Dallas Central host
to women's conference

GARLAND, Texas—The Dallas Central church was host for the Ark-La-Tex women’s conference May 5 at St. Phillips United Methodist Church in Garland.

About 140 women from Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana attended. Worship leaders were Vera Gibbs, Debbie Hard and Nicole Moore. The theme was "Into His Presence."

Barb Egbert urged the women to focus on their children’s spiritual needs, boldly claiming them for Christ and reaching out to help them come to him.

Sandy Orban spoke on praying for the next generation and bringing their children to their Savior through prayer.

Adrienne Pickett spoke on trusting in God and not being fearful. She asked the women to seek God’s protection in troubling situations (Psalm 91:4-5). Susan Booze described God as our shelter in a storm.

Trish Clauson spoke on faith and opening ourselves up to Christ’s presence that is all around us.

Shirley Neal of Shreveport, Louisiana, led an interactive discussion over the day’s presentations. Joyce Catherwood performed a monologue called "At the Feet of Jesus," in which she played Mary Magdalene.

The Dallas Central men’s ministry prepared and served lunch.

Sherry Hebert said: "We felt spiritually renewed and invigorated by the music and messages." Frank Lewandowski.
