Encounter morning for women, 14 November 2026

Our November 26 Encounter was hosted by the wonderful St Mary's, Ballybeen and our speakers were Jude Frame and Becky Harcourt. We went away reminded that our God is the God who sees us, who loves, values and forgives us, and encouraged to see ourselves as He sees us. After brunch we heard Becky's powerful story of finding freedom and an invitation to 'the great exchange' in Isaiah 61: "...a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."
