Living Fully Present
Honey Wiggs

This interactive breakout facilitates authentic and genuine community, helping women to walk in powerful community, loving their neighbors as themselves. Let’s practice living out Mark 12:30–31 together.

Feeling Crafty?

We all love doing different things, and some prefer to be hands-on. For that reason, we are offering three different options. These breakouts have a limited number of slots; if you arrive and the room is full, please move on to another breakout.

 
Build a Prayer Board

Connect with your faith through prayer and join us in creating a personal prayer board. This board will serve as a visual representation of your prayer life and faith journey, helping you enhance your spiritual growth by showcasing areas of your life where you seek God’s transformation through prayer.

 
Make Your Own Greeting Cards

One fruit of the Spirit is kindness. In the cardmaking community, we often hear ‘Spread kindness by sending a card.’ We’re eager to share our passion for cardmaking with you as you join us in making a card to send to a friend. All materials provided.

 
Macrame

Follow along in a guided creation of a macrame window/mirror hanger. This cute craft features our conference theme verse in a hand-knotted macrame circle.
