A Weekend to Remember Who We Are

 

In a world that moves fast and asks much, we pause.

We gather.

We remember.

 

The 2026 Disciples Women’s Assembly invites women from across the Southwest Region to come together for a sacred weekend rooted in worship, reflection, creativity, and connection.

This year’s theme, Gratitude and Grace, draws us into the powerful witness of 2 Corinthians 4:“We have this treasure in clay jars…”

 

We carry treasure.

We live by grace.

We lead with gratitude.

 

Join us in Wichita Falls for a Spirit-filled gathering that will renew your faith and strengthen your connection to women across the region.

Rev. Alice Hupp – Ministry Outreach Opportunity (will be both sessions)

This will be a walking/talking/traveling session experiencing the Ministry Outreach activities of Park Place Christian Church: Prayer Garden, Community Garden, All Inclusive Playground, Autism Clinic and

proposed future ministries. You will hear all about their ministries and what went into building them. There will be time for questions and answers, as well as discussion. Come to this session to learn what Park Place is doing and get ideas. Please note this opportunity will take both break-out time slots, so you will only sign up for it.

 

Casey Tanguay – Contemplative Creations (craft fee at event)

What helps you find your “center”?

We will explore the intersection between art and spirituality while engaging in contemplative centering practices together. You don’t have to consider yourself an “artist” to participate! Our Great Creator gifted us with creativity and invites us all to co-create!

Art! Prayer! Meaningful conversation! Friends! What more could you want?!

 

Melissa Hohnholt – Prayer-Lectio Divina

Join us for a gentle breakout session exploring Lectio Divina — a simple, prayerful way of listening to Scripture. As we reflect, we’ll slow down, notice where gratitude is growing, and discover how grace is quietly at work in us. Come breathe, listen, and be renewed.
