It’s been 3 years since we’ve been together in this way – it’s time to reconnect! Come for part or all of this year's gathering, which includes ice breakers, presentation, lunch, and worship. We’ll have conversation in large and small groups. This is a wonderful way to get to know other women from BSPC.

Our theme is Emotions in the Psalms. When was the last time you said, “God, I am angry at you”? 

Leadership will be provided by Ann Palmerton and the Rev. Dr. Rachel Wrenn, Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Capital University.
