Pre-Conference Ministry Luncheons
As part of our Regional Conference kickoff, we are hosting a special luncheon on Monday at 12:30 PM. Senior Pastors and spouses are invited to join Pastor Steve & Becky Riggle for an encouraging time of vision-sharing and connection, while Worship Leaders and Worship Team Members will enjoy a dedicated lunch filled with fellowship and inspiration. This is a wonderful way to connect, refresh, and prepare our hearts for all that God will do during the conference.
For more information or to RSVP, please contact Shari May at sharimay@gracewoodlands.com. Please be sure to indicate which lunch you will be attending on your registration form.
YOU’RE INVITED!
