Women’s Spectrum writer information
Writers are invited to submit articles now on the theme for 2012-2013:
Theme: Unleashing Grace
How have you seen the power of grace? If you have a story of how God’s grace has been unleashed in your life, through your life, or in the life of someone you know, we’d love to hear it. Several years ago the Spectrum focused on how grace transforms us. This year we will explore the powerful dynamic of grace as we receive it and extend it to others.
Theme Verse: “This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.” (Colossians 1:6, NLT)
