Women’s Luncheon

Friday, July 27, 12:15 PM–1:45 PM
Westin edmonton: british columbia, alberta, & yukon meeting space

Pre-registration required, badge required for entrance.

As Isaiah 64:8 tells us, we are clay in the hands of the Master Potter. God is constantly shaping us into the finished product He has in mind for us. This lunch together will be a time of connecting with other women of the NAB and being inspired by our speakers, Heather Hayashi and Debbie Mueller. Heather is the author of two books, 31 Days of Christmas and Pray Any Way, with a third forthcoming. She lives with a chronic illness and pain and has come to love God deeply through this experience. Debbie has a passion for a deep relationship with God and for walking alongside others with a similar heart. For the past twelve years, she has worked as a ceramicist.

“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”

Isaiah 64:8 (NIV)
