We have a dynamic group of women joining us for the our Friday Conversation and Working Group.  We expect them to offer their experiences when they have worked through times of unknowing and waiting.  They will reflect on moments when they faced crossroads and what they risked, gained, and learned through their experiences.  They will touch on what inspires them and gives them hope for their future faith journey.
