Northeast Ohio Women - NOW Connector Letter from the Coordinator: Spring has finally sprung in fact it seems to have sprung right into summer-like weather here in Northeast Ohio. This should be a reminder that Camp Meeting isn t too far away. Our next gathering will be at our beautiful Berlin Retreat Center and our newly remodeled Missions Conference Center (MCC). Although the MCC is still under construction for Phases 2 & 3, we can enjoy the expanded conference room, new restrooms and remodeled kitchen as well as some welcomed changes to the dorm area. Our annual Prayer Breakfast is scheduled for Saturday, July 21, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. at the Missions Conference Center. See details further in this newsletter. Once again we will be focusing on prayer with a Concert of Prayer following a delicious breakfast prepared and served by your NEO CWC Board. Come join us as we kick off camp meeting week with this special time with the Lord and with other ladies from across the district. Please check the camp meeting schedule for other opportunities to draw closer the God and His people. Bring some friends with you! Our Spring Convention was well attended and we really appreciated the ladies (and gentlemen) from The Church of the Harvest in Middleburg Heights for hosting a wonderful day. Our guest speaker, Rhonda Phillips, shared valued information regarding the Pink Door Ministry in Berlin Germany. This ministry will be supported by a portion of the offerings received during camp meeting as well as the auction to be held on Saturday, July 28. Hopefully you are collecting valuable items to be donated to the auction or you are planning to bid on items to help this ministry. Don t forget if you can t give green you can give red! Our blood drive will also be that Saturday. The Executive Council of NEO has adopted the following vision for our district: that every soul in N.E. Ohio encounters the glory of God through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Keep this vision before you as we serve together during 2018. Now as Paul shared with the Corinthians May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In Christian love, Carolyn Cooper, NEO CWC Coordinator
