SAVE THE DATE:

The Fall Gathering at Lake Yale Baptist Retreat Center is November 12-14, 2021
          
       THEME FOR THE WEEKEND:  

"Faith Can Move Mountains"

Bible Study, Worship, Workshops, Fellowship
  
 







Mark your calendars for the Tenth Triennial Gathering, July 13-16, 2017, at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are real women talking about our faith. About our doubts and challenges. About joy and what inspires us. We’ll experience simple conversations between friends—old and new—that will develop into a movement sweeping the church, inspired and infused with the Holy Spirit.
Join the conversation as we explore the triennial gathering theme "All Anew." Listen to inspiring speakers; participate in worship and praise; learn by attending workshops, viewing films and engaging in servant events. Visit the exhibit hall where you can gather, shop and connect. And don't forget our special events where women in their 20s and 30s can eat chocolate and join others to run it off later. And where's it all happening? In Minneapolis, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

 We are all cracked pots… come find out more at your Conference Spring Gathering

Broken & Whole: All have a blessed purpose through God
2 Corinthians 4:7-9

But this beautiful treasure is contained in us - 
cracked pots made of earth and clay - 
so that the transcendent character of this power will be 
clearly seen as coming from God and not from us.
We are bewildered at times, but we do not give in to despair. 
We are persecuted, but we have not been abandoned.
We have been knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
