Women of Faith Conference

Ladies this message is for you.Are you excited about being a woman of faith? Do you want to learn more about God's "Infinite Grace"? Then there is an opportunity for that just around the corner from us.Friday, July 18th and Saturday, July 19th coming to the Gund Arena in Cleveland is the 2008 Women of Faith conference entitled "Infinite Grace". I will quote you from the brochure:"It's refreshment, reality without reproach, and relationships. So what does this mean...Refreshment: Imagine getting together with you closest girlfriends for a weekend. Think of the laughter you'd share, the tears and the FUN you'd have. Now multiply that by 10,000 or so. Reality without Reproach: We're not perfect. We don't expect you to be perfect. Our speakers are real women who share stories for their real lives. We're here to encourage women, not to condemn anyone. Even those who have never set foot in a church feel comfortable at our conferences. Relationships: Connecting with God and with each other. At Women of Faith we believe that God wants a personal relationship with him. At a Women of Faith conference you'll have a chance to connect with other women.Over the course of the conference you'll have the opportunity to:- Renew your spirit with messages of hope and humor from the Women of Faith speaker team- Recharge you spiritual batteries with drama that tickles you funny bone and touches you heart- Rejoice with music from top Christian artists- Reconnect with God and each other as the WOF worship team leads an arena full of women in praise to God.- Revitalize you life with resources that will help keep the conference alive all year- Relax in the comforting knowledge that God loves you - right where you are.

Info for Midwest Campers

Dear Midwest campers,

For anyone who is interested, a few afternoon activities are being planned to get together and fellowship. These activities will take place in the lobby of Rousch Hall at 2 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during camp week. On Tuesday we will play Bunco, a great mixer game. On Wednesday, there will be a recipe exchange. Please bring 20 copies of a favorite recipe or two (with your name on the copies) and we'll share and expand our menus. On Thursday we'll have a book discussion. Please bring book titles or authors you've enjoyed. (We will not be reading or sharing the book The Shack) These activities are geared toward women, but ANYONE is invited, including men and teen and young adult women. See you then!

See you then! Liz Bocka ebocka@juno.com
