Our third annual trip to the two day Women of Faith conference in Anaheim began auspiciously with a spectacular sunrise as many of us drove down early Friday morning for the kickoff speakers. The Women of Faith conference is presented in thirty cities around the nation featuring inspirational Christian speakers. The focus of this year’s conference was “A Grand New Day,” how God’s mercies never end and are new each morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Featured speakers this year included Patsy Clairmont, Luci Swindoll, Sandi Patti, Stephen Arterburn, Sheila Walsh, Christian comedian Anita Renfroe, fantastic singing by the Women of Faith musical worship team, the energetic Ayeisha Woods and Grammy award winner Steven Curtis Chapman.

 

Our “Ventura County Church Babes” (“VCCB”) group began almost three years ago with the Friday morning women’s bible study group which includes members of St. Paul’s and several other churches in the area. Each year we grow as friends are caught up with our enthusiasm for studying scripture and sharing a common ground in fellowship. This year we were twenty-six strong, and we rejoiced in new friendships and renewed and unexpected connections. We have reserved our tickets for the 2010 conference September 10^th-11^th at the Honda Center in Anaheim.   You won’t want to miss out on this inspirational and uplifting weekend of Christian fellowship. If you’d like to learn more, talk to Paula Robertson, Suzanne McCombs or Ruth McCool. We’d love to have you join us!
