It's that time again... holidays are over...the new year is in full swing...and the spring women's event is just around the corner!

Angie and I and our precious team are scrambling, researching, meeting, and dreaming...finding shirts, talking to choreographers, photographers, and carpenters, and working to bring you [our lovely women of nlc] a night that will inspire and challenge us all to engage in changing our worlds with the love of God in 2010.

Above, you will see one of our beautiful photos from our latest shoot. John Newberry, our photographer, was simply amazing to work with. Our women were all smiles as we had them frolic, twirl, and skip in 40 degree weather for a few hours...what troopers! We had a blast as drivers slowed (or sometimes whistled and yelled) as our women pranced with giant rainbow umbrellas through the downtown streets. So much fun!

Women, we have so many reasons to gather...Haiti needs our help...we need to hear from God for this next year...we need to laugh, worship and just be together!

Christine Caine will be with us again...yay! She, of course, will bring another powerful life-changing word that sounds even more convicting in her oh-so-coveted Austrailaian accent.

Tell all your friends...even someone God may lay on your heart who needs a night like this. The date is Feb. 28, 2010. The time is 7pm. The event is "She...awakens her world." Stay tuned for even more details to come...

Cheers to you all,

Rebecca Shatswell

Hello my Amazing Women,

How are you? I hope your summers have been filled with a little less stress, and many good memories. We are enjoying our last few summer nights around here as the early mornings of backpacks, missing socks, and cheerios begin again around my house.

I am so excited that our next women's event is almost here! Our last event "Emerge" was beyond amazing! I was mesmerized from the beginning with precious Hayden Noblit singing in her red tutu to the fabulous dancers that followed, and then came such powerful worship! God filled the room and our hearts with His love ... bringing healing, courage, and confidence. Can it get any better than that?

Our newest upcoming event will be called "WOMAN: I dwell in possibility." For this season, I've been thinking: If you could see your life through God's eyes, what do you think you would see? I think you would see so much more of what is POSSIBLE. So, come dream with me ... and let us together, "dwell in possibility".

Mark it on your calendar - Sunday, September 27 at 7:00 p.m. Priscilla Shirer will be our guest speaker; she is energetic and dynamic. She speaks about her life and the Word of God with attitude and authority. I just love her and know you will too!

I am looking forward to another spectacular night with you and your friends!

Love you all,

Michelle
