Infinite Grace: Women of Faith Conference 2008

Friday, September 12th through Saturday, September 13th, women met from around the greater northeast to attend this year's Women of Faith Conference, themed "Infinite Grace," at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

Since 1996, the Women of Faith Association (founded by Stephen Artburn) has been hosting conferences around the country, and each year its speakers have brought with them poignant—and often hilarious—stories, life lessons, and womanly advice.

This year's featured speakers in Philadelphia included Patsy Clairmont, Sandi Patty, Nicole C. Mullen, and Sheila Walsh, and all of the women were equally as dynamic as their messages. Common among all of them was one particular message: God loves you just as you are. They also reminded women that it's okay to be grumpy, we all secretly raid the fridge, and no woman can complete every task on her dozens of Post-It notes.

Highlights included dramatic skits by Nicole Johnson, songs and symbolic dances by Nicole C. Mullen and her students, and humorous words of wisdom by the spunky Luci Swindoll and Patsy Clairmont.

Tickets for next year's conference, "Grand New Day," are already available, and they're going fast. To find out more information about Women of Faith and current and future conferences, go to www.womenoffaith.com.
