Evangelization 2010 at Natchez Convention Center

2010-07-09T17:30:00.002-05:00

Four individuals whose lives have been forever changed will share their incredible stories at the Evangelization 2010 Conference in Natchez, Mississippi on August 27th and 28th. From the chilling story of a man who died in a Paris hospital twenty-five years ago, but returned from what appeared to be the depths of Hell, and his transformation from atheist to protestant minister, to a woman whose witness to the Miracles of Medjugorje carried her to a more enriched spiritual existence, this conference holds great promise of personal spiritual enrichment for those who attend. The conference will be held at The Natchez Convention Center and more information is available in the brochure/registration form. To obtain a form, please call 800-647-6724 or to order tickets, go to www.visitnatchez.org and click on the link at the top of the homepage marked "Evangelization Tickets". Registration forms may also be obtained by contacting Hedy Boelte at hedykboelte@aol.com.

Scrap-N-On The River

2010-05-31T10:38:00.000-05:00

Whether you are an avid scrap-booker or not, this event is simply amazing. You cannot imagine how far scrap booking has come in the last two decades. It's nothing like the scrapbooks your Momma used to keep with newspaper articles and a few supporting photos; no, it's an art in and of itself today. Industry related sales reach a billion dollars annually, and that includes everything from electronic design cutting devices, to stickers, to binding machines, to glittering sprays, and tons more. If you think I'm kidding, just google scrapbook and start browsing all the different sites that are available for scrap booking enthusiasts to peruse. It will boggle your mind. Scrap-N-On the River is held July 23-24 at the Natchez Convention Center and you can visit their website, www.scrapnontheriver.com to learn more or register. There will be upwards of 40 vendors on site this year with all the wares I mentioned above and then some. If you're not a scrap booking connoisseur now, you may quickly become one.
