Historic Christian Women's Workplace Expo Helps Advance Working Women

MARIETTA, Georgia, August 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- The inaugural God's Love at Work 2008 Women's Conference & Expo will be held Saturday November 8, 2008, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Mt. Paran North Church in Marietta, Ga.

Fortified with over a dozen workplace and ministry experts, this historic women's event is purposed to encourage all women in their work lives, including moms, young single professionals and seasoned career women.

"To my knowledge," says God's Love at Work Founder Margaret D. Mitchell, "this is the first Christian women's workplace Expo that has been held inside a church within the U.S."

God's Love at Work is partnering with Mount Paran North, which has a strong workplace ministry foundation. Their faith statement of "Loving God, loving people" fits with the Expo theme, which is Love3.

"From the beginning," says Margaret, "I knew it was God's event, and I knew I couldn't do it without Him. I've marveled at how He has creatively led me and brought experts alongside me to participate."

The event will include two general sessions and eight breakout sessions. The Expo portion of the event will be held during lunchtime from noon to 1:30 p.m. and will accommodate both lunch tables and exhibit tables for the convenience of attendees to dine, network and shop.

The event's theme, Love3, highlights the confluent relationship each woman shares with God, herself and others and is based on Ephesians 3:18 (the width, length, height and depth of God's love) and God's Greatest Commandments, which is to love Him with all of our heart, soul and mind and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Matt. 22:37-39).

Admission for both the Conference & Expo is $35 per person. Women may register online through November 7 or at the church on Sundays in October and November.

Worship and comedic relief will be facilitated by "Beloved," a trio of female singers led by former Miss Georgia and television co-host Kim Gravel. They will sing favorites and new tracks from their latest CD, " Wake The World".

This year's keynote speaker is Fortune 500 businesswoman Dondi Scumaci. Dondi is the author of "Designed For Success: The 10 Commandments For Women In The Workplace."
