SpringHill Camps MI Spring WomenвЂ™s Retreat 2013 | 4 OUR SPEAKER AND WORSHIP LEADER HANNAH OUELLETTE Denver, CO Hannah has a passion to see women of all ages rise up and step into all God has called them to be. Her heart is to bring strength to the local church and passion to women. Hannah served in youth ministry with her husband for 10 years at Cornerstone Church in Highland, MI, before moving with her family to Denver last fall to help plant Thrive Church. Hannah also travels and speaks nationally, and founded a conference called Awaken, which creates moments for young women to have a divine encounter with God and fulfill their destiny in Him. Hannah and her husband Jacob have two young children. website: http://www.awakenconference.net facebook: hannahfouellette twitter: @hannahouellette ALANNA STORY Indianapolis, IN In the fall of 2008, sisters Ally and Anna felt led to pursue their original music and began gathering other musicians with a similar passion for worship and a vision for awakening; it was then that Alanna Story was born. Two years later, they added AllyвЂ™s husband, Stephen West (el. Guitar), Joel Burkhead (bass), and Ben Hodge (drums) to the Alanna Story family. Combining incredible talents and more importantly sincere hearts for worship, the band creates a powerful, energetic atmosphere for others to encounter the presence of God. As God faithfully continues to open doors and expand their territory both as original artists and as lead worshippers, Alanna StoryвЂ™s main pursuit remains: to love Jesus and lead others to the throne room of God. website: www.alannastory.com facebook: alannastorymusic twitter: @alannastory itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/alanna-story/id337085849 youtube: http://youtube.com/user/alannastory SpringHill Camps MI Spring WomenвЂ™s Retreat 2013 | 5 BREAKOUT SESSIONS Breakout sessions are offered Saturday afternoon and allow you to choose topics and speakers that interest you.
