to our schedule for that month:
JENNIFER HUBBARD “A Call to Personal Holiness”
Tuesday, Oct. 15
Jennifer Hubbard graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College holding a Bachelor of Arts in art history and communi-cations. Upon graduating from college, she worked for a For-tune 100 company for nine years. Jennifer left the professional workforce to raise her two children, Frederick and Catherine.
Her youngest child, Catherine Violet, was a victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Jennifer's family established a non profit in Catherine’s memory and are building the Cathe-rine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary® in Newtown, CT.
Having spoken to audiences across the country, Jennifer shares her personal journey of recovery in the wake of her darkest hours. Her remarks provide real life and practical insight into how God continues to fulfill his promises of protection, provi-sion and healing.
