On Saturday, February 25, 85 women came together at Advent Presbyterian Church, Cordova, TN, to enjoy a day of both encouragement and challenge as they focused on “Loving the Word; Living the Word”.
Workshop leaders Susan Nash, Karen Stratford, Cindy Schwartz and Megan Hackman provided not only rich content in their teaching, but modeled what it means to have a passion for God’s Word. Women came from metro Memphis, as well as, TX, MS, LA and AL. Women left with a new perspective and energy for studying, praying and resting in God’s Word.
What women said about the day:
- Thank you so much for an excellent workshop last Saturday at Advent. I came away from it with so much more than I expected. I have heard very positive comments from other women who attended. I am now reading through the REAL manual that I got and am glad that I got it……it has a lot of good info on equipping in ministry.
- This weekend was completely spiritually overwhelming for me, in a good way. So thank you again so much.
- Women received in one day all the areas that I’ve been studying in seminary: theology, homiletics, spiritual formation and application. I am grateful I was there!
