"Because He Loves Me" Women's Conference
Community
Simply speaking, love changes people. Christians, then, by definition, should exhibit the greatest transformation of all because, rightly understood and cherished, God's love makes them increasingly more like the One who has lavished his love on them.
This truth is meant to tell believers who they are, their purpose and destiny, and how to faithfully persevere in their struggles against all opposition. But sometimes people lose sight of this. Because He Loves Me restores that vision, reminding Christians of their true identity as beloved children of God adopted by the Father, espoused to the Son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Come and enjoy a day of worship and digging deep into God's Word with as Elyse Fitzpatrick takes us through her book, "Because He Loves Me." Saturday, March 13, 2010. 8 a.m. -5 p.m.
The event is $40 before March 1. $45 after March 1. Event fee includes continental breakfast and lunch.
Price - Low: $40. Price - High: $45. Ticket Phone: (530) 878-0293. Ticket Web Link: www.fcfmv.org. Contact: Geldie Richardson/Carrie Gibson.
