Dear First Pres,
You know what starts tomorrow night, right? Yes, the Bulldogs are playing UNLV at home, but that’s not what I’m thinking about. Tomorrow night is the launch of this year’s Women’s Conference (affectionately known as WoCo)! The theme of this year’s conference is “The Lord Has Done This!” and Pastor Rici Skei is the speaker. With Pastor Rici as the speaker has come a wonderful partnership with On Ramps Covenant Church (one of our neighboring downtown churches) for the conference. Our leaders have been working with their leaders and the fruit of that is going to be a fabulous weekend for the women of our churches. Clearly the Lord is stirring, because we have 120 women signed up for the conference; that’s more than we’ve had at WoCo in nearly two decades!
So, if you are one of the 120 women planning to attend the conference, I pray you come ready to receive what the Lord has for you in His awesome grace. And if you don’t have the privilege of participating in this year’s conference (like me), I encourage you to be praying that the Lord will work in powerful ways. Maybe the Lord will use this conference to catalyze something new that He wants to do among our congregation. Maybe the Lord will use it to draw someone to faith in Jesus. Maybe the Lord will use it to break the chains of insecurity or codependency or fear. Maybe the Lord will use it to forge new transformational relationships. I’m not sure what the Lord is going to do, but I believe there is a positive correlation between our prayers and our experience of God. So, please join me in praying for all the women who will be leading and participating in this conference.
To help with that, the Deacons have organized a Women’s Conference Prayer Vigil. If you click on this link, you can sign up to pray at a certain time or during a particular activity of the conference. I encourage you to find a particular time to pray so that we can fill every slot. Then, as you pray from wherever you are for the women at WoCo, we’ll have complete prayer coverage during the entire conference. Pray, with thanksgiving in your heart and ask God to move in very powerful and tangible ways in the lives of all the women for His glory. Pray as Jesus taught us to pray, that God’s Kingdom would come and His will would be done in the Women’s Conference as it is in heaven. If our whole congregation rallies to pray for this conference I can only imagine the encouraging reports we’ll hear of God at work … and we’ll gladly join in saying, “The Lord has done this!”
Blessings,
Jeremy
P.S. Men, there is a very special gathering for you coming up on November 2 at People’s Church. See the details here. It’s going to be powerful.
