Women of Faith Cinematic Event

Spanning nearly 20 years,  Women of Faith has grown to become the largest, most well-known, non-denominational Christian's women's conference in North America. Created by Steven Arterburn, Women of Faith began with a group of friends, Lucy Swindoll, Patsy Clairmont, Thelma Wells, Sheila Walsh and Marilyn Meberg, sitting on a stage candidly chatting about their personal stories. The tears and laughter invoked also brought about an intimacy between the speakers and the audience that has impacted the lives of millions.

The tour, which has expanded to include speakers like Korie Robertson, Mary Graham, Sandi Patty, Jen Hatmaker, and many others over the years, is now on its final tour. However, a cinema event is scheduled for limited engagement for several nights. "An Amazing Joyful Journey" is a historical, and hysterical, look at the Women of Faith over the past two decades. Some of the most popular pieces from the speakers and musicians, plus never-before-seen interviews, outtakes, and behind the scenes footage will bring back memories for all those who have attended a Women of Faith weekend as well as create new memories for those experiencing it for the first time. 

 

Since I never had the chance to attend a Woman of Faith weekend, I am very excited that I am going to be able to attend one of the screenings of this film. This is a limited event to be held at select theaters only on February 18th, February 20th, March 3rd, and March 5th. To see where the nearest theater and date for you location, type in your city here. This is an end of an era for many as "THE" women's conference that has impacted millions of women and changed the course of how conferences are done.

Whether you are a veteran of one or more of the WOF weekends, or have never experienced one, this would be an amazing final opportunity to be a part of it. Thanks to the generosity of FlyBy Promotions and Fathom Events, I will be attending a screening at Carmike 12 - Decatur Mall with three family members. This would also be a fun event to attend with your Women's Ministry at church. Gather all the ladies for a fun night at the movies with a meal before or perhaps, a dessert party afterward (or both!). Depending on whether you attend a Thursday or a Saturday screening, there are any number of activities you can incorporate with a Girl's Night Out! If you have any ideas, please leave them as a comment. Just make sure you don't miss this marvelous movie filled with memories and special moments.

'Christian Women in Media 10th National Conference

The 10^th Annual Christian Women in Media (CWIMA) National Conference will be taking place April 3-5, 2014 in Dallas. Women from across the nation who work in the fields of media and entertainment will benefit from the educational media seminars, inspiring keynote sessions and uplifting music at this conference. Some attendees come from the 5 CWIMA Regional Connection cities of Dallas, Nashville, New York, Minneapolis and Hollywood or the 12 CWIMA Local Networks across the countryn but there are also those who will be attending their first-ever CWIMA event. All women are invited who impact our culture in media, entertainment and leadership. They do not need to be a member to attend.

The nights will be a time of food, fellowship, music, laughter, and the ever-popular "Jeans and Bling" event for down-home, good ol' fashioned Texas fun.
The afternoon Educational Media Seminars are varied to suit the needs of the many professions these ladies are directly connected with, yet most are not narrowly defined to one area only. The seminar moderators are seasoned people who have achieved successful positions in their respective fields. Most of the seminars this year also have a panel of experts who lend their voice and expertise to the discussion. Those attending the conference can choose 2 seminars per afternoon for a total of four.

The seminars are:

• Taking Your Brand from 0 to 1,000,000 in a Matter of Months, Moderator: Carol Doyel

Suellen Roberts

Christian Women In Media (CWIMA) founder  and President Suellen Roberts trusts the event will connect and refresh women in communications.The schedule of events throughout the country will stick closely to CWIMA mission to encourage, connect and mobilize women working in all forms of media.

Christian Women in Media was birthed out of Roberts’ desire to connect women in purpose and vision. She believes that providing a platform for Christian women in media will yield powerful results. “Mobilizing Christian women in media and entertainment is essential to influencing our culture in these times,” said Roberts. Those serving on the leadership team played a vital role in making it happen. The leadership team consists of seven women serving on the Executive Committee and a base of twenty-two Advisory Board members.
