On Friday, September 5^th, One hundred thirty women from Northern New England Conference and as far away as Massachusetts and New York, gathered together at our own "Camp Lawroweld" for the annual Women's Ministry Weekend.  The theme for the weekend was "SONflower Seeds".  The featured speaker was Ginnie Allen from the Pacific Northwest.  She was especially charismatic and animated.  Her talks were not only inspiring but applicable to our everyday lives.  Sherrie Shroader from Nashua, New Hampshire, shared her thoughts in a "good old fashioned bible study" format (as she called it) for Sabbath School study.  Her approach towards revealing the true gospel of Christ was especially enlightening.  Woodstock SDA had the largest group of women, totaling 20.  Their presence in the Staff House Cabin was made well known to the rest of the camp, as evidence by their roars of laughter and fun.  Their cabin became a magnet to others as the noise became contagious to the rest of the camp.  What a ministry in itself.   Other activities were enjoyed that weekend, including crafts, swimming, boating and hiking.  It was a weekend enjoyed immensely by all those who went.  Burna Wilson found the weekend to be "so uplifting and inspiring, very spiritual."  She described an "emphasis on commitment"   Burna certainly hopes to return next year and encourages women who can to also attend.  It will be a weekend you won't want to miss!
