Breakout Session #4: Pillow Talk. 
Whether you're looking for ways to spice things up, or if the nightlife in your bedroom has become "lackluster," this session is for you!  We've brought in an expert on the topic to teach you how to find out what your sexual love language is, how to find and speak your husband's, and give you strategies and practical techniques for getting or bringing back the fireworks! (You'll be very glad you came!)
Speaker: Min. Peggy D. Maclin, The Sanctuary (Capitol Heights, MD)

Breakout Session #5: Sticks and Stones.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, and sometimes words do hurt! The pulpit and the bandstand are the two areas in the church where the biggest dispensations of feelings of inadequacy lie. Sometimes those feelings manifest themselves in abusive behaviors. As ministry wives and people of faith, we are sheltered from a lot of things but domestic violence isn't one of them. This session is designed to educate you on the different types of abuse so that you can protect and help yourself, be better equipped to counsel and come to the aid of your sisters, and the people in your life and congregation that this devastation has/is affecting. 
Speaker: TBA

Breakout Session #6: After the Hurricane.
Adultery, sexual deviancy, gambling, etc., have long been considered "marriage dealbreakers." But they dont have to be. As bad as it hurts, some things happen only to take our relationships to the next level. This powerful session is designed to teach you how to use what seems like "the worst thing that could ever happen" into the thing that transformed you and your marriage for the better.
Speaker: TBA
