A WOMAN'S PLACE… WOMEN'S DAY REALIZED

Women's Day 2008 was a very moving and inspirational day. Over 160 women filled our Sanctuary with fellowship, laughter and the sharing of our common hope to overcome our insecurities so that we can be more for God. Many desired to build a relationship with God or join one of our small groups. Some comments from the Day:

“Today was encouraging because it allowed us to see that the qualities we possess as women are gifts, especially those of vulnerability & relationships. We also learned the importance of recognizing Satan's efforts to draw us away from God and ward against his attacks.” (Emily Morris, Sara Young, and Rachel Sills)

“All that Robin shared today touched me in a way that only God can do. She got to the heart of my insecurities and gave me the life line that I so needed.” (Kelly LaMendola)

“What a great day! The fellowship, the fun, the food-both physical and spiritual-all met a need in all of us. I am thankful to have been able to share in this day and to reminded of how precious each of us is to God! Thanks for all of the labors of love that went into this day! (Alison Stowers)

“In Robin's message, women could truly hear God speaking. The security instilled in her by God translated beautifully to her audience and inspired each woman.” (Kristi Hess)

“I really appreciate the simplicity of the connection between the creation & fall of man (& woman): one gift, one attack & one path back to God. It was moving to see for the first time how symbolically God clothed Adam & Eve with garments from sacrificial blood of animals, just as He showed love & compassion to us, by covering our sin with the sacrificial blood of Jesus. (Evelyn Dowery)

“I must meditate on God's word's of encouragement. He loves me so much that He brought Robin from Illinois to help me understand His intimate love for me. A love that started in the beginning, before I even existed. And a love that will last until the end of time.” (Nancy Simmonds)

To God Be The Glory!
