COMMUNITY OF WOMEN MINISTERS

The Community of Women Ministers (CWM) has existed for many years to support and bless each other as women in ministry. We invite all women in ministry to join us. At this gathering, Rachel Howell will lead us in a time of welcome, embrace, and reflection as we seek to support each other and grow in community with one another. We will enjoy dinner together in Room 115 in the Onstead-Packer Biblical Studies Building.

ANCHOR POINT, FEATURING ANNA CARTER FLORENCE

All Summit participants will gather downtown for an evening at the 201 Mesquite Event Center that we call Anchor Point. We will share a wonderful catered dinner and hear from noted scholar, author, and speaker Anna Carter Florence, PhD. Then we will conclude with a time of worship. From 6:00-6:15 p.m., we will enjoy a time of fellowship. Dinner will be served beginning at 6:15 p.m.

CHAPLAINS LUNCH

We would like to invite all chaplains and anyone interested in learning more about chaplaincy to join us for lunch hosted by Paul Riddle and Gary Payne. Both Paul and Gary are experienced chaplains and serve as chairs of endorsement committees. Lunch will be in the Smart Room, which is located in the World Famous Bean. Join us for a meal, a short presentation with time for Q&A, and connection. You can receive a voucher for lunch at the registration table.
