“And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:2
RENEW Women’s Conference – a one-day Christian women’s conference held in beautiful upstate New York just as the fall season begins. It offers Bible teaching, Christ-centered worship, and sweet fellowship with women from Northeastern US. Women of all ages – teen through adulthood – as well as nursing mothers and their infants are warmly welcomed.
In recent years this conference has been hosted by First Baptist Church of Johnson City, New York. In 2023 it will be offered in 3 locations to better serve the women throughout the Northeast Fellowship regions.
- September 23, 2023 Grace Baptist Church, 238 Vine Street, Batavia, NY
- September 30, 2023 First Baptist Church of Memphis, 1960 W Genesee Turnpike, Elbridge, NY
- October 7, 2023 First Baptist Church, 9 Astor Drive, Rhinebeck, NY
2023 THEME: “READ…WRITE…RENEW”
Written messages surround us in this Age of Information, many without our input, but others transmitted on the pages of the books and the websites we choose to read. We read for pleasure, for growth, to broaden our horizons and “walk” in the shoes of those we otherwise may not meet. Of all the books, we read, the Book of books – God’s Word – is the source of all truth and provides the answers to life’s deepest concerns.
This year’s keynote speakers and select workshop leaders are authors of books and blogs who will share from that perspective. For some attendees, this conference may offer encouragement to take the next step in writing for publication or for pleasure. Has God placed this burden on your heart as well?
Whatever your inclinations toward reading and writing, the hope is that you will allow your meditations to conform with God’s truth, that you may “be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2, ESV)
