General Conference of the Seventh Day Baptists of USA and Canada 2018 at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI, was an exciting time filled with opportunity, fun, and meaning. Many events were attended by all—such as evening worship, workshops, business meetings, meals, and the 5K! Women did have several special events just for them including:
• Women’s Choir (every afternoon)
• The annual Women’s Society Meeting (Monday evening)
• Women’s Interest Committee (Tuesday and Wednesday)
• Women’s Banquet (Wednesday evening)
The Women’s Banquet Wednesday evening was definitely a highlight of the week. It had a nautical theme which was perfect for our locale, right on Lake Michigan. There was a photo booth and there were sacks of candy for a favors. We were blessed to have the author Lori Roeleveld as our speaker for the evening, sharing an excerpt from one of her books on “Invisibility.”
The Women’s Society also had the distinct honor of presenting two awards at the awards ceremony on Sabbath afternoon: a new award—W.I.S.E. (Women in Incognito Service Everywhere) to Brenda Rankhorn, and to Amanda Snyder the Robe of Achievement.
