PRAISE GOD FOR A WONDERFUL LADIES’ SPECTACULAR!

Sands of Time | November 6–7, 2026

As the sands of time continue to fall, our hearts are filled with gratitude for another Ladies’ Spectacular. What a privilege it has been to come together around God’s Word, enjoy Christian fellowship, and be reminded of how precious the time is that God has given us.

We pray that the truths shared during these meetings will continue to encourage your hearts long after you have returned home.

To Our Wonderful Workers THANK YOU!

There are some gifts that cannot be wrapped in beautiful paper or tied with a ribbon. They are the gifts of TIME, SACRIFICE, WILLING HANDS, and LOVING HEARTS. These are the precious gifts that so many of you have given to make this Ladies’ Spectacular possible.

From the earliest moments of planning to the final details of preparation, countless hours have been lovingly poured into this conference. Behind every arrangement, every carefully prepared detail, every welcoming smile, and every act of service were faithful people who gave of themselves so that others might be blessed.

Some of your work was seen by everyone, while much of it was accomplished quietly behind the scenes. Yet we know that none of it went unnoticed by our Heavenly Father.

You gave your time when there were other things demanding your attention. You offered your talents, your strength, your patience, and your hearts. You worked together, served with kindness, and helped turn plans on paper into a special occasion for the ladies who attended.

Words seem inadequate to express how deeply grateful we are for each of you.

Our prayer is that the Lord will bless you for your labor of love and that you will have the joy of knowing you had a part in encouraging someone in her walk with Christ.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for every prayer, every sacrifice, every hour, and every loving effort. We could not have done this without you!

To Our Dear Ladies Who Attended

Thank you for choosing to spend a portion of your precious time with us!

We realize that attending a conference requires making arrangements, setting aside responsibilities, and sometimes traveling quite a distance. Your presence was a blessing to us, and we are truly grateful you came.

Our greatest desire has never been simply to provide an enjoyable gathering, but that every lady would leave with something lasting from the Word of God.

We hope you enjoyed the fellowship, music, activities, and encouragement of these meetings. More importantly, we pray that the Lord spoke to your heart in a personal way.

Whether you received encouragement during a difficult season, were reminded of a precious promise, or simply enjoyed sweet fellowship with other Christian ladies, we trust that your time at Central Baptist Church was well spent.

Thank you for being part of our 17th Annual Ladies’ Spectacular. We hope to see you again!

We’d Love to Hear What God Did for You!

Did the Lord encourage your heart during the Ladies’ Spectacular? Was there a message, Scripture, song, or conversation that was especially meaningful to you?

Perhaps God gave you strength for a trial, renewed your joy, answered a prayer, or reminded you of His wonderful faithfulness.

We would love to hear your testimony!

Please take a moment to share how the Lord helped you during Sands of Time. Your words will be a blessing and encouragement to those who invested their time and hearts into this conference.

You are also welcome to share suggestions or comments that may help us make future conferences even better.

Your response will be sent privately to our conference team and will not automatically appear publicly on this page.

Above All, To God Be the Glory!

As we look back upon another Ladies’ Spectacular, our hearts overflow with gratitude. We are deeply thankful for every willing worker, every faithful speaker, and every dear lady who joined us. But above all, we give thanks and praise to our wonderful Lord!

Every opportunity to serve, every moment of sweet Christian fellowship, and every truth shared from God’s Word has been made possible by His goodness and grace.

If a weary heart was encouraged, if a burden was lifted, if a decision was made, or if someone was drawn into a closer walk with the Saviour, to God alone belongs the glory!

Our greatest prayer is not that the ladies would remember the decorations, the activities, or even the wonderful efforts of our workers, but that they would remember what the Lord did in their hearts.

As the sands of time continue to fall, may the blessings of these meetings bear fruit for eternity.

“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.” — Psalm 115:1

To God be all the glory for the great things He hath done!

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12
