Harvesting Shalom
Are you on the mailing list for the National American Baptist Women’s Ministries? Have you seen the opportunity for Harvesting Shalom? Early registration is ending on Friday, August 17th!
Harvesting Shalom is an event happening Friday, September 28 – Sunday, September 30, 2018. It will be held at Canonicus Camp and Conference Center in Exeter, Rhode Island. It is not often we get an opportunity to attend a National Event so close to home here to those of us in the Northeast, so take your opportunity now!
Why go?
I attended C2R4 at Camp Canonicus almost six years ago and the thought of a young woman being pulled in many different directions hit hard then for me personally. Renewal was imperative for my mind and soul.
Harvesting Shalom is recognizing that this has not changed for most women. We continue to be pulled in many directions and the idea of keeping everything balanced seems so unreal some days. But… You need to remember you are a daughter of God. Harvesting Shalom at Camp Canonicus while being far from home is close enough for those of us in the New York and American Baptist Women’s Ministries is striving to use this event to give you the opportunity to rest, regroup, and remember that you’re a daughter of God.
Taking time for worship without the distractions you might have at your home worship, Bible study, and conversation with Christian sisters will help you rebuild your critical support network.
Wellness experiences will equip you with tools for regenerating your prayer life, attending to your physical health, and discerning God’s direction.
The beautiful surroundings of New England as the fall begins will remind you of God’s love for you in creation!

I hope you have an opportunity to go, or can help someone you know who needs to re-balance her life some a chance to go.
Blessings, Rebecca
