MomLife BootCamp 2012 Schedule

MOMLIFE BOOTCAMP

Upon check in Friday between 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm enjoy a stroll around The Shores before we feast on a wonderful dinner followed by a speaker session and some night time fun.

Saturday morning we’ll have breakfast together and gather for a speaker session and then you can choose from several small group break out sessions. We’ll then enjoy a hearty lunch and an afternoon filled with a multitude of choices for fun activities and fellowship…or you can just sit and visit with new found friends. Saturday night we will have a sa-weet dinner (that you do not have to make or clean up!) and a wonderful panel discussion with some amazing moms… followed by a Splash Dance Party with late nite treats!

Sunday will culminate with a come and go continental breakfast and then we will gather together for a powerful message that will equip and encourage us as we prepare to get back home to our families. After that final message we will enjoy a magnificent final farewell epic brunch before our tearful goodbyes…with hugs and promises to stay in touch and gather together again next year!

Friday Night

Tracey Eyster, Creator & Editor of MomLife Today  – “Pour The Water”

Tracey will welcome us, introduce our panel of moms, and set the stage for a weekend of God centered thirst quenching!  As the mother of teens she has learned all too well the importance of attitude in daily momlife.  She will share a pivotal truth God taught her through John 2 and provide you with a deeper look at God’s calling on our lives as moms and the truth of what He has called us to do every day in our homes.

Saturday Morning

Crystal Paine, Money Saving Mom – “Refreshing Waters for Parched and Weary Women”

As busy women with long, never-ending to-do lists, we often find ourselves weary, exhausted, and overwhelmed. And yet we continue to have to give, even when we feel completely wrung out, dried up, and withered.  Crystal, through John 7:37-38, will share practical ways that we, as women, can keep ourselves filled up and refreshed so that we have energy, joy, and strength to be conduits of Christ’s love to all God has called us to minister to.

Sunday Morning

Barbara Rainey – CoFounder of FamilyLife and renowned author, speaker and artist.  “The Path To Living Water” a walk through John 9.

Through 35 years of ministry and raising six children Barbara has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, but through it all has always rested in the knowledge that good would come from every life experience.  She will share with us her perspective, illustrated beautifully through John 9 of how as moms God’s path for us may not be the easiest, or the most direct, but it strengthens us and leads to abundant life.

 

Now THAT sounds like a Mom Life Boot Camp worth gathering a group of friends to attend! Did someone say road trip?!
