Modern technology has provided us access to goods and services within reach of our fingertips, at laser fast speed. But a tradeoff is that within a world that is more digitally and globally connected than ever, we risk losing the face to face connections that nourish and enrich our lives.
Similarly, churches face challenges reaching out to both young and old alike, as they attempt to rekindle these relationships and build connections within the local community.
This quest has propelled Good Shepherd to embark on a Growing Young series. The goal is to raise awareness of this issue, as well as train people of all ages to reach out to other generations, both within the church and the surrounding community.
As part of this effort, our Women’s Ministries is featuring a special event for women of all ages. The She Grows Conference featuring Laurie Polich Short and Brooklyn Lindsey is coming to Good Shepherd on Friday evening Mar. 8, from 6:30-9:30 p.m.
Ms. Short is a speaker, author, and part time pastor of Ocean Hills Covenant Church in Santa Barbara, CA. Ms. Lindsey is a wife, mom, pastor, writer, and international communicator. Their focus centers on women’s desire to connect and mentor other women across generations, to be empowered to move forward together, while deepening their faith.
SheGrows is a Conference offering: Connection, Worship, Inspiration, and Motivation. Practical Help, Resources for your Relationships, Multi-Generational Immersion & Global Neighborhood Vision. All women are encouraged to attend from high school through retirement!
The event will be held at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, 11600 Los Alamitos Blvd., Los Alamitos, CA 90720. Interested persons can register at shegrowsconference.com.
Early bird price $39 if registered by 3/3/19 and for more information, contact carol@gspc.org.
