Our Prayer

Father, we pray for the women that new love hope, and faith draw them, Lord.

Help us show them how to run after you God.

Sisters if you're doubting that your loved or need help to love others you need to be there.

If your feel hopeless or need hope you need to be there.

If you need to renew your faith or learn how to stretch your faith you need to be there.

Come learn how to dig deep and weed the garden of your mind, heart and emotions.

 

Make plans Saturday March 1, 2025

Hi Sisters!

 

We’re thrilled you are attending BFA 2025. Please know our team has been praying for you as we prepare for this special weekend. Speaking of preparations, we thought you might be wondering about what to wear. Here’s our suggestions:

 

Friday night Tailgate wear your favorite team’s merch and stretchy pants. We’re all about comfort!

Saturday is casual. Layers are always good for conferences. The room can get cold. Some of us will be wearing our BFA T-shirts and jeans. The deadline for T-shirt orders is February 14. We will not have T-shirts for purchase at the event, so preorder if you want one. (The link is at the end of the email.) If you order one, you will receive your tee at registration Friday night.

The Garden Gala is an opportunity to dress up and feel pretty. Wear your favorite fancy outfit and a hat if you want. You’ll see everything from semi-formal to Easter dresses. Again, keep in mind the room can get cold.

Bring layers for the beach. Scarfs are always great this time of year. We never know if it will be warm or chilly.

 

Our conference room will be to the left as you walk into the hotel. Look for our BFA registration table down the hall past the restaurant.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions. We can’t wait to see you!

Love and blessings,

BFA Team
