Authentic Beauty! May 18-20,  2012

Beautiful Beloved: Believing and Receiving God's Love for You"

"Most of us know that God is love, but few of us really believe that God loves us.  In our deepest hearts, many of us believe God is just putting up with us. During this Authentic Beauty weekend, you'll uncover the lies that have told you you're ugly, rejected and alone. Instead, you'll discover through the life of a Biblical teen girl, Mary of Bethany, that Jesus Christ offers to make you a treasured bride who takes his breath away with your beauty. Come experience what it means to "live who you are" in Christ -- His "Beautiful Beloved." 

Speaker: Lynne Rienstra

"Lynne grew up in New England, spending her summers learning to swim in the arctic Atlantic waters near Boston. She attended Smith College in Northampton, MA, where she majored in English and education. Since then she has spent time abroad in such diverse places as Korea, France, Japan, Kenya, and Slovakia. Lynne's passion is communicating the truth of their identity in Christ to teen girls at conferences and retreats across the country.
Her desire is to use words – whether in speaking or writing – to encourage young women to take steps of faith toward the loving heart of God. She has written a mother/daughter Bible study called You Grow, Girl! and blogs at a site of the same name.
Twelve years ago she and her family left Cape Cod, Massachusetts to serve their third church, Trinity Presbyterian Church in Covington, GA. Currently, she works with Development Services Group as a writer and senior strategist, helping ministries attract donor support. She and her husband Rob have a college-age son and daughter."

Worship Led by: Tiffany Stanley

Tiffany Stanley

"Ever since she was a little girl, Tiffany dreamed of being more than a musician. It was in growing and developing a close and personal relationship with Christ that she knew music was more than the lyrics, chords, and notes. "To me, music is lifting up songs of worship to the Lord." Tiffany is a musician in pursuit of Worship. "I want this music to promote the most important thing: Jesus Christ." Tiffany longs to share the love of Christ in her music, and show others His goodness, grace and mercy."
