Live, Laugh, Belong

With lighthearted icebreaker games and shared silliness, we’ll create space for new friendships and a deeper sense of community. Whether you recognize many faces or none at all, this session reminds us that belonging often begins with laughter and listening and letting ourselves be known.
Belonging to the Story of God
Jenn Mortag
Belonging to the Story of God
Jenn Mortag
From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells one unfolding story—God relentlessly pursuing His people. In this breakout, join Vicar Jenn in tracing the sweeping arc of the Bible and discover how it isn’t just their story… it’s yours. Come see how your life, questions, and calling are written into God’s redemptive narrative—and why belonging to Him changes everything.
Belonging to Unanswered Prayers
Opal Stone
Belonging to Unanswered Prayers
Opal Stone
Sometimes the prayers God (seemingly) doesn’t answer are actually answers to prayers we didn’t yet know to pray. In this breakout session, Opal Stone, owner of Wild & Precious, a local small business, and mom of 4 invites women to reflect on seasons when God felt silent and explore how His work was unfolding all along. Through personal story, reflection, and a meaningful interactive exercise, this session encourages participants to look back with gratitude, trust God in present challenges, and open their eyes, hearts, and ears to the beauty that exists alongside the hard and the dark. A reminder that even when prayers feel unanswered, God is still working.

Daughter Rise

Daughter Rise
Elizabeth Njedlo
In this breakout, Elizabeth invites women to step into the truth of who they are through the eyes of Jesus. Using the story of the bent-over woman in Luke 13, Daughter, Rise explores how shame, labels, and life’s wounds can quietly shape our spiritual posture—causing us to live looking down instead of standing tall. Through Scripture, personal storytelling, and reflection, this talk reveals the tenderness of Jesus: how He sees, calls, touches, and names His daughters, restoring dignity and identity one layer at a time.
Seeing Clearly
Karen Hassman
Seeing Clearly
Karen Hassman
Finding our identity in Christ is not accomplished through spending time observing ourselves. It is only as we shift our gaze to the fullness of God that we become a true reflection of God's image in the world. Join Karen Hassman (MA Spiritual Formation) as she reframes the search for our identity in Christ and invites us to sharpen our spiritual vision in order to find God's identity in us.

Delve into what it means to belong to God in practical, lived ways by learning to practice being His in everyday life. In this experiential session, Patti will guide you through tangible practices that help you abide in His presence, choose your identity as His daughter, and begin releasing the labels and expectations placed on you by the world. You’ll walk away with tools you can carry into daily life—grounding your belonging not just in belief, but in faithful, intentional action.

Belonging in a Shifting Sea
Melissa Nelson
Belonging in a Shifting Sea
Melissa Nelson
Dr. Melissa Nelson invites us to find solid ground when the world feels filled with uncertainty, heartbreak, and change. Together, we’ll explore how belonging allows hope to speak louder than the heaviness found in our culture—or even within ourselves. And when faith in belonging feels thin, we’ll ask the honest question: what do we do next, and what does belonging look like in action?
Faith, Loyalty, and Belonging

Faith, Loyalty, and Belonging

Do you like romance novels and Hallmark movies? Did you know the Bible has a Romance story in it? Join us as we explore the journey of Ruth from grief and loss to faith and loyalty to belonging and blessing! Just like with Hallmark movies -- we know she'll end up with Mr. Right, but the story is in how she gets there!
