The Sixth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church
is sponsoring an innovative women’s conference:“The 2007 Women’s Deliverance Conference—Birthing a
Breakthrough.”The event will
be held at The Cathedral of Turner Chapel A.M.E. Church, 492 N. Marietta
Parkway, Marietta, Georgia30060,
The Rev. Kenneth E. Marcus is the Pastor, The Rev. Cassandra Y. Marcus
is the Co-Pastor. This Conference is scheduled from October 31 to
November 3, 2007 and will call together women of varying generations,
backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, and professions.
We are expecting approximately 1,000 women to be in attendance at the
various workshops and seminars that will be held each day of the
conference, and an additional 1,500 to 2,000 during the evening events.
The evening of Wednesday, October 31, 2007 is the opening worship and is
being called, “Hallelujah Night,” with The Rev. Dr. Elaine Flake as the
opening preacher.On Thursday
evening, Bishop Vashti M. McKenzie will be the preacher and there will
be a service of Deliverance for all worshippers.On Thursday and Friday during the day, there will be various
workshops and plenary sessions throughout the day focusing on physical
deliverance (health and wholeness), financial deliverance (financial
empowerment), and spiritual deliverance (spiritual formation).On Friday evening, a gospel musical will be presented by world
renown Gospel Recording Artist, The Rev. Timothy Wright, known for such
tunes as “Get Up, If You’re on The Lord’s Side,” “Trouble Don’t Last
Always,” "We're Gonna Make It" (With Myrna Summers) and his latest
release, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.”
Saturday morning will close out with an open plenary about what it means
to be delivered, and the closing sermon by The Rev. Dr. Debora F. Grant,
Pastor of St. John A.M.E., Columbus, GA (Sixth District).
We are pleased that one of our special guest presenters will be award
winning author, Dr. Patricia Raybon, author of New York Times best
selling memoir, I Told the Mountain to Move.Dr. Raybon will be doing two sessions, one on prayer and one on
journaling. Additionally, there will be a Celebrating Deliverers
luncheon on Friday, November 2, 2007, which will be a major event.At the luncheon we will honor women who have made outstanding
contributions in four areas:
financial growth, health and wellness, spiritual development, and
community service. We expect this to be one of the most dynamic women’s
conferences of 2007.
Signed, Sealed--Delivered!!!
We are completely thrilled that Friday is going to be a phenomenal day
during the Conference!
On Friday morning, there will be an interactive dialogue between men and
women focusing on the questions, “What do men REALLY want?” and “What do
women REALLY want?”It is
promising to be an interesting exchange as the perpetual so-called
“battle of the sexes” evolves during this session.
There will be a panelist of three men who will address various questions
pertaining to the challenges often presented in relationships between
men and women.What really is at
the heart of the notion that men are from Mars and women are from Venus?Why are there so many jokes about male and female stereotypes,
and do people really believe them?We expect this to be an interesting discussion with interaction
from the audience.Start thinking
of your questions now!
Food for Thought:
A woman is like
a teabag—only in hot water do you realize how strong she is!

A Deliverance Room will be available during the conference that will offer a
place of quiet, prayer, meditation and reflection. It will also be available
