Girls plan for national gathering

Girls plan for national gathering

The stage is set for thousands of girls to gather for Blume — four days of worship, interactive conferences, hands-on missions and ministry projects, concerts, nightly fun activities and new friends.

More than 6,000 youth and college–age girls from across the nation are expected in Kansas City, Mo., July 10–13 for the missions event designed to encourage them to recognize their gifts and live out their God-given purpose.

Throughout the conference, Celia Whitler, a Christian recording artist and songwriter, will lead the girls in praise and worship. Although Blume will include time for all the participants to gather together, specific activities and times of worship have been planned just for the collegiate audience. Cindy Johnson, a Christian songwriter, singer and guitarist, will minister to the collegiate young women through worship and testimony.

For the feature concert, Bethany Dillon, an 18-year-old recording artist and Dove Award nominee, will sing.

Registration can be completed by telephone, fax or mail or online. For information on Blume, sponsored by Woman’s Missionary Union, visit www.blumeforgirls.com or e-mail blume@wmu.org. (BP)
