Beautiful Woman


The worship band on stage was surrounded by lots of lights and dancing.


Every seat in the hall was packed out.


me and Julia, the leader of my Urban Life group, who has become a great friend. We meet for breakfast a couple times a month.


Every entrance and hallway was decked with kaleidoscope banners and filled with the men volunteering and distributing more Dove chocolates than you could imagine.


The girls at Arcadia on Gertrude St during our lunch break.

Planetshakers church hosted a women's conference called Beautiful Woman on Friday and Saturday. It was amazing to see Dallas Brooks Hall (our normal church meeting spot) completely packed out with women. I didn't know there were that many women in the church. We had lots of worship and three very stirring speakers (female pastors of the church). At one point, the senior pastor's wife gave us all a gift. The men came down every aisle with their arms lined with gift bags. She gave us all silver "Beautiful Woman" necklaces (Tiffany knock offs in Tiffany style bags). It felt very Oprah-esque and she even joked that she wished she was rich and could give us all cars. It was a fun surprise.
