2018 Convention Report
Living in the unchurched and non-religious Pacific Northwest, our women face many challenges to keeping their faith vibrant and visible while desiring to serve and minister to their church as well as be an influence for Christ to those around them. Because of the high cost of living, many, including our pastors’ wives, have to work, often to provide health insurance for their families. Facing these challenges, they often turn them into opportunities to grow and to be a light. Our PRN women are active in teaching, leading, hosting, and hospitality in Sunday school, Youth, VBS, Bible Camp, Bible Studies, Senior Groups, Mexico Mission trip, fundraisers, weddings, funerals and worship teams, just to name a few, while remaining intentional and purposeful in their everyday lives at work and at home. But, we can get weary doing this alone. We all need encouragement in our faith walk and equipping as to how to be the salt and light. This is where the planning and provisions of gatherings, events, and retreats for our women can have an important role and responsibility.
June 30, 2017 - We held our PRNWM’s Annual meeting at Warm Beach Bible Camp during our region’s week of family camp. Angela Cassin, a Certified Mediator and Conflict Coach, talked with us about “Comparison Shopping for Spiritual Gifts.” There was a special prayer of commissioning for Chrissy Gelmini, Carrie Leingang and myself (Sue Olson) before leaving for 16 days in July to help Joel and Liz in China.
October 6-8, 2017 – Maple Park Lynnwood CLB women hosted our PRNWM’s Fall Retreat at Lakeside Bible Camp. Alyssa McIvor brought messages on Peace with God, Peace with others and the world and Peace with circumstances. Angela Cassin led a workshop related to Conflict Resolution. I’d highly recommend both Alyssa and Angela as speakers/teachers at your events and retreats.
January 5-7, 2018 -With a very special gift designated towards our PRN Pastors’ Wives Retreat, we were able to stay at the beautiful retreat center Rainbow Lodge for the weekend and invite Kathryn Wile to come and share about how God speaks to us.
April 21, 2018 – PRNWM hosted an afternoon event at Rock of Ages CLB in Seattle where CLB National Women’s Ministries Chairperson Barbara Heggland came to take us through an overview of the Old Testament and teach us doctrinal discernment tools.
June 29, 2018 – Will be our PRNWM’s Annual meeting at Warm Beach Bible Camp with National Women’s Ministries Director Ruth Vallevik joining us with a message about “What is the Word and What Does it Do?” Voting will take place for newly nominated team members.
October 19-21, 2018 – Peace CLB women of Olympia are hosting our PRNWM’s Fall Retreat at Black Lake Bible Camp. The theme is “Encouragers for Life.” Karen Stenberg and Andrea Bernard will be sharing about their long term and long-distance friendship and how it is an encouragement to them.
