Be Encouraged  
T hankful for your faithful ministry to your  family  and GLD church!

A strong effort was made by our GLD  regional  staff to  organize gatherings for the pastors and wives in each region. 
N ew - Resilient Ministry retreat by Dr. Donald Guthrie from TIU provided great connections, encouragement and resources for 30 of our GLD couples.
K ind responses were warmly received from so many of you for the October Rooted Woman of Valor seminar and  women's dinner with Pat Palau.
S pecial blessings on your  upcoming holidays with family!

Be Connected 
Our annual GLD Conference continues to be one of our best ways to connect, encourage and resource you. Mark your calendar to attend next year with  your husband on  October 8-9, 2018 in Rockford, IL at the Maywood EFC. Watch for the GLD regional  gatherings in your area to get to know the pastoral couples closer to your church.

Be Resourced
Our pastors' wives team will plan to give or mail our 2018 resource book to you, unless you already  received it at the GLD Conference in October. The title this year is Rooted Woman of Valor by Jan C Thompson.
 
Sincerely,
