The Red Tent Gathering: Women of the Tent
Women of all ages are invited to participate in exploring the lives of Biblical women and one’s own. In ancient times the Red Tent was a safe and sacred place where women gathered to experience, share, celebrate and mourn the rhythms of life as a woman. This program was developed 3 years ago by Rev. Beth Patton, a Presbyterian candidate for ordained ministry in Fullerton, CA. Her purpose for this series is to dig deeper into the Biblical narrative to learn more about the women and ourselves.
Sessions will be held on these Saturday mornings from 9:00-11:00 am. Participants may attend any or all sessions.
