Evening of Inspiration 2026: Expecting Miracles

Every year we bring together ministry partners, volunteers, residents, and community prayer warriors to share an evening praising God and learning how He has been working in the lives of those we serve. This year our theme is Expecting Miracles, and it’s a bit of a misnomer since this year has already been blessed with some incredible testimonies of just that kind of thing! The Lord has shown up in very real, amazing ways for women who are crushed in spirit and brokenhearted. The ways He demonstrated his love this year will refresh and encourage your soul when you hear about them.

Even so, we expect God to continue his work in the lives of those we serve. The Evening of Inspiration is an important part of our strategy to cover yearly operating expenses so that we can continue to be the body of Christ for the women in our community.

You still have an opportunity to be part of that special evening and support the ministry of Guiding Light. Please reserve your table by Friday October 2, 2026 if you plan to attend!
