Elizabeth became obsessed with mosaic art during a trip to Europe in her early twenties. Her Grandmother had taught me how to cut glass at a young age, and she loved making stained glass pieces with her. When she inherited her stained glass collection and equipment, she started using the glass to create mosaic art. She now shares her passion with others by conducting workshops to teach others this art at Crazy Horse Art Studio ~ Mosaics & More, located in Grapevine, Texas.

About the Workshop: As daughters of prophecy, we are to speak forth divinely inspired counsel – the Greek definition of “prophesy” in our theme scripture. Mourners can grieve in hope when given counsel under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who brings peace and comfort in loss. This workshop will provide attendees with a working knowledge of grief care, practical applications, and resources for supporting grievers. Corri speaks from her personal experience with grief, how God has impacted her grief journey, and why this knowledge is important to congregational care.

About the Workshop: We have a tremendous opportunity when we preach to paint a picture of God and proclaim who God is. In this current day when daughters prophesy, we need to know what image of God informs our faith and the proclaimed Word. Who we think God is effects how we walk in faith and who we become in Christ. This workshop will ask preachers to examine the language they use for God and the dangers of having a static picture of God. We will also delve into different preaching forms and how those structures effect the preached imago Dei.

Ford (16), Cooper (14), and Tucker (12) are the joys of Aimee’s life and she can be seen on the sidelines of the football and soccer fields losing her preaching voice. The churches Aimee pastors have sometimes had to decide which bill they can pay and she has always had to double as a church janitor. Aimee is fueled by her daily 4 shots of espresso and the Holy Spirit.

About the Workshop: Chaplains bring a prophetic vision and voice into secular settings in their communities by “Connecting Christ to Community.” They do this through compassionate care, redemptive counseling, whole person care, and prioritizing their own growth. Participants will hear lived experiences from two women chaplains and learn more about the vocation and pathways in chaplaincy. Participants will also gain understanding of the way chaplaincy creates unique opportunities for women clergy to minister in diverse settings and the practical ways to live out that calling.
