When we look at God throughout history, we can see the broad strokes of His grace, and his kindness to individual people in spite of their rebellion against him. At the 2022 Women’s Conference we will get a closer look at this reality through the women in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1.

Jesus’ genealogy shows us a great story of a graceful God using broken people. But when we examine it more closely, we find something wonderful. Some of the people throughout history who pointed most clearly to Jesus weren't men. They were women!

Join us as we share the stories of these women, and discover how these individual glimpses of grace are woven together into the greatest story ever told. We'll see, together, how God continues, even today, to bring His grace to men and women — one messy story at a time.

Check out the songs we’ll be singing together!

Women’s Conference Showcase

On Saturday night, we’ll have a "Women's Conference Showcase". This will give you the opportunity to showcase how the Lord has gifted you to glorify Him. Maybe you have something serious you want to share, or a fun way to display a talent or passion you have. This could be something musical, a dance, artwork, a written piece or another creative presentation. Don't be shy! We'd love to have a great variety of giftings to display!

To plan this and make it a truly excellent event, we ask that you submit a short Google form to help us discern what pieces to display during our 75 minute Showcase. You'll also need to upload a short video* of your presentation piece so we can fully understand what you hope to present. Submissions are due by Friday, March 25th. We'll let you know by Monday, March 28th if your piece will be displayed or not.

Showcase Submission Form

If you have any questions, you talk to your campus staff worker or email the Showcase Coordinators (Christianna Otto - christianna.otto@dm.org, or Maggie Enestvedt - enestvedtm@dm.org).

*P.S. You'll need to sign in with a Google account to upload your video! If you don't have one, ask a friend or your staff worker!
