Special Pre-Triennial Mini Conference
Missional Moms
featuring Helen Lee, author of The Missional Mom: Living with Purpose at Home and in the World.
Thursday, July 28, 2:00-5:30pm
Does our call to serve Jesus Christ vanish when we become moms? How can we faithfully love and parent our kids while serving God’s purposes in the world?
Missional Moms, a new ministry from Women Ministries of the Covenant, seeks to encourage moms by removing the roadblocks to connection and ministry for them. This special pre-Triennial Missional Moms mini-conference will offer encouragement and inspiration for moms and post-active moms who want to engage the next generation. Includes keynote speaker and author, Helen Lee, stories of everyday moms engaged in missional ministry, and time for connection and reflection together.
$25 per person
Raise the Flag
Triennial is a time and place to connect with women from other nations, cultures, and traditions. Through Raise the Flag, we receive funds to bring to Triennial women from the countries where the Covenant serves in global mission. When we hear from voices different from our own, we all grow and learn.
