I admit I’m not much of a gatherer.
Oh, I love my Sunday School class and my church family. I enjoy the occasional family reunion or wedding. But, on the whole, I tend to stick to small groups instead of large crowds.
And that tendency has been amplified since Dominic ran ahead to heaven.
So I totally understand why a bereaved parent might be reluctant to come to a CONFERENCE full of STRANGERS.
But please listen to my heart, not just my words: this is NOT your average gathering.
April Wendland (a bereaved mother herself) and a very special team of people have worked hard to put together a two-day event that will speak courage to broken hearts.
You won’t be surrounded by people who glance sideways when the tears roll. You won’t feel out of place when the tears turn to sobs.
Because we’ve all been there-we are STILL there.
There is no substitute for hearing (perhaps for the first time), “Me too! I feel that way too!”
If you have never had the blessing of sharing space with other hearts that know exactly how you feel, then please, please, please try to come!
And it’s FREE!
Courage is going to flow through the building. Love will overwhelm your heart. Grace and mercy will spill forth like water from a fountain.
Come be encouraged, strengthened and filled with hope for this journey. ❤ ❤ ❤

I don’t think they have the ability to do that but if it’s possible, I’m sure they will ❤

Hi Melanie, Thank you for your amazing ministry via this blog. I am unable to make the conference but was wondering if they are livestreaming or recording any of the sessions?

My understanding is that we will not livestream nor record this time. I will be working my session into a series of blog posts on the back side so there’s that. Thank you for encouraging my heart by taking time to comment. If anything changes and the sessions ARE recorded, I will definitely post the best way to get a copy. ❤
