Hey Girls,
ARISE 2010 Conference & Autism Awareness
Guess where I’m going to be next week???
I have the great honor & privilege of speaking at the Arise 2010 Women’s Conference at Our Savior’s Church in Lafayette, LA. Michelle Aranza — who has been a guest speaker for Healing Place Women — is hosting this amazing event and it’s not too late for you to register!
Simply go to the ARISE 2010 website and click on the “Register” link at the top. The conference takes place from March 11th through March 13th. You can register for individual sessions or the full conference. There is even a group option! It would be awesome if you could attend this conference, girls! I know you would love it and I would love seeing you there!!!
Girls, there is another special opportunity I want to mention… Did you know that our governor has declared the month of April as “Autism Awareness Month”? Well, there is a precious young lady named Mila who serves, faithfully, on the HP Kids Worship Team and a support team has been formed for her at the Inaugural Greater Baton Rouge Autism Awareness Walk & Fun Day. This awesome event will take place on Saturday, March 20th, and our very own Cooking For Christ will be serving up the Jambalaya!
Girls, we need more volunteers to sign up to walk in honor of Mila!! It’s sure to be great fun and it’s for an important cause… If you would like to support Mila, just go to: Families Helping Families of Greater Baton Rouge to register!
Love, DeLynn
Friendship, Faith, & Favor!
Hey Beautiful Girls,
Wasn’t Elizabeth’s message on “Embracing Friendships” just so awesome, Sunday night? I hope you took some good notes!! As women, we can never underestimate the power of friendships. If you missed it — or you’d like to hear it again — you can! This Friday at 8 pm, you can watch the service from this past Sunday night online, and there will even be an interactive chat room so you can discuss the message with your girlfriends! To join in, simply go to http://online.healingplacechurch.org a little ahead of time (before 8:00) and click on the link for “HP Women Online Special Event.”
Girls, I know your hearts — like mine — have been broken for the impoverished nation of Haiti. There’s great pain in that broken country right now and still so much that needs to be done. We must hold out faith for those who have lost it. It may be that you have considered going on a missions trip there, possibly this year… I want to let you know about an important training event which you must attend in order to participate in any HPC Missions trip. Whether you are interested in going to Haiti or Africa, or anywhere else, you will need to attend the HPC Global Workshop which is being held this Saturday from 9 AM-12 PM in the Highland sanctuary. There, you will learn everything you need to know in order to participate in these amazing outreaches.
And let’s not forget: This weekend is our annual Kingdom Builder’s Commitment Weekend!! I am so excited about all of us coming together to pledge our support for God’s house! We have been shown amazing favor during this time of growth, and I just know that God has even more in store for us as we prepare to move into our new building. And you definitely won’t want to miss the announcement for our move-in dates & spring services schedule! This is what we have been believing for, girls! Pray about your own family’s Kingdom Builders pledge for 2010 and come ready to celebrate God’s goodness and blessings upon our church!
Love you all,
DeLynn

Secure In His Goodness
Sometimes it seems like everything happens at once. Bills are due, the kids are sick, the car breaks down… The pressures of life and attacks from the enemy threaten to overwhelm us. But this doesn’t have to be the case, girls! In Psalms 117 & 118, God’s Word promises that the Lord is always with us and “His love endures forever.” He is our strength and our song; no matter what the world dishes out, we are secure in His goodness. The burdens of today will become the testimonies of our tomorrow! You can rest in that!
TODAY, start thanking God and giving Him praise for His goodness. Even in the midst of the madness, thank Him for His faithfulness & know that He is your protection and peace.
Girls, I want to let you know about another exciting opportunity for you. Nationally known speaker, author, and singer — Jennifer Rothschild — will be holding a women’s conference in New Orleans this spring! This event from Fresh Grounded Faith will feature such special guests as: Lisa Welchel, former television actress-turned-author and local news anchor and author, Sally Ann Roberts. Also featured are worship leader, Alicia Williamson Garcia and recording artist, Michael O’Brien!
This amazing event will take place April 9-10, 2010 at the First Baptist Church of New Orleans. Tickets can be purchased online through the First Baptist Church website or by mail. Group tickets are also available for purchase. For more details, go HERE and then click on the “New Orleans, LA” link in the left sidebar.

Healing Place Women Special Online Event!
