I personally invite all of the wonderful women at Northwest (and all of your friends and family of course) to our NWBC Fall Women’s Retreat.

We will attend the Extraordinary Women Conference together in Rockford IL November 4th & 5th. The speakers and worship leaders at this conference look amazing so we expect to be educated, uplifted, and to have a LOT of fun!

Cost is $49 for the conference ticket if you order by August 15 (goes up to $59 thru Sept 12 and $69 thru Oct 28 or $89 at the door). We estimate an additional $75 to $100 more for meals and hotel but this will vary based on how many people per room or if you choose not to stay overnight. Some scholarship funding is available – please see the back of the registraion form for the scholarship application.

You can download the Women’s Retreat Information Sheet for detailed information about the speakers and worship leaders. Please email (preferred) or print out and fill in the Registration Form.

If you have any questions and/or want to email me your registration please contact me at silvacarlene@hotmail.com or give me a call.

I hope you will join us this year and I look forward to getting to know you better at the conference!

In Christ,

Northwest Baptist Church invites you to join us for a very special event, June 3-4, 2011.   As part of a Worship Renewal Grant, Northwest has engaged Dr. Larry Osborne to speak about the relationship between vital small groups and closing the back door of the church.  Small groups play a crucial role in helping people build relationships, effectively knitting their lives into the fabric of the church and to others who desire Christ-likeness.

Friday, June 3^rd, 6:00-8:00 PM, will target a broader audience, focusing on closing the “back door” of the church with vital small groups, in general, and through Sermon-Based Small Groups, in particular.  Dr. Osborne will speak to the vision of Sermon-Based Small Groups noting the biblical, theological, and modern trends rationale undergirding it.  Through this grant year, Northwest has begun to realize the potential for health that Sermon-Based Small Groups offer, both on the personal level and to the entire church.

Saturday, June 4^th, 9:00-11:15 AM, will target specifically small group leaders, hosts, apprentices, and anyone interested in starting a new group.  This session will focus on nuts and bolts implementation, providing a critique and response to Northwest’s Sermon-Based Small Groups pilot project model.  This session will be more interactive between speaker and audience as leaders dialogue about the details of leading a Sermon-Based Small Group.

This event is made possible through a Worship Renewal Grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Grand Rapids, Michigan, with funds provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc.
