We are again blessed with five speakers this year, to share with us the ways in which the Promises are manifesting in their own lives … and from the artists in our midsts, more song, dance & laughter!

We’re trusting HP to once more arrange attendees so we’ve sufficient PRG-experienced members present to allow for a few hours of low-stress, no-prep-required, Visions-oriented PRG’s (open to all members, but perhaps especially beneficial to those who haven’t had a PRG before).

We will also create special Visions boards this year that focus in on each different area of our daily lives, to help us better understand HP’s will for us, so we can then in turn better concentrate our efforts, and rocket forward into the fulfilling futures HP wants for us!

As always, we’ll have abundant fellowship, and food for mind & body … and hopefully heaps of fun, too!

Looking SO very forward to sharing this experience together!
