Women’s Day of Reflection

The Spiritual Journey of Empowered Women

Virginia Karem Brown, MA

You are invited to slow down after the hustle and bustle of the holidays.  Join with other women for our annual Women’s Day of Reflection.  We will listen to the first person voices of women in Church History, and then we will share our stories of women in our own lives who have been a powerful influence on us and women in Scripture whom we identify as powerful. Then we will share our own stories of recognizing our journeys to become empowered in our daily lives, relationships, and our spiritual and emotional selves.
