The word "COME" is an invitation from God's heart to ours. To draw near...as we are, weary, hopeful, to find what our spirits long for.
We invite you to COME and set 24 hours aside to soak in the presence of God with other like minded women who love and believe in you.
Come and receive input from speakers who have prayed and laboured to bring just the right word in this season.
Shine Kids sessions run in conjunction with all conference sessions.
Register your children 3 years (and toilet trained) to 12 years and they too will have the opportunity to learn about the love of God for them and his invitation for them to Come to him. The program includes praise and worship, games and learning from the Bible.
A Personal Invitation to Shine
from Host, Pastor Bron Bonnell
Dear Friends,
Shine Women's Conference originated in 2011, at the Town Hall in Tamworth. I was more surprised than anyone that I felt compelled to start a women's conference, having never done any form of women's ministry before.
13 years on, I am flabbergasted at all that God has done. Every year we hear stories of women encountering God's heart for them, whether in worship, or through His Word, or at lunchtime as someone says something to them that resonates and drops into their heart.
God loves His daughters, and everything we do at Shine is to put that on display. It is not about a speaker we bring in (though we prayerfully consider every invitation), it is not about an opener (though we put great thought into setting up our time!), it is about bringing glory to Jesus, and making Him known in the hearts of women from everywhere.
You are invited, you are welcome, you are included.
