Joy, Worship, and Sisterhood: 2025 Ladies’ Spring Fling at Arbor Christian Fellowship
Arbor Christian Fellowship’s 2025 Ladies’ Spring Fling, held on Mother’s Day weekend, was a joyful and Spirit-filled afternoon of worship, fellowship, and encouragement. Highlights included uplifting music from The Arbor Angels, a heartfelt and inspiring duet by Ruth and Rudy Dignadice, and a powerful video message from missionary Allyson Roestorf announcing her anticipated pregnancy—an answer to months of prayer. Prayer Warrior Carol Allen stirred hearts with insights from recent prayer summits and shared about Southern Baptist Disaster Relief efforts at the Southern California wildfires. Attendees enjoyed a beautiful meal, meaningful crafts, intercessory prayer for missionaries, and a moving message from speaker Yukko Akuna about faith and hope in the face of tragedy. The event was a touching reminder of God’s faithfulness and the strength of women united in Christ.
Carol Allen Represents Arbor Christian Fellowship at Bi-Annual DOM Meeting
Carol Allen, representing Arbor Christian Fellowship as a member of the California Southern Baptist Convention’s Prayer Team, participated in the bi-annual meeting of the Directors of Missions (DOMs), in Fresno, California. The meeting featured a powerful time of prayer led by Bill Elliff, who also prayed specifically for Carol’s prayer team. The event was a lead-up to the Ascent Prayer Summit in April, where church leaders will gather to seek God’s presence through Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer. As part of the 2025 CSBC Prayer Initiative, these events are aimed at deepening the prayer life of every believer and transforming churches into Houses of Prayer. Carol’s involvement continues to play a vital role in strengthening prayer initiatives at Arbor and across the state.
