CONFERENCE INFORMATION
Ladies,
I hope you enjoyed a joyful and blessed Christmas season. Celebrating the birth of our Lord is always a wonderful occasion. As the New Year begins, we’re organizing our Spring events for the women’s ministry. I encourage you to consider bringing a group to this year’s Calvary Chapel regional Women’s Gathering. Calvary Chapel Stone Mountain in Georgia will host the event from April 16-18. We will start on Thursday at 7:00 PM, have a full day of sessions on Friday, and finish before lunch on Saturday.
Our theme this year is “cultivating fruits of the spirit,” focusing on the nine different fruits found in Galatians 5:22-23 that develop in our lives as we abide in Christ. The teachings will focus on how we can nurture these fruits in our daily lives. By “abiding in Christ,” we position ourselves to grow the fruits of His Spirit. The growth of these fruits is not passive; it requires intentional effort, purposeful care, and study. Just as a farmer learns to tend to each crop, we too need to nurture our thoughts, desires, and motives to maximize the potential of each fruit. Since each fruit serves a unique role in our lives, we need specific understanding of what hinders and what promotes their growth. My goal is to equip each of us with the tools necessary for cultivating these fruits to full ripeness.
I’m especially excited about the speakers we’ve arranged. This year, I’ve invited several women from outside our region with years of experience to share with us. The website offers all the details about the speakers. You’ll see many new faces, and I believe you will be truly blessed.
For more detailed information, refer to the website. We have also prepared a PDF for you to download. All registrations will be done through the website. When we reach our maximum capacity, we will close off registration. In 2024, we had to close registration early, so I highly suggest that your ladies register early.
Make sure to secure your own accommodations before arrival, as they are limited. Many of you arrived early and ate dinner at the church on Thursday; you are welcome to use the pavilion’s tables again. Lunch and dinner will be provided on Friday.
Because of the sensitive and mature nature of the sharing, we are restricting this event to high school students and older.
If you have any other questions, please get in touch with me directly. I will assist you. Again, I pray you will come and join us for this event.
