You’re once, twice, three times a ministry wife…
Here’s a thought: if preaching is going to flourish, then preachers need to flourish. If married preachers are going to flourish, then their wives need looking after too. There are remarkably few initiatives that even try to do this – and that’s why our wives conferences are both so important and so popular. In fact, our Spring conference (7-10 March) is pretty much sold out (just one or two spaces remaining) and our Summer conference (4-7 July) for those whose husbands are in the early years of ministry will soon start filling up.
And it’s why we’ve added a third. Starting this autumn we’re trying something new – a weekend wives conference. In one sense this is just like the others – it’s for preachers wives to come and be encouraged, pray together, learn together and have fun together. But we’ve scheduled it for a weekend because we know midweek is just too hard for some: it may be paid employment, it may be home schooling – a host of things, in fact, which make midweek difficult and add a whole other set of pressures to being a ministry wife.
That’s why we need this extra conference.
It’s going to be at Horwood House near Milton Keynes – we’ve tried to find somewhere reasonably central and a venue that will pamper already tired bodies and minds. This is it! The dates are 7-9 October 2016 and it may be just the thing you or your spouse have been waiting for. Spaces are limited so book soon. And pass it on.
