Join us at the 12th Annual:
"Journey of the Heart" Conference

May 15-17, 2009
Wyndham Hotel Orange County
3350 Avenue of the Arts
Costa Mesa, CA 92626

An annual women’s retreat and workshops designed for mothers who have experienced the loss of a child. The Conference is designed to uplift mothers physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The speakers will share insights on grief and the tools with which to cope. The added benefit of meeting new friends who are walking on the same road and journey towards healing will be rewarding. At the conference we are able to give and receive comfort from one another. It is a time of sharing, caring, bonding and the making of lasting friendships. Plus, a special time of celebrating and remembering our children through a beautiful candlelight program.

Shared Blessings from the Conference

"Thank you for a very wonderful weekend. I felt very pampered, loved and safe."

"The conference was awesome! It is wonderful to see the love and care that Umbrella Ministries takes to provide a safe and caring environment. The joy that we can share with each other and the strength we draw from each other. There are no words to express the hope that I had in my heart when I came home."

"I am indeed filled with comfort and what a beautiful memory of His comfort through Umbrella Ministries! Bless you and all the lovely ones who made the comfort possible this weekend. I already have a ‘deep’ love and affection for the ‘sisters in loss’ and look forward to our next ‘reunion’. At the end of the weekend, though I came in pain, I left with a ‘song in my heart’ and newfound joy and laughter which I thought was lost to me. I can’t wait to see you all again."

"I am always surprised by God! I was amazed as I watched the change in their countenance take place in only a few hours. I think that every woman there was changed and filled with hope! I wish I had words to describe this to everyone, but it's like describing the beauty of a spring morning or the peace of a calm lake in the early evening ... impossible!"
