Hearing the Father's Call: Using Our Gifts for Mission and Ministry
The Province IV Women's Conference, co-sponsored by Kanuga and the Episcopal Church Women, is set for June 7-9 at Kanuga Conference Center in the mountains of western North Carolina. This annual conference is for all women and their guests, and is the first in a three-year series on the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Keynoter Mary M. MacGregor works for the Episcopal Diocese of Texas as Director of Leadership Development, training church leaders with new initiatives and creative approaches. She has been involved in congregational development and particularly women’s ministries for over 20 years and is best known for high energy, engaging presentations. Much in demand, Mary MacGregor has spoken in 39 dioceses and over 100 churches. She has been the keynote speaker at clergy conferences, diocesan conventions, and at the 2000 Episcopal Church Women’s Triennial meeting in Denver.
This year's conference chaplain will be the Reverend Jennie Olbrych, rector of St. Peter and St. John in Charleston, South Carolina. Music leaders will be Susan Clarkson Keller (sister of Jennie) and Joanna Macmurphy. This conference is coordinated by Lydia Evans (843-722-7116, lydiaevans@comcast.net).
Once again, Kanuga will offer an Optional Play Day for those who wish to arrive on Sunday, June 6 to enjoy Kanuga and have time together.
