ABOUT:
2025 Maranatha Women's Conference: Beauty from Ashes
Maranatha is an aramaic phrase found at the end of 1 Corinthians and in early church writings that essentially means, "The Lord is coming", or "Our Lord, come". This year, we will gather together with local women for a day of worship, prayer, fellowship, and we will will be reminded that we can "rejoice in the hope of the glory of God (Rom. 5:2). "
