equipment……….
~ We were talking & laughing during the set up ~
~ The Worhsip Team ~
Once all of our equipment was set up, we got started with the service. The center was actually in a house. The band set up in their dining room area, which opened up to a front room, which is where they had chairs set up for the ladies to sit. There were about 25-30 women in attendance. Some of the ladies from another Teen Challenge center in San Jose joined us. Ginger lead worship, singing some songs like “How Great Is Our God,” and “Breakthrough.” We definitely felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in that house. After worship, Ginger spoke on ”Lies.” All of the women were receptive to what she was preaching on. When she was done, she introduced us, Crystal, Valerie & I (Nedia), to the ladies of Teen Challenge. Ginger asked if anyone needed prayer, and offered us three women to pray for them. That was an amazing time, just being able to pray for those ladies. Not only were the ladies of Teen Challenge blessed with us ministering to them, but our group was truly blessed as well. We could all tell that the Holy Spirit was working in that room to break strongholds. It was an amazing experience.
After prayer, we brought out the gifts that were donated from our church for the women of Teen Challenge.
They were so happy and very thankful. At the end, some of the members of the group “3 in the Same” performed some songs to close us out. It was an amazing and life changing outreach!

Teri then shared with us how we can put on a “new self” or be transformed by the “renewing of our mind.” She had the ladies replace their “clothing” with new ones, like: Humility, Love, Patience, Kindness, Forgiveness, Happiness. Turning anger into forgiveness and depression into happiness.
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances yo may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” ~Colossians 3:12-14
It’s easier said than done to just put on the new “clothing.” But Teri said we need to first recognize what we’re wearing before we can take on trying to change it. Then arm ourselves with the Word of God, and fellowship with other believers for encouragement. Teri said the best way to clean out our closets/mind, is by doing it one rack at a time.
Special thanks to the women that made this event possible:
To Nedia, for “Spring Cleaning” us and guiding Teri Herndon on her vision, Ginger for bringing us Colleen Epperson, Mai for the decorations, Jo for organizing the kitchen and food, and Valerie for the advertising. Last but not least, thank you to all the women who enjoyed being “spring cleaned”.
