July Guest Speaker - Sarah Condie on strengthening our hearts by grace

So many of us women these days feel exhausted, don't we? We're constantly giving - to our families, our workplaces, our churches, our communities. Often we spend so much time caring for others, that our hearts grow weary. We know as Christians that we are saved by grace, but so often we try to live our day-to-day lives by our own strength. How can we instead learn to sustain ourselves by grace?

Hebrews 13:9 has been a great inspiration to our August guest speaker, Sarah Condie: "it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace." At this gathering, Sarah will share with us the story of Katherine Gell, a Puritan woman living in the 17th century, a woman who was committed to giving, to serving, and to the social good. And she'll share her own story of being a Christian woman in our times, and how she has learned to strengthen her own heart through the practice of Biblical meditation. Sarah will explain what Biblical meditation is, how to practice it, and why she thinks it's a key to spiritual wellbeing in our busy and demanding lives.

You’ll also have a chance to connect with other Christian women, enjoy some delicious food, and hear more about what The Greenhouse has to offer to women in different industries, workplaces, churches and stages of life. We’d love to have you join us!
