Join us at the 13th Annual:
"Journey of the Heart" Conference

May 13-15, 2011
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 and dove release.

Conference Fee Includes
A lovely room overlooking the water at the Wyndham Hotel Orange County (transportation to/from John Wayne Airport) for two nights/three days, dinner Friday evening, breakfast Saturday morning, lunch Saturday, dinner Saturday evening and breakfast Sunday morning. The conference fee and materials for workshops are also included. A letter with directions and further information will be sent to you at least two weeks prior to the conference.

Payment in full is greatly encouraged at least two weeks prior to the conference date as the hotel requests payment in advance. You may register through PayPal for only the amounts specified for deposit or total conference fee. All other payments need to be mailed to: Umbrella Ministries, Post Office Box 1663, Westminster, CA 92684

Scholarships are available for moms attending the conference for the first time. Requests need to be submitted to the ministry board prior to April 13, 2011 for approval. Even though our scholarship fund is limited, it is our greatest prayer to help moms attend the conference that would not be able to without financial help.

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!"
