Gathering Hope is a collective experience for bereaved mothers, held each October to both remember our children and honor our unique motherhood. Inspired by 1 Peter 3:15, we are excited to share this year’s theme, THIS IS OUR STORY. As fellow survivors, we invite you to join us for powerful speakers, uplifting worship, and a sacred, intimate atmosphere where you are regarded as a truly honored guest.
“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give the reason for the hope you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. ”
We are not therapists or counselors, instead, we are a movement to empower women to grieve and celebrate the lives they lost together, with other mothers. As this movement has expanded, you’ve been asking us for more. More time to connect, more locations to gather, and more options for the transformational experience that our annual Gathering can provide.
This year, we are thrilled to announce that we have THREE different ways where you can connect with the people who understand you most…other moms.
OPTION 1: TEXAS FULL-DAY CONFERENCE!
You will experience worship, be encouraged by guest speakers, intentionally connect with other women, attend a panel discussion & breakout sessions, meet with specially selected vendors, and MORE! The ticket price includes lunch and a Gathering 2023 SWAG bag.
OPTION 2: VIRTUAL ATTENDEE
You’ll be able to simultaneously view the worship session and our speakers, *and* gather in breakout rooms with other attendees, just like we do at our in-person Gathering. The ticket price includes a streaming link, private access to interactive breakout rooms, and a Gathering 2023 SWAG box sent to your home.
OPTION 3: HOST A GATHERING
