Mark your calendars for the Fall Gathering
on
November 14 - 16, 2014!
The theme verse will be "I have called you by name, you are mine." Isaiah 43:1. Come join your Sisters in Christ as we celebrate being Children of God! The Florida Bahamas Synodical Women's Organization Fall Gathering will once again be held at the Lake Yale Conference Center in Leesburg this November. We are pleased to announce Pastor Nancy Fisher will be returning as our Chaplain. She will lead us in Worship with Holy Communion and in our Sending Service. Sister Michelle Collins will once again lead us in Bible Study as we explore God's Calling. You may choose to attend several of the many workshops offered or you can enjoy time for personal reflection along the beautiful lake. Delegates will meet throughout the weekend to conduct the business of our organization, but will still have time to enjoy all of the other activities.
Nine youth attended the Fall Gathering last year and we would like to see many more than that this year! The Youth Program is for young women attending fifth grade through college. Sister Michelle Collins and Eva Johnson will be our Youth Leaders this year and are planning some awesome activities for our youth. While the youth will have their own gathering space for activities during business sessions, you'll find them being part of Worship, workshops, and other activities - perhaps even leading some. To encourage young women to attend, their fees are reduced and scholarship funds have been set aside for them. Consider bringing along your daughter or granddaughter and have her bring a friend!
"Share the Spirit" grants are available to help defray costs for anyone wishing to attend. The price remains the same as 2013: $189.00 for weekend programs, lodging, and meals. Please click on the link below for additional information and registration forms.
