2020 AWSA Virtual Conference and Golden Scrolls

This is our BIG year. The year we turn 20! The year we sound the call for us and for the women of the church to arise with Arise Esther!

And this year, it will be easier than ever to attend our conference – from your own home, phone, or computer!

Yep, this year, due to the Munce Christian Product Show changing dates, we are staying home, but staying together – via our first VIRTUAL CONFERENCE.

You will even have 48 hours to watch the conference after it ends.

IN FACT, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO WATCH AT YOUR OWN CONVENIENCE!

And besides our program, you can get 9 wonderful pre-recorded workshops! Now, you won’t miss a thing!

BTW, our new schedule is below!
