"The Scoop: What's in Your Toolbox?"

it was all about how to use God's tools to face major events in life!

GOT TOOLS? Have you ever gotten to the end of your rope in a situation, where the only thing you could do is tie a knot and hang on? One of the greatest tools is knowing that God can be part of that 3-stranded cord. God is the knot and glue that keeps you from unraveling. We learned about these tools at “The Scoop: What’s in Your Toolbox?” We got down to the brass tacks of faith and arming ourselves with God’s word to face your challenges. Our toolbox were packed full of real ways to use the tools we’re given—in real world application, plying it to our problems and weakening the hold they have on us.

ARMOR UP! Whether it’s suiting up in the armor of God to avoid office politics, dealing with “sandpaper people,” troubled relationships, emotional struggles—or knowing that you can do all things through Christ because he provides the strength you need to get through the day. It always helps to have a full toolbox! You may be a seasoned Christian and think you have all the tools at your disposal, or maybe you are new to your faith. There are always more power-tools to learn about. Like Rosie the Riveter, We were saying, “We can do ANYTHING in Christ!”

SOME COMMENTS FROM THE AUGUST 18TH CONNECT & WORSHIP:

"A beautiful time of worship & sharing. The flow of the Holy Spirit was noticeably present as we watched others surrender, receive and be blessed by the Lord as well as each one of us working together as one body of the Lord to make this event happen. You are all amazing Women of God. Can't wait to see what's in store for September gathering."

"It was a beautiful, spirit-filled day. All did great. The beach discussion was perfect and the worship was amazing! God was truly blessed today by His daughters."

"It was a beautiful day full of meaningful messages. God sure uses every hurt and every pain for His glory...and every Scoop!"

"You ladies are such a beautiful blessing! I hope that you are aware of this. This event fills my heart. Words fail me."

Our 2018 planning retreat: rest, reflect, connect!

We had the "The Meltdown" in 2016, and "Overflowed" in 2017! We gathered after our biggest conference yet, the 10th anniversary in 2017 where Share the Scoop had evolved as the ice cream shifted shape. After 10 years of conferences with an all volunteer staff and teams, leadership decided to take scale it back a bit for this year with a simpler event to make it all about the Lord and less about the speakers. So at the 2017 planning retreat, we figured out ways to connect and to try to make it free for the first time since Scoop's mission ignited in 2008. After several great ideas and brainstorming during the retreat, we landed on the theme of "Rest, Reflect, Connect". So we came up with multiple thoughts of how we would come up with an event or community events. As our friend Lorri Smith said all the time—before joining the Lord on High, "We are better together," so 2018 is going to be the year of two "Connect & Worship" events. It's simplified from the bigger conferences of the past with keynote speakers. We'll just get down to praising and glorifying the Lord. Our retreat gift of a “sandy” sea-salt bath salts, started us off in that relaxed state of mind! And here we go~connecting with our toes in the "sand"!

OUR PLANNING TEAMS RETREATED in 2017

WE START OUR 10TH YEAR WITH THE OVERFLOW CONFERENCE

The Scoop has been going strong for 9 solid years, and with our program team's prayerful vision, "Share the Scoop" has evolved to go to a deeper level, to nourish women, while helping women to dive in further to God's word. "The Overflow" Conference is still going to have the ice cream "Scooptacular" to top everything off, but we are going to find Jesus' living water, to find our joy in the overflow.
