A Princess? No Way, Not Me!
Stephanie McConachie
Is that how most of us feel most of the time?  I have great news! A princess we are! I know it is hard to believe. So I invite you to join me in investigating HOW we can be princesses!

A Thirst for Balance
Lisa Beets
Explore the firm foundation that helps us, as busy women, keep our lives balanced; including some practical organization & time management tips.

The Abundant Life- Filled to Overflowing
Gloria Garner
A look at what Jesus had to say about the Holy Spirit, what He does (or wants to do) in our lives, and how we can live the abundant life because of Him.

All the King’s Quilts
Beth Cochran
If you could create a quilt to represent your life, what would it look like?  What patterns, fabrics, textures, and colors would we see?  Joy, sorrow, celebration, pain…they’re all in there somewhere.  Join us as we take a look at the elements that shape the quilts of our lives, and at the Master Designer who can fashion something beautiful out of all of them. 

Beautiful Feet: A Day Spa for your Soul
Kathryn Graves
This spa-themed hour will lead you into spiritual beauty and wholeness by focusing on a prayer makeover.

Blessed to be a Blessing
Marca Deiumund
We have been blessed by our Heavenly Father and now it is our responsibility to pass on the blessings of love, acceptance and faith. We’ll look at the principals of the “Biblical Blessing” and how to apply these principles to your everyday life, to bless those who need your special blessing in their lives.

Breaking the Power of the Past
Jeanie Roten
Have you suffered pain at the hands of another?  Have you struggled with how to forgive?  Dating back to the days of Cain and Abel, lack of forgiveness has destroyed relationships.  Through this conference we will begin to learn how to unleash the power of forgiveness in our lives, letting it propel us out of painful and awkward situations and freeing us from the pain of the past.

Cardio Wake-up Call
Debbie Eble
Early Birds get the worm because they get up and get moving.  Here’s your chance to jumpstart your metabolism, improve mental clarity and mood all day long!
Come as you are (but wear tennis shoes) and join me for a “just havin’ fun” workout.  Life is what you make it—Make it Fit 4 Him!

Dare to be Disciplined
Debbie Eble
Wouldn’t it be great if Christians led the way in the health field for taking care of our bodies?
God commands us to be a disciplined people.  This sensuous age forgets that feelings come and feelings go, but the disciplines of life are what get you where you want to go.

The “E” Word
Dianna Bartel
Evangelism in Events: using ministry events to reach out to the women of your community. How to do it, not be afraid of it and succeed at it!

Empowering Women (Poorest of the Poor) in India
Padma Bogard
Women are the main caregivers, responsible for all of the family’s basic needs. Through Spiritual, Physical and Economic Development we are equipping women to transform their communities from the inside out. The first two women converts went back into their community and organized 4,000 women to receive the Good News.

Finding Passion and Purpose for the Second Half of Life
Gloria Burk
This presentation will help mature women see how God has used them in the past and encourage them to take a fresh look at how God can give them peace, power and purpose in midlife and beyond.

Heart Tiles
Jamie Speak Wooten
What is behind the layers in your heart?  What is preventing you from experiencing the shower of His abundant love flowing deep within?  We’ll use Hosea 10:12 to discover how God desires to peel back those heart layers and tiles that restrict you from being who He created you to be and shower you with His healing love.

He Restores My Soul
Brooke Seager
Have you ever been weary? Does your soul need rest? Looking at Psalm 23, we’ll explore God’s process of restoring our souls.

Home Evangelism and a Cup of Coffee
Cheryl VanBebber
Are you tired of sitting around and wondering how you are going to minister to people who live around you? Well wonder no more. It’s time to get on your feet and place your life before God and walk the walk. You will be changed from the inside out and watch as God takes you from your comfort zone and leads you on a journey you will never forget. Hold on and embrace what God does for you.

Intimacy in our Marriage
Debra Bonds
We have dispelled the myths, then heated up the kitchen.  Is there anything else?  Join us to see, hear, leave and take away…

Joy Comes in the Morning
Leslie Hazelet
Do you believe in fairy tale endings?  You know, the kind where everyone lives happily ever after.  Life isn’t a fairy tale though, or is it?  This workshop on Philippians is designed to show us how, even when circumstances in life seem to be going all wrong, they can still have a happy ending.  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Keeping our Focus
Nancy Manford
Our focus—our mission—is to share God’s love with others here and around the world.  But sometimes in our busy daily lives our focus seems to blur.  Let’s look at what the Bible says; then we can keep our focus on His plan for our lives and for the world.

Let Me Love You with Rocks or Red Kool-Aid
Rhonda Davis
Do you love, want to be loved?  How do you love?  Is it ordinary love, love that is bland, or is it bruising love or staining love?  Sometimes in life, just like the Samaritan woman at the well, we experience all of these kinds of love.  The question is, what kind of love do you want to love with?

Life on the Flip-side
Ann Dunn
Have you blown it? Have the choices, situations, or circumstances in your life been less than desirable, falling short of righteous? Is God still able to use you? Does He even want to use you? What is your role now? If these thoughts have tormented you, come join us as we explore God’s heart of grace and redemption in the life of a woman who chose to take God at His word.

Listening to the Heart of God
Dianna Bartel
Preparing ourselves in prayer to go and do what God asks of us.

Medical Missions in Peru: A Personal Experience
Maxine Thorne and Gloria Burke
Two BNF members will share highlights and experiences of a recent medical mission trip to Peru. Topics will include tips on getting ready, lessons learned, and the blessings received by ministering and sharing Christ in another culture.

Mormonism! Spilling Over with False Doctrine
Lavonne James
We will look at its beginning, basic doctrines, why they do what they do, and what to do when they knock on your door.

Necessary Heart Sweeping
Joy McLain
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 KJV
If you are experiencing frustration and defeat in your spiritual life, you are not alone.  Come and hear the good news of how God can sweep your heart clean of the dust and cobwebs that have gathered within it and how your relationship with Him can be renewed.

Understanding Covenant
Rexan Gerard
“Everything God does,” writes Kay Arthur, “is based on His covenant.” It’s the missing piece to understanding our relationship with Him.  As we discover the truth of God’s covenant, we will understand how the concept permeates everything God says in His Word and everything He does in our lives.

What’s Spilling Out?
Patty Wilcox
A look at what the Bible says should be flowing from us versus what is actually coming out of us.

“Where He Leads Me. . .’
Brenda Lee
Who will you meet today? Tomorrow? Who needs to know the Lord? Will you take the first step to share his love? This conference is not a guilt trip, it is a wake up call. Come join God on the journey He’s already mapped out for you! Put feet to your faith!

Will They Ever Be Adults?
Cheryl Cooke
When does a child become an adult? What does that even look like? When does it start? What is my part as a parent? What does the Bible say? If you have a child of any age we will discover and explore ways to help them along the way to adulthood!!

Wives-Embrace the Call
Lorita Brazzle
Did you know you play a vital role in your husband becoming the man God created him to be? Are you willing to embrace that role, that call? We will look at some practical ways we can do that, as well as the challenges and blessings we might encounter along the way.
