I am absolutely overjoyed to welcome you to our 10th annual WOWW Conference and 3rd annual Community Benefit Concert featuring Grammy, Stellar and Dove award winning gospel/jazz artist Ben Tankard at Calvary Community Church in Hampton, VA, and our 2nd WOWW Weekend Retreat at Embassy Suites Hampton Roads Hotel, Spa & Convention Center. We are blessed this year to support Courtney's House as our chosen charity to benefit from the proceeds of our concert ticket sales and the purchase of our brand new WOWW Cosmetics line of products. Those who invest in WOWW Cosmetics will also benefit from the WOWW Factor of Beauty as they pamper themselves with satiny and shimmery eyeshadows, luxurious pearl lipsticks and luscious, long lasting lip glosses while adopting the WOWW Factor of Community which allows profits from the purchase of any cosmetic product to benefit Courtney's House in 2011.
The theme for our conference this year is "Sisters Standing, Serving & Sharing" as women and middle/high school young ladies are encouraged, enlightened and empowered by attending general sessions and workshops on Saturday, October 8th after our Friday, October 7th evening Community Benefit Concert with Ben Tankard. Workshop speakers include Rev. Connie "CJ" Jackson from On The Edge Ministries in Houston, TX; Rev. Arlicia Albert from Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Beaumont, TX; Allyson Bailey-Leonard from Prudential Financial Services in Houston, TX; Tina Frundt, Founder/Executive Director of Courtney's House in Washington, DC; Author and Leadership Coach Lori Hobson, Youth Pastor Lesley Francisco, and WOWW Conference Founder/Executive Director, Dr. Natalie A. Francisco from Calvary Community Church in Hampton, VA. Sunday morning worship speakers on October 9th include my husband, Bishop L. W. Francisco (Senior Pastor of Calvary Community Church) at 8 a.m. and Dr. Teresa Hairston (Founder/CEO of Gospel Today Magazine). Registration applications are also available for those who desire to join our Conference Mass Choir or to serve as a vendor to showcase products and services in our Christian Merchants Arena during the conference weekend. Concert tickets, conference registration and vendor applications are available now at www.CalvaryCommunity.org/wow.
