"Woven Together"
2024 Women's Retreat
Santa Ynez Marriott.
February 23-25, 2024
Join us as we gather together to study, sing, pray, and fellowship together! This year, our retreat is going to be structured around our theme of being “Woven Together." We'll explore what it means to be woven together with God, each other, and the world around us. We'll talk about God's love and plans for us and how we might be a community of women that join together to be His hands and feet in the world.
Our speaker will be Andrea Messinger from Glenkirk Church. She has a heart for teaching women, and we are excited to have her with us in February. We want you there too!

LOCAL & GLOBAL MISSIONS
Here at Orchard, we are committed to both global & local mission outreach. We support various missionaries overseas in addition to serving the needy in our community. Orchard strives to encourage, teach, develop, financially support, and pray for disciples to spread God’s Word.
Orchard is charged with establishing ministries in support of “the widow, the orphan” and the “least of these brothers of mine”. Our endeavor is to find ministries and opportunities to serve that are closely aligned with our Lord’s mandate to serve those in the deepest need.
