The SMC is providing $200 scholarships to the first 10 female Elders/CMC's/LMC's/Deacons that contact us about attending the Wesleyan Holiness Women Clergy Conference. Email Ashley Tohm for more information and availability.

We hope you know about the Wesleyan Holiness Women’s Clergy Conference, “HerStory” on March 10th-12th, 2022—a 3-day conference for women clergy and leaders with a Wesleyan heritage. For more information about E2022 and to register now, click the button below. This amazing event only happens every 2 years and is sponsored by Wesleyan Holiness Women Clergy. It’s near the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) airport at the Embassy Suites by Hilton.

We expect at least 100 Free Methodist clergy women, CMC’s, students, and others (including some men) to attend, as usual. The denomination is financially underwriting a special Free Methodist women’s gathering for 24 hours ahead of this event at the same hotel. This event, called Our Story (previously called WELL2022), will begin on Wednesday, March 9th at 1pm, with an evening session ending at 9pm. It will continue Thursday, the 10th from 9am until noon. More details about the schedule will be released soon.

Wednesday night’s stay at the hotel, plus a grand buffet dinner will be covered by the denomination. You will be on your own for lunch before we begin on Wednesday; the hotel will provide your breakfast, and our FM gathering will end at noon on Thursday, so you’ll be on your own for lunch before HerStory begins.

It is important that you register for Our Story separately. We have created a way for you to register HERE. (Please do this whether or not you have already registered for HerStory or reserved your hotel room.) In order to book your hotel for both OUR STORY and the WHWC Her Story Conference, book it HERE. If you only plan to attend the WHWC event beginning March 10th, please book your hotel via WHWC's website.

If you have any problems with booking your hotel room, contact Callie Darling (our event services manager who will be assisting with your room reservations) by clicking the button below. A planning team of Soo Ji Alvarez, Julie Gray, Cheri Coleman, Kelly Roth, Kate Wallace Nunnelly, Deb Walkemeyer, Jennifer Wilson, and Marianne Peña is working on making this a fun and strategic time together. Please plan to come and invite others to join you.

Looking forward to being together!
