Luminary Church was proud to present a powerful and uplifting day to celebrate the amazing women God sees.  Gust Speaker Lorrie Bamford led attendees in a meaningful and entertaining discussion about how we view ourselves, and how God sees us.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch (served by some handsome men of Luminary), engaging breakout sessions, shopping with vendors, and the uplifting voices of Our Girls.
