| Canadian Baptist Women of Ontario and Quebec

May 4: 285 women listened, learned, laughed and loved at CBWOQ's 58th convention held in Brantford, Ontario. Plenary speakers delivered choice words, insights and calls to know, show and do. Workshops nourished, as did the times of worship. The silent auction raised over $2,000 for Matthew House, Ottawa and CBWOQ's New Initiatives fund.

Many thanks to all the women who worked tirelessly behind the scenes: local arrangements, board of directors, staff and in-the-moment helpers who pitched in when needed.

March 30: Four workshops have been added to our already-strong Saturday schedule. They are:

Workshop A number 20 (repeat of workshop 18) Creative Devotions: The 30-Day Art Journal Challenge. Led by Ann-Margret Hovsepian.

WWA 2011 Speakers

Elie Haddad WWA 2011 speaker Elie and Mireille Haddad moved to Lebanon as Canadian Baptist Ministries Global Field Staff in July 2005.

Kim Puhc Vietnam War Survivor Kim Phuc is keynote speaker (Saturday night only). Kim is a Vietnamese-Canadian best known as the child subject of a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph taken during the Vietnam War in June 1972. That photograph brought the world's attention to the horrors of the war in Vietnam.

Tracey Bagley WWA 2011 speaker Tracey Bagley is continually being transformed by God's Word. A wife, momma, student and Christian Education director, Tracey passionately teaches, encourages and challenges others to be changed by the greatest love letter ever written to women (and men) - the Bible.
