The vision behind United Love...
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ~ 1 John 4:7
As Christians, we belong to the body of Christ. It's important to become fully participating parts, too! UNITED LOVE Ladies' Day is a great opportunity to experience the Spiritual encouragement that the Bible speaks about as we explore how to be more devoted to one another in love.
Join us as we discover ways we can share with those in need, practice hospitality, get to know each other better, and find out how we can love each other better!
Each of our 5 speakers will equip us with practical tools that help us live by faith, hold on to God, and share how to encourage others in a variety of life stages.
Each element of the day is an opportunity to know others better. Our ultimate goal is to be women that glorify God, unified by HIS love, as we encourage each other.
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. ~ Romans 12:10
Join us April 20!
