COMMUNITY OF WOMEN MINISTERS

The Community of Women Ministers (CWM) has existed for many years to support and bless each other as women in ministry. We invite all women in ministry to join us. At this gathering, Amy Bost (Henegar) will lead us in a time of welcome, embrace, and reflection as we seek to support each other and grow in community with one another. We will enjoy dinner together in Packer Forum on the second floor of the Brown Library. At this year’s gathering, we will also honor Jeanene Reese and her work creating the Center for Women in Christian Ministry at ACU.

CHAPLAINS LUNCH

We would like to invite all chaplains and anyone interested in learning more about chaplaincy to join us for lunch hosted by the Siburt Institute Chaplains Fellowship. Lunch will be in the Smart Room, which is located in the World Famous Bean. Join us for a meal, a short presentation with time for Q&A, and connection. You can receive a voucher for lunch at the registration table.

ANCHOR POINT, FEATURING NIJAY GUPTA

All Summit participants will gather for an evening that we call Anchor Point. We will share a wonderful catered dinner and hear from noted scholar, author, and speaker Nijay Gupta, Ph.D. Then we will conclude with praise and worship. From 6:00-6:15 p.m., we will enjoy a time of fellowship. Dinner will be served beginning at 6:15 p.m.
