Saturday, Oct. 3 at Orcas Island Community Church

— from Meredith Griffith —

Are you living the life you were born to live? All women of our islands community, you are invited to come hear dynamic Christian storyteller and bestselling author Beth Moore via simulcast on Saturday, October 3. Free childcare will be provided.

“Beth Moore is a sassy Texan whose love for Christ is infectious,” says organizer Angie Johnson. “I’ve been studying with Beth for years and am amazed at her knowledge of the word of God. Her humor and empathy make every study personal. She draws from both old and new testaments, showing the love of God with amazing depth of comprehension.”

The day-long event is an opportunity to build community with other women seeking a deeper life. Moore’s mission is to lead women everywhere into a richer, more fulfilling relationship with God. She wants every woman to know how dearly she is loved by a God who longs to have a personal relationship with each of us. The broadcast also features music and worship with Dove award-winning musical artist and songwriter Travis Cottrell.

Moore regularly speaks to and forges connections with thousands of women around the world from a wide range of ethnicities and backgrounds. She has authored dozens of published studies and books for women over the past 20 years. “She is absolutely relevant and current,” says organizer Faith Heath. “This is a wonderful opportunity to hear Beth Moore right here on Orcas Island.”

Moore’s message is further explored in her newly released book, “Audacious.” After 30 years of teaching, Moore says she came to realize that her vision for women was incomplete, writing, “It lacked something they were aching for. Something Jesus was longing for. What was missing? Well, let’s just say, it’s audacious and it’s for all of us. And it’s the path to the life you were born to live.” Copies of “Audacious” will be available for purchase at the event.

The event will be held at Orcas Island Community Church from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m, and includes a 90-minute lunch break so attendees can “brown bag” it or buy lunch in town. All women are welcome, regardless of ability to pay. A suggested $15 donation will help cover costs of the broadcast, childcare and technical support. Please pack a sack lunch for each child you plan to bring along. For more information, contact Susan Clark at stclark@rockisland.com and visit lifeway.com/livingproof.
