Regional Events
In addition to EEWC-CFT national conferences every two years, our organization has local chapters that meet on a regular basis. EEWC-CFT members and chapters in neighboring states sometimes join together to present regional events as well.
Upcoming Events
EEWC-CFT Council member Shawna R. B. Atteberry will be talking about and signing her new book, What You Didn’t Learn in Sunday School: Women Who Didn’t Shut Up and Sit Down, on on May 26 at Grace Episcopal Church, 637 S. Dearborn in Chicago, Illinois from 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Come at 10:00 am and catch the service.
The Midwest EEWC-CFT Regional Retreat will be held at the Lindenwood Retreat Center in Donaldson, Indiana on September 28 and 29, 2013. Lindenwood is a beautiful retreat center run by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ. The rooms are nice, the food is good, the grounds are quite lovely, and it’s affordable.
Guests will arrive Saturday morning for a day of fun and fellowship. The program runs through Sunday morning worship.
All EEWC-CFT members are invited, but especially Midwest Region members. If you would like additional details please contact the EEWC-CFT office.
