SHARE Summer Garden Event

The SHARE Ministry Team out did themselves with this magical gathering! Walking into the SHARE Summer Garden event felt like entering a heavenly oasis, where one could imagine the angels giving celestial fist bumps of approval. The backyard was filled with purple flowers and fun shrubs shaped like animals, and it was surrounded by an extensive golf course, creating a peaceful spot for our souls seeking sisterhood. The background music felt like a warm hug, and the gentle southern California breeze and the singing birds added to this spiritual scene. The ladies, dressed in colorful dresses and chic wide-brimmed hats, were all smiles, feeling a strong bond as they gathered in a spirit of togetherness. It was a fun, relaxed atmosphere filled with love, and their goal was to get closer to Jesus.

The event's theme is "Surrender," which Pastor Paige, our pastor, is passionate about. She focuses on helping us understand the importance of letting go and surrendering to God's plan. It's not about giving up but about clearing your heart and mind. Surrendering isn't easy, but with dedication, focus, and time with God's word, we can trust in His wisdom and have the faith to step out and try new things. Pastor Paige's presence and teachings give us guidance and support, making us feel more confident in our spiritual journey. 

Who doesn't appreciate authentic, unscripted testimonials? What a gift for the listener! The impact of in-person testimonials is tremendous. So many lives changed. Just picture sitting at beautifully decorated tables with flowers that look like they were plucked from Heaven's gate. During the event, Kimberly Rangell, Cristina Briseno, and Michelle Yanez opened up about their surrender journeys, showing bravery and inspiring us with their authenticity. We attendees were blessed with tales of truth, struggles, seeking, and Jesus. These stories are more than just stories; they're like supercharged tools that motivate us to take charge of our lives and help us to get in sync with God's wants, leaving us feeling empowered. 

The SHARE Ministry welcomes women from all faiths. During this event, Pastor Paige's heartfelt message of Surrender deeply touched the hearts of many former and current Catholics. The inspiring words from Pastor Paige and the heartfelt stories from other attendees motivated these women to break free from the limitations they had imposed on themselves. After the event, they approached Pastor Paige, wanting to feel the same deep connection with Jesus that she had. They asked her humbly for prayers, and Pastor Paige prayed for them. Indeed, they departed from the event feeling uplifted, seen, cared for, and hopeful, embracing the possibility of a new and meaningful relationship with Jesus.

The beauty of SHARE Ministry lies in its ability to provide the tools and experience necessary to connect with the Living God. It is a ministry that offers loving support throughout the journey to Freedom and the discovery of Purpose, ultimately allowing women to have a significant Impact coupled with the unstoppable power of Sisterhood. And the best part? Connecting with God is just a heartbeat away.

Transformation, anyone?
