As Women of Grace, seeking to glorify God, we are excited to invite you to join us on Saturday, June 3rd as we explore our 2023 theme:
OUR UNCHANGING GOD IN A CHANGING TIME
Join us this spring as ladies sit at His presence to learn about our God who is the same yesterday, today and forever. This one day conference is designed for women to step away from everyday life to spend focused time in His Word, be quiet in His presence, enjoy a wonderful time of fellowship, and enjoy being a little spoiled too.
As we look to Jesus with all our heart, mind and soul, our faith will be strengthened in a time where our unchanging God is the living God in today's times.
Practical, in-depth Bible teaching
Musical presentations & singing
Enjoy snack and mouth watering lunch prepared by an International Chef
Question and Answer time
Minimum age to attend is 16 years
Note: There is no fee to attend the conference, however, there will be an opportunity to participate by way of

SPECIAL SPEAKER
DELLA LEKTEMAN
Della was born at Comox on Vancouver Island, later moving with the family to Victoria, BC. She was saved after a gospel meeting, through Newfoundland evangelist Stan Beasley who was holding a special series at Ross Bay in Victoria.
Della would spend her teenage years at Aldergrove Gospel Chapel where she met and married Bill Letkeman. Three years later they were commended from Aldergrove to serve for two years in Medellín, Colombia with Literature Crusades.
After Colombia they intended to settle closer to Surrey and began attending North Surrey Chapel. When an opportunity arose to return to South America, the brethren at North Surrey commended them to the Lord’s work in Ecuador in 1970. They served there until 1981 when they returned for the education of their three sons.
In 1981, Dr. Ed Harlow of Everyday Publications invited them to work in Ontario within the publishing ministry. With the blessing of the elders, Bill and Della relocated to Ontario and Bill began work fultime with Everyday Publications. Della helped with proofreading. She also wrote three books - Amazing Ants, No Time to Quit, and Voice in the Darkness.
Bill & Della continued with the printing ministry for 27 years. In 2008, the Lord led them to work with New Life Prison Ministry. They consulted with their home assembly and, with their blessing, continue working with that ministry today. Della enjoys going inside the prisons to visit with inmates. She has also written 3 Bible courses specifically for use in prison ministry. Her first course Forgiveness and the second course Angels are in circulation. A third course on Prayer has been sent to various prisoners to get necessary feedback. In her spare time, Della can be found texting her grandchildren, tending to her garden, although in the cold winter season she works on their family tree and enjoys playing piano.
