The 16th annual Connecting and Bonding Conference was held recently in Ontario, California. Ministers’ wives from across the U.S. and Canada attended. The theme was Resting in Jesus’ Presence, based on Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Jannice May (pictured at right, above, honoring the wives of retired pastors), coordinated the conference, which provided periods of rest along with the meeting of “friendship teams” that focused on enjoying the presence of the Lord.
Guest speakers at the conference were Lucinda McDowell (pictured at left—her presentation was titled: “Renewed, Restored, Revived”), Kathleen Hart (“Intentional Living with God” and “Jesus and the Holy Spirit”) and Naomi Beard (“Stop, Rest, Catch Your Breath”).
Sylvia Fried (a professional worship leader) led uplifting times of conference worship. Another highlight was the second annual concert put on by the ministers’ wives emceed by Sharie Meyer.
I have attended many Connecting and Bonding Conferences…this one was especially “special”.
We have as a group “connected and bonded”-Jannice May’s yielding to God’s will for this ministry was very evident. The conference has been a life-line for me personally and I truly appreciate this group of ladies who have become my “darling sisters”.
Greetings to all,
God’s blessings to you for your efforts through the Connecting and Bonding Conferences which are such a help to all involved. Please continue to use this helpful conference to aid and uplift many more for Christ. David & Linda Husmann
