'Take Time to be Holy' Conference Recap

We had an amazing Women's Conference this year that consisted of three different events: Days for Girls Service Project Work Day on August 26th, Sisters at the Temple on October 20th, and the culminating Conference on October 21st with a Keynote, Breakout Sessions, and service project assembling the Days for Girls Kits. Our Conference Vision was that ‘all women realize that Heavenly Father has given them the capacity to become holy.' We hope that as you were able to attend the events surrounding the conference you were able to gain a better understanding and knowledge of this and see how you could apply it to your life and to the lives of those sisters you interact with. 
 
Below are a few of the talks from the keynote session and some of the handouts from the breakout sessions.
Keynote Session Talks:

'Gypsy'- Sister Susan Cobb

'Take Time to be Holy'- Dr. Debra Monk

Days for Girls Service Project:
Our Stake has made and assembled Days For Girls sustainable feminine hygiene kits as part of our last two Women’s Conferences. This year we sewed tote bags and liners during an August service project activity, and then several women individually and through the Olney 1st Ward completed more sewing before we assembled the kits during the Conference
in October.


Our stake completed 60 kits in all, with many other donations to be used by the Rockville Chapter of Days For Girls to complete additional kits. If you are interested in participating in an ongoing way, please contact rockvillemd@daysforgirls.org or connect at www.facebook.com/rockvilledaysforgirls/. DFG kits are distributed by organizations and groups traveling to areas in need. The Rockville chapter has kits going to Haiti in January, plus other upcoming distribution in South Africa, Mozambique, and India.
