Falling In Love With Jesus Women’s Conference

The temperatures are starting to cool down, fall decorations are popping up everywhere you look and the leaves are starting to fall. The Raceland First Assembly of God Women’s Ministry believes it is a perfect time for Falling in Love with Jesus. That is the theme of the upcoming women’s conference at the church on Saturday, September 16th.
Amanda Elliott is the head of the Women’s Ministry at the church. “This will be the first conference we have been able to have since Covid, and we are looking forward to a wonderful day. We hope to reach out to all the women in our area and let them know there is hope and peace in Jesus.” There will be two sessions on Saturday. The doors will open at 9:30 with the morning session beginning at 10 a.m. followed by lunch with an afternoon session beginning at 1 p.m. Elliott stressed that there is no charge for the conference or the lunch. “We don’t want women to worry about paying a fee…just enjoy the day with us.”
“We are so excited to have Beth Sargent as our guest speaker for both sessions. She is originally from Raceland First Assembly, and we are thrilled to have her back for the day.” Elliott continued. Worship music will be led by Francie Middleton and the worship team from New Beginnings in Grayson, KY.
Beth Sargent has been in the ministry for more than 25 years and is a wife, mom, author, and podcaster. She and her husband Josh are the Senior Pastors of Good Shepard Church in Louisville, KY. Even though their ministry has taken them to Louisville, there is a long history with the church in Raceland. Sargent shared, “I was born and raised in the area. I received the call into ministry while at Raceland First Assembly. This will be like a homecoming for me. I can’t wait to see everyone.”
Beth believes that everyone has a God given task in life, and it is her desire to help them become spiritually, mentally, and physically fit for that task. Sargent declared, “I am so excited to speak at the conference. I will be speaking on “How to Hear the Voice of God”. I know that God has great things in store for this conference, and I hope everyone will join us.”
In closing Elliott said, “We are looking forward to a great time of worship and want everyone to have a great time of fellowship with all of our ladies on Saturday.”
The Raceland First Assembly of God Women’s ministry meets the first Monday of every month at 6 p.m. at the church. According to Elliott, everyone is welcome to attend their meetings even if you attend another church. The church is located at 8034 US 23, Raceland, KY.
