Singles track: Saturday afternoon

After a Friday evening and Saturday morning learning from Linda Dillow and Lorraine Pintus, you can meet other women in a special Saturday afternoon session just for singles. Workshop leader Nancy Barton, director of women's ministry at Wheaton Bible Church, will help women formulate a personal vision statement and lead discussion on such topics as:

• How is it possible to be sexually pure in such an impure world?
• What do I do with my sexual feelings?  
• How do I handle the long, lonely wait?
• What does it mean that Jesus is my Bridegroom?
• How can I live my single life to the fullest?
• What sexual boundaries are right for me?

Comment from the Singles Sessions

I am a single/divorced mother who has been in a serious relationship now for 2 yrs. and recently attended your conf.  The question of pre-marital sex has been a topic of conversation previously. We are both Christians and have debated our beliefs vs. our sexual relationship before. Nothing has ever hit as hard as Nancy's comment, "if you want God to bless your relationship, then give Him something to bless". We have been praying and studying together for over a year now and have continually asked God to bless our relationship. Our eyes opened with that comment. We are dedicated to our new commitment and praise God for His awesome forgiveness. It is not going to be easy.......with God's strength though, we are praying that this will only bring us closer together and closer to Him. In Christ's Love, Thank You, straight from our hearts.

A Vision for Purity

Lord, as I long and pray for the husband you have for me, my desire is to be holy and pure in your eyes.  Thank you for cleansing me and creating an innocent heart, mind and spirit once again.  My prayer is that I can present myself fully to my future husband as a desirable gift, like a rose bud that has held the gift hidden inside and on my wedding night I will be able to open into full bloom for my lover, my husband.  Lord, please keep my vase close to your breast so that our hearts may beat as one and let me drink of your living water so I may present to my husband a life-giving heart and soul.  Thank you for your provisions and strength each day to live out this vision.
