GIRLS OF GRACE
NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Girls Of Grace Website
On Saturday, February 23rd,
2008, Grace Lutheran Ministries hosted “The Girls of Grace Nation Simulcast”
that was broadcast live from White's Chapel United Methodist Church located
in Southlake, TX. There were
twenty-six girls in grades 7th-12th
that attended the spirit-filled program which included several Christian
speakers, bands, and soloists. Their focus was to spread God’s guidance
specific to girls' relationships. One of the speakers, Chris Wheeler helped
the girls to see that believing in Jesus as Lord of Lords and King of Kings
makes us children of the King and therefore make us a princess. We should,
as daughters of the King, expect no less than to be treated (by boys) like a
princess. A surprise musical guest, Chris Slide of American Idol shared with
us a beautiful song that he wrote himself.
Fourteen girls received scholarships to the enlightening day. A huge THANKS
to those who donated toward the scholarships. We raffled off two iPod
shuffles, four music CD’s, a Girls of Grace devotional, journal, Bible study
workbook and an autographed copy of the listening guide. The CLC donated
twelve teen girl’s Bibles that were given away with a prayer spoken over
each girl that received one.
THANKS Selene & Jim!!
We had a surprise guest speaker of our own on site.
Jacquie Verbocy
gave her personal testimonial as a 21 year old single
mother of 2 children. Her emotion-filled story certainly touched and
influenced the girls. THANKS Jacquie!!
Mike
Verbocy and his crew cooked a hot lunch for the
26 girls in attendance, as well as for the 16 adults who were present to
facilitate a positive conclusion to the day.
