PREP 2009, "Flowers in the Desert," focused on Sister-Care with input from board member, Carolyn Holderread Heggen. Held February 27-28 at Trinity Mennonite Church in Phoenix, Arizona, MW USA hosted with Pacific Southwest MW.  Attendees exchanged names to be prayer partners for the coming year.

   

Mennonite Women USA invites conference MW leaders from across the United States to a resource gathering and networking retreat alternating every 18 months in August or February--PREP-Preparing, Resourcing, Encouraging, and Praising. 

           
 A highlight of the week-end was a tour of the Phoenix Botanical Garden seeing desert flowers and the Chihuly glass display.
