Seventeen women walked along side biblical storyteller Tracy as she weaved geography, history and scripture to transform the way we understand the women of the Holy Scripture. Dorcas rising  from death came alive on the sandy beach of Jaffa port, Mary Magdalene encountered the risen Christ at the tomb, and Elizabeth felt her son John move in her womb when Mary arrived on the high cliff at Ein Karem.

As the days together progressed we changed from a program of seekers to a community of sisters in faith.  Cathy started a secret Facebook page for sharing, Lu learned to ring the cathedral bells calling us to evening prayer, Wana’s reading of scripture captured the Holy Spirit hovering around us, and Julia shared her amazing gift of song that God truly blessed.

Our hearts are filled with affection for each other and gratefulness for the profound way our faith journey was transformed in the beauty of women narratives who walked with Jesus and encountered God.
