Can you believe that the last time we came together, physically, for our Conference was September 19, 2019, in Columbus, OH? That was three years ago. Since then, we have been blessed to host two virtual Conferences with the dynamic assistance of Vanguard Solutions with Roxy Hall and Camille Wilson What a blessing it was to still be able to connect and share God’s Word with our sisters… virtually. But glory to God we are elated to be able to say WELCOME to our 13th MWCCC conference taking place here in Pontiac, MI
We are exceptionally elated for our sisters to be able to come together again. COVID has changed most of our lives in many ways Thank you for hanging in there with us as we have made changes. We do not take your commitment to our Conference for granted. We greatly appreciate you without YOU there would not be a MWCCC.
Sisters, this year we are coming together in a powerful way as we are LIFTED ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH POWER!
Are you ready to get lifted?
This is going to be a powerful weekend flled with powerful speakers, powerful praise and a powerful Word! Take time to get immersed in every moment of the power!
Sisters, let’s continue to praise God and give Him the glory, honor and praise as our Lord continues to help us remain steadfast in His Word, and we continue to trust Him to di ut us. It is all about Him as we are LIFTED AB
This year ’ s theme is relevant and pregnant with hope for believers. This conference hasn’t been able to assemble in person for three years. The last three years have been difcult for many of us. The fallen world has brought death, disease and distance.
This stress brought to the surface for some of us our human frailties. Mental health, economic challenges, family routines and other issues could have easily put us in what I want to call ‘THE BELOW’ which Paul calls “ a thorn in the fesh.” 2 Cor. 12:7.
Someone once said to me, “where there is a thorn God brings triumph.” The victory is being (a present indicative active) lifted above and beyond over and over again. The foundation of this experience is found in the word ‘ power. ’ It is so signifcant that in the NIV it’s translated ‘ power ’ three times in Eph 3:16-21. The Greek word is dunamis. The primary idea of the word is that by His very nature He gives you sisters the ability in the inner person to be lifted above and beyond the control of earthly afairs.
Finally, “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work in us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.”
Midwest Women’s Conference of the churches Of Christ Lifted Above and Beyond with Power...Eph. 3:14-21
