Women's Winter Conference
Look to Jesus

As women, it seems everyone depends on us—family, friends, work, ministry. And, yet in addition to our daily responsibilities, we will inevitably face hard seasons—times of loss, grieving, poor health, financial stress, difficult relationships, etc. These seasons drain every area of our lives. We are tired and overwhelmed, yet we need to keep going and show up for those who need us. How do we give when we feel like we have a hole in our tank and have nothing left to offer?

Join us for the Women’s Winter Conference in February as author and speaker, Jenilyn Swett (MDiv), gives us help, hope, and practical instruction through God’s Word—embracing His truth and focusing on Jesus’ example.

Friday night will feature session one from 6-9 p.m., followed by a Girls’ Fun Night featuring crafts, games, snacks, and lots of chatting from 9-11 p.m.

Saturday will feature sessions two and three, plus your choice of topical workshops from 8:30a.m.-2:45 p.m.

Register

Cost: $40 (includes Friday and Saturday snacks and Saturday lunch)

Fun Night will take place immediately following the Friday evening session. We will have lots of fun activities or stay to just hang out and eat! The snacks will be amazing!

You may choose one of the workshops and enjoy a sit-down lunch, or you may grab a box lunch and choose two workshops (conflict resolution, mental health check-in, and the panel discussion offered during the lunch hour).

Workshop Options:

1. Singleness - Jenilyn Swett
    "Singleness is not a problem or a waiting period—it's a place where many of us live, and it offers unique blessings, challenges, and opportunities. Jenilyn turns to Scripture to show how our identity in Christ, paired with a robust theology of singleness, gives us a vision for the single life, no matter how short or long it may be."*

2. Conflict Resolution - Raquel Dagit
    Have you ever had a difficult conversation and it went poorly? Or worse yet, it never happened at all and the issue was swept under the rug, leaving a lack of peace and opportunity for reconciliation? The Bible has much to say on the importance of unity within the body of Christ and how to address conflict. In this session, we will dive into God’s desire for unity in the church, evaluating your heart in a difficult situation, processing in a healthy way, and practical ways to prepare for a crucial conversation in order to address conflict.

3. How Do We Look to Jesus? - Jess Zobac
    In this session, you will hear from a panel of women on how the Lord has sustained them throughout various seasons of life–whether meeting them directly or working through others. You'll receive inspiration and practical tips on how to build better community and strengthen your faith in seasons of both joy and sorrow..

4. How to Do an Emotional/Mental Health Self-Check - Beth Vanne
    It's pretty easy to see how quickly life can get away from us, and if you're anything like me, one of the first things to go by the wayside is caring for my mental health! Being mindful of how we are doing can help manage stress, reduce anxiety and depression, and help us live out our calling to run this race of endurance. You are warmly invited to join us for an interactive and practical time of learning how to check our emotional dashboards.
