The first ever Gather Women Manitoba event is coming up next weekend, feaeturing a host of incredible speakers.

Gather Women Manitoba takes place on Saturday, June 3. It will be a day of bible teaching, worship, and a chance to hear from some incredible Canadian Christian women. The speakers include Sharon Michalski, Wilma Derkesen, Helen Burns and more.

Heather Boersma will also be speaking at the conference. She will be talking about the difference between transparency and vulnerability.

"It's something I think is the first step to creating true connection between women," Boersma said. "We're really good at being transparent, which is 'here, I'll tell you what's going on in my life.'

"Vulnerability is 'I'm actually going to let you affect my world.'"

This conference is aiming to bring leaders together, women who have a heart for their community, Boersma said.

"When women join forces and put aside those comparisons and the competitions, the force that they are is so much greater," she said.

Tickets are $39 and the event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 3.
