Women’s Get-Away Breakouts
November 7-9, 2014
Help, I Am Trying to Hear God!
Jennifer Kennedy Dean
How can you set aside the noise and chaos of life to
hear God's present voice? How does God reliably
speak to believers today? How can I know if I'm
hearing God correctly?"
Praise in Motion
Carijoy Fitzgerald
Come explore how dance and movement can
be used to worship the Lord. Movement is a

presence of God. Come see how worship
through movement can bring you to the foot of
the cross in a new and exciting way.
Prayer Tangling
Nathalie Kline

way to smooth out your thoughts. Pray using
paper and pens--come doodle--it is good for
your soul!

God is bigger than our boxes and

control.

with many obstacles.
Imagine GraceInside at

God Is Who He Says He Is
Tonya Spruill
“Imagine” that your life has taken a turn. One
day you are in perfect health, your finances are
up, your marriage is going well. Then things
begin to take a turn for the worst. Your health
is failing, finances are bankrupt, and you have
lost your spouse through divorce or death. You
begin to question God saying “God Are You Who You Say You
Are?” if so, then God move these mountains out of my way.
Power Within Us!

Let's study Ephesians 3 to learn from Apostle
Paul's missionary activities how the power that

can ask or imagine as women on mission.

because of one thing--her radical faith in Him. Alicia will reveal
four simple but profound truths to achieve unwavering faith in
God
What happened to HOPE ?
Lee Ann Sawyer
Hope holds the promise of the good yet to
come. What happens when your longing is
met with unrealized requests, disease, severed friendships, infertility, singleness, lost
passion, wayward children or boredom. We

will explore what it may look like for you to rediscover your
God given Feminine Hope.

Equipada para ser Mujer (Equipped to be a
Woman)

Dios te ha equipado para ser mujer. Nos preguntamos si tenemos

Que Jesús pide de ti puede cambiar tu historia. (God equipped
you to be a woman. We ask ourselves if we have what it takes, if
we are missing something before we can start to work for God,
when he already gave us what we need. What Jesus asks of you
can change your story)
