Fall Conference 2007:
Our 2007 Fall Conference was held Friday and Saturday, September 21-22 at the church.
Our speaker was Elyse Fitzpatrick. Her topic was "Am I My Sister's Keeper?".
Below are highlights from the Conference.
 | Topic: "Am I My Sister's Keeper?" Speaker: Elyse Fitzpatrick Elyse is the author of eleven books, a frequent speaker at women's conferences, a part-time couselor and a member of the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors. | |

 | Prayer for the Conference Elyse Fitzpatrick has been counseling women since 1989 and is presently a part-time counselor (along with her husband, Phil) at Grace Church in San Diego. Grace Church is part of the Sovereign Grace Ministries family of churches. She holds a certificate in biblical counseling from IBCD and an M.A. in Biblical Counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary, and is a member of the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors. | |
Food and Fellowship Elyse traced the Biblical use of the word “keeper” (shamar) demonstrating how our Lord "keeps" us and how He calls on us to "keep" others. Words that our Lord uses to describe Keeping: Bear with, strengthen, help, turn, protect, counsel, show mercy, grab them from the fire, gently correct, shepherd, turn another back from error, bear with one another. In reviewing what the Lord teaches us about our responsibility to “keep” each other, Elyse encouraged us to be "keepers" of our sisters. |  | |
 | Elyse signing books Elyse is the author of eleven books including: "Women Helping Women"; "Love to Eat, Hate to Eat," "Overcoming Fear, Worry and Anxiety," "When Good Kids Make Bad Choices" (each from Harvest House Publishers); "Idols of the Heart," "The Afternoon of Life," and "A Steadfast Heart" from P & R Publishers; "Helper By Design" and "Will Medicine Stop the Pain?" from Moody Publishers; and "Uncommon Vessels" (Leader's Guide and Member's Manual) from Timeless Texts. |
“A charitable concern for our brethren, as their keepers, is a great duty, which is strictly required of us, but is generally neglected by us. Those who are unconcerned in the affairs of their brethren, and take no care, when they have opportunity, to prevent their hurt in their bodies, goods, or good name, especially in their souls, do, in effect, speak Cain’s language.” (Matthew Henry)
