Every time I attend a Giving Voice conference, gathering, retreat, share a phone call or get together with a few GV sisters, I always leave refreshed, renewed, energized and excited. This year’s National Conference in Kansas City from August 6-9 was no exception.
Cada vez que asisto a una conferencia, junta o retiro de Giving Voice, o que hablo por teléfono o me reúno con algunas hermanas de GV, termino sintiéndome renovada y recuperada, llena de energía y emoción. Lo mismo sucedió en la Conferencia Nacional del 6 al 9 de agosto de este año en Kansas City.
In Western New York we do no start school until after Labor Day. Grateful that Labor Day is late this year I sit at my desk skimming through my lessons from last year. A sigh escapes as I think; do I have enough energy, patience, and love to embrace this school year? Do I have anything to offer these inner city middle school girls? Their reality is so different from the way I grew up.
Before, during and after the conference, we had a blog going so many others could join in-check it out at http://giving-voice.weebly.com
There you will see reflections, poems and songs that our sisters felt inspired to share about the conference.

Many others have written about our Conference too. Check out the different Global Sisters Reports written by GV sisters who also attended the conference. Each writer gives a great sense of what happened and the impact it had on many of us. We at Giving Voice are so blessed to have one another and all the different sisters in our congregations who support us.
