Wow! REAL2018 was wonderful - Praise God!
Thank you for coming, for being hungry, expectant, responsive.
Thank you to our team of preachers - I loved serving alongside my supportive sisters - "Strength in depth" (apparently an Irish rugby term!) I loved how personal vulnerability and God's Word went hand in hand.
Thank you to our Kerith women who shared their stories with such grace.
Thank you to all who took part in our Seminars - humbly sharing what God's been teaching you, and encouraging others to live with hope, for whatever stage of life they are in.
Thank you to all who helped us actually put REAL on - to those who served throughout the conference days with such commitment, joy and energy (in the heat!) ; the prayer teams; the "bringers of fun"; the Hospitality teams. Thank you to all who served and planned for many days and weeks - to our wonderful Worship and Production teams, who blessed us so much; to all the creative teams, all those involved in planning and organisation.
All of these elements came together to create the space for us to really enjoy being together as a group of women, and to powerfully encounter God.
Its very much a prayerful labour of love, and I'm so grateful to God, and for all who created REAL2018
Time now for rest, recuperation and reflection; for thanks and celebration.It's also time to keep on keeping close to God - to keep asking Him to speak and lead - we need Him daily.

It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,"
