Workshop Electives #1 (Saturday 1:00pm)

• Women of the Word: Beyond the Veil to the Heart of Worship - Rebecca Crouch (repeated 2:45pm)
  Worship is more than a song – it’s more than what we do when we gather on Sunday! Worship is a lifestyle – it means offering every breath, every thought, every moment as an act of Worship. In this workshop we will take a stroll through Scripture and learn from the mighty women of faith who have gone before us – how they lived, sacrificed and surrendered their lives in service of their King!

• Women in the Church: Living the Mystery - Selina Hasham
  The topic of Women in the Church is so much bigger, more beautiful and more mysterious than an argument about equal roles or women priests. It is time for every woman to embrace the unrepeatable contribution that she has to make to the Church today and play her unique part in nurturing a culture that grants each woman “the dignity that is hers by right” (Pope Benedict XVI). Come to this workshop to discuss, dream and open your heart to God’s promise for you.

• Finding Sanctuary at Home: The God of Washing up - Kym Keady
  In an achievement driven society, the role of parenthood often feels unimportant. This workshop discusses the value of an 'audience of One', the irreplaceable role we play as parents in our children's lives, and the God who winks at us in the bubbles of soap! Whether motherhood is new or long running in your life, come and get new perspective on one of the most important jobs you will ever do.

Workshop Electives #2 (Saturday 2:45pm)

• Living Your Supreme Vocation - Selina Hasham
  “Meditating on the biblical mystery of the ‘woman’, the Church prays that in this mystery all women may discover themselves and their ‘supreme vocation’” (Pope John Paul II, Mulieris Dignitatem). Do you ever wonder how you chose the vocation you are living right now? Has it matched up to your expectations? Do you ever look at others and think the ‘grass is greener’? There is grace and wonder in embracing the blessed vocation that God has given us. This workshop will tap into the precious gift of the state of life that God has given you to live, not yesterday or tomorrow, but today.

  “All creation waits in eager expectation for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed” (Romans 8:19) Do you know you are a precious daughter of the Omnipotent Creator of the Universe?
