GREAT NEWS!!!!! LADIES!
Many of you have said it has been hard to choose which of the breakaways to attend, so the committee members met on Sunday, March 28, and decided that all of the breakaways will be done in a consecutive order. So you do not have to miss out on any aspect of the offering during the Empowerment Weekend!
Many ladies who do not have the capability of attending this conference using Zoom, have been given the go ahead to register as individuals and will come together at their local churches and will attend the Empowerment Weekend collectively as a group. This way, everyone can attend and no decisions have to be made regarding which breakaway to attend.
Again, the registration date has been extended, so there is still time to register before the April 6th deadline. After this date the cost of registration increases by $10. If you do not register before the deadline, you run the risk of attending the Empowerment Weekend without your package from the committee to make your full participation a successful and rewarding experience.
Below is the schedule for the weekend. You will be receiving your thank you gifts along with the handouts and the finalized schedule for the weekend before the retreat begins on Friday, April 16.

“And Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.” Genesis 31:49 KJV
We look forward to connecting with you on April 16th-18th, and may God continue to bless and protect and provide for both you and your families as we lift each other up in prayer.
“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:4-8 KJV
