All Things Lovely
March 17, 2012

We, the women’s team of The Way of Holiness, are, once again, pleased to invite you to our annual spring women’s conference. This year’s theme is All Things Lovely. Our theme scripture is Whatsoever things are lovely...think on these. Philippians 4:8.

Each year we strive to provide a day that glorifies and lifts up the name of Jesus. Our speakers and worship leader are called and anointed by God to bless and encourage the saints. Our prayer is that each attendee will experience the manifest presence of the Lord, walking away from the conference with a greater appreciation for all our God is. May each be blessed for their effort to lay aside a Saturday and come to be ministered to, refreshed, and encouraged and more importantly-worship God!

Our featured speaker, once again, is Rita Robinson from Meadowbrook, West Virginia. Rita fills the house with laughter and yet brings a timely, anointed Word of God. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll be touched by God’s lovely presence. If you have never heard Rita, we encourage to come. You will know that you have heard a word straight from the mouth of God.

Our worship leader is Dave Marsh from Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. Dave is the pastor of Crossroads Christian Center in Deep Creek. He is also a very anointed and talented musician and worship leader. Pastor Dave will also be teaching a workshop entitled, “His Lovely Praise.” Come and join us as we worship God in the “beauty of holiness.”

We have six workshops to offer this year: Lovely Contemplation, See-Through Vision, His Lovely Praise, Only Skin Deep?-Clothed in Beauty, An Exquisite Fragrance, and Dark but Lovely. Our speakers are some of the best in the area!

Our men’s ministry will be serving lunch. If you do not care for the lunch being provided, you are welcome to bring your own and dine with us in our fellowship hall. Our men will still serve you with dessert and your choice of drink.

We try to focus each year on a closer walk with God. Our conference is designed to minister to women of all ages and all walks of life. We see our conference as a ministry to reach God’s beautiful ladies, our sisters in Christ. May we uphold each other and be a help and encouragement to one another. That is our ministry. We all desperately need Jesus and need to see Him in all His glory. We are praying for each of you– that you will come and join us as we approach His throne and seek His lovely face.
Hope to see you! Be blessed!

“Grace by Faith” ladies dance team was organized in 2006. The Lord impressed upon these ladies a longing for more freedom in worship and a desire to minister through dance. “Grace by Faith” has become a group of “sisters” unified as a family, holding each other accountable, encouraging, and showing compassion and unconditional love in times of need. They do not only minister to others but also to each other. Their main focus is to glorify the Lord. The Lord has brought them through many bumps in the road but in the process of traveling that road, he has also opened many doors for ministering opportunities throughout our local and surrounding areas. Each dance has been a gift that God has given to “Grace by Faith” in order to reach out and bless you with God’s love and express his desire for us to worship him in freedom. May you be blessed and God be glorified.

Workshops

"Lovely Contemplations" Just as there are many choices of fashion and purpose in the shoes we purchase, so there are many paths that the Lord can lead us down. Find out how you can be "soled" out making your individual pathway a lovely one. Fashion and purpose determine our choices of footwear, but God’s will and direction of the Holy Spirit determine the path we walk down in fulfilling God’s plan for our lives. Correct shoes make all the difference in the world. Are you "soled" out? What makes your feet beautiful? What goes into making your walk lovely? Most of us have done “spur of the moment” shopping. However, contemplation and seeing what lies ahead are required to have a lovely walk.
 

Judy Curtis

Judy was born and raised in a West Virginian Christian home, the daughter of a pastor. She was born again at age 7, married husband Jim at the age of 20. They both ran from the call of God on their lives. After coming back to the Lord and receiving the Baptism in the Holy Ghost, Judy served in the ministry of helps in several areas at her home church. She sang with the singing groups, “The Sojourners” and “The Curtis Family” traveling throughout the surrounding states. When her husband became fulltime pastor at New Covenant Church in Junior, she worked as a legal secretary while they served the congregation. Being a pastor’s wife, she was involved in several areas of ministry within the church. Judy also has experience speaking at church functions and ladies meetings.

Since its inception in 1999, Judy has been a part of West Virginia Christian University. She is Secretary-Treasurer of West Virginia Christian Ministries and works alongside her husband to see that the work of the university is effective. She loves intercessory prayer and feels the call to pray for the State of West Virginia. Her heart is to see folks know who they are “in Christ” and discipled so they can walk in the calling and purpose that God has for their lives. Judy says, “My desire is to see the Body of Christ experience the fullness of Christ and become mature in the things of God so that they are equipped to do the work of the ministry. God has many wonderful things in store for us, and I’m so glad He has allowed me to be a part of what is happening in the earth today.”

Judy has a large family of five children, thirteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Two of her children are ordained ministers. Terri, and husband, Terry Young are missionaries to Vietnam.
 

"See-Through Vision" As a bride walks down the aisle and begins a new journey in her life, there is only a veil that keeps her from seeing clearly and keep others from seeing her full beauty. As she is presented to her beloved, the veil is lifted, her vision is clear and her beauty revealed. Join me as we learn that as the veil is taken off the word of God, our vision changes and we can see the power, purpose and plan of God for His Bride.

"His Lovely Praise" Tummy tucks, Botox injections, Lipstick and a Hymnal?
We spend so much of our lives trying to improve our outward appearance. Thousands of dollars are spent each year attempting to "upgrade" our lives, but yet many of us still live a shallow, empty existence. Could it be the upgrade we seek really needs to happen from the inside out? When God called Israel out of Egypt, the people were enamored with the gold and the silver they took with them. They were excited about their future freedom and their trip to "promised land", but they missed the point that God called them out of bondage to..... worship.

As I look around the Church today, so many people are distracted and impressed by the glitter and sparkle of God's "blessings" but I think we've missed the call to worship. I'd love to have you be a part of my Worship Workshop, and who knows, one blessed participant might even receive a free bottle of my new WWJD spray on tan!

"Only Skin Deep - Clothed in Beauty" As a little girl growing up my mother used to tell me that "pretty is as pretty does". Have you even seen a woman who you thought was "drop dead" gorgeous - until she opened her mouth? Proverbs 11:22 says that a beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a ring of gold in a pig's snout. Again in I Peter 3:4 we are admonished to adorn the hidden person of the heart. In the "Only Skin Deep" workshop we will explore what the Bible teaches about beauty that radiates from the inside out.

Shelia enjoys music, worship and spending time with family and friends.

"An Exquisite Fragrance" Women are energized by romance. When we realize just how tenderly Jesus loves us, an amazing power in us is unleashed. Understanding the concept of Jesus as our bridegroom can transform our life! Come with me as we take a look into the love story of the Song of Solomon, as well as scriptures looking at incense and how this applies to us today. Together, let’s gaze into our bridegroom’s eyes and learn how to release our lives to be “an exquisite fragrance” to our God.

"Dark but Lovely" Whose world are we influencing with the Glorious Light of the Gospel? We are called to be world changers! Many of us continue to struggle with responding to this call and we struggle in the dark because we have not accepted that we have been made worthy to carry the light to a lost and dying world....your world...wherever YOU are. Fear, insecurity and comparing ourselves have held us back far too long...it's time to get up, carry your light and "Run to the Darkness"!

"Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world"
