The Women of the East Coast Conference CARE
We CARE about the things that break the heart of God. We connect the conference to issues that advocate for women and those who may be hiding in the shadows of shame. So far, in 2010-2011, we have raised over $4,000 to support and continue the work of AVA (Advocacy for Victims of Abuse).
We CARE about the leaders in our midst. We offer valuable training resources at our Annual Celebration. This year, we had two offerings: Yvonne DeVaughn expanded our knowledge of the work of AVA throughout the denomination and Karen Hearl provided many tips that can assist women in leadership.
We CARE about the spiritual lives of our sisters on the East Coast. At our Fall retreats, we provide an atmosphere where they can refresh and reconnect with God and other women, creating a space for new birth and spiritual renewal.
We CARE about women all over the world. We keep our women informed and inspired as we link them up with sister missionaries all over the globe, offering them opportunities to support their efforts and encourage their hearts.
Because we CARE, we will continue to be a valuable resource to the local church
These are some things to mark on your calendars for 2011/2012:
- A training/educational opportunity will be offered Spring of 2012 when we bring our “Annual Celebration”. Look for details either on the Conference website or the eccwomen.org website.
- Judy Howard Peterson will be our retreat speaker for September 21-23, 2012 at Pilgrim Pines. Save the date because space will be filled very quickly.
