Heart to Heart: May 1 & 8, 2021
We are inviting all pastor’s wives for our annual Heart to Heart meetings where we can come together to share a meal, get to know one another intentionally, and build each other up through prayer. This year, Lisa Scarrow would like to connect with you as pastors’ wives again and give you the opportunity to connect with other pastors’ wives in your area. This is an opportunity to engage with women who understand the joys and challenges of your important role. Lisa will be hosting these gatherings either in her home or at a nearby restaurant in your location. There will be a series of gatherings hosted based off of your location and this will also determine the date that you will meet.
HEART TO HEART: METRO NW: May 1
HEART TO HEART: METRO NORTH: May 8
Please RSVP by emailing Lisa Scarrow at scarrowl@ncdcma.org. We hope to see you there!
