'Dazzling Grace'
>>
Eastern Territory holds first women's conference
"I
INSIDE
feel so honored and blessed to have
been able to attend. I've been given
a fresher and a God–focused outlook and
I'm looking forward to applying it to my
life every day because I have been forever
'dazzled' by his grace." This comment is
just one of many positive responses to
the recent Eastern Territorial Women's
Conference entitled "Dazzling Grace." As
many as 2,000 women came together to
worship at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey,
Pa., from October 3–6.
Based on Ephesians chapter 2:6–8,
"God can do anything you know—far
more than you could ever imagine or
guess or request in your wildest dreams!"
(The Message), Conference speakers and
special guests moved delegates to tears,
to joy, and to spiritual victory in ways that
they had yet to imagine.
From the welcome reception on Thursday evening to the cello solo "Amazing
Grace" at the close of the conference, the
worship of God dazzled the delegates.

Commissioner Sue E. Swanson, territorial
president for women's organizations;
special guest Nicole Johnson, author and
dramatist; as well as Colonel Marcella
Carlson, territorial secretary for women's
organizations, led the conference from
conception until its climactic ending.
The performance of Ballet Magnificat!
on Saturday evening beautifully segued
into a marvelous Sunday morning worship.
