It's Time To Spread Our Wings And Fly!

Hi ladies! Its been a long time, but its a brand new year, a new season and we are starting fresh here at WABC Women's Ministry! Starting with our annual Women's Day program. This year the theme is "A Fresh Start" Women Leading and Living With Purpose! In the spirit of a fresh start we will be hosting our Women's Day program on Sunday May 15th at 11:30 AM. The speaker will be our very own Lady J! The following Saturday (May 21st at 1 PM) the Women's Ministry team invites you to a free luncheon at WABC where we will honor the "Legends" of WABC, our "seasoned" women. So ladies pull out the brighest yellow outfit you own and get ready for a Fresh Start! For more info please speak with Cyndi Jennings.

Making Strides

Thanks to your generous donations we were able to raise $179.00 towards the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk which was held yesterday morning at Harbor Park in Norfolk. Special thanks to the young ladies who walked with me in support, and to my hubby for coming out to take pictures. I appreciate your commitment to the cause. Ladies don't forget we are going Pink the entire month of October. Once again thank you for your support.

Going Pink!

In honor of breast cancer awareness and our upcoming participation in the Cancer Walk next week we are asking the women of WABC to wear something pink each Sunday during the month of October. Also even if you can't walk with the team we could still use your prayers, donations and if you would like to cheer us on please join us next Saturday October 9th at Harbor Park.

Cancer Walk

Its that time again ladies! We are looking for women to join us in the Making Strides for Cancer Walk being held on October 9th in Norfolk. Last year we came close to making our goal, but this year we are looking for at least 10 women to join us in this very important cause. If you are unable to join us we would love it you made a donation on behalf of the Women's Ministry at WABC. For more info please go here. If you are interested in participating please contact Cyndi Jennings.

WOF 2010

Even though there were only a few of us. We had a great time at the WOF Conference in DC. So much so that the ladies decided they want to go back again next year! Of course I can never turn down a request from my daughters. So ladies, just because you missed it this year does not mean that you have to miss it next year. As a matter of fact I will share a little secret with you...one of the special guest next year will be MaryMary! So start putting those pennies away now.

The Fall is coming and the Women's Ministry will be planning some awesome events that you will want to be a part of. More info on that to come, including our new partnership with Girlfriend's Unlimited. I can't wait to share more details, so stay tuned!

A Calling On Your Life!

Last weekend we wrapped up our Women's Weekend Experience. Our guest speaker was my very good friend Rev. Dr. Pamela Chandler Lee. Pam and I have been friends for over 17 yrs. Although she is much younger them me I feel like I have learned so much from her about leadership. That day she told me how proud she was of me, that I have blossomed over the last few years ( when we met I was very shy, and did little or no talking). Marc likes to blame my girlfriends for this change in me, but in all honesty its God who has brought about the change.

I have so much to be thankful for, I have gone to places I never thought I would see. I have lived a life I never thought I deserved and I have met and been able to call some amazing people friend I never thought I would meet. I told Pam that the only reason I have grown is because God gave me no other choice! He demanded a price from me I couldn't ignore, he paid the ultimate price so that I might live. I owe everything I have to him. And because I owe him, and can never repay the debt I must do his will. That includes talking about some difficult times, leading in some painful places and sharing my story so that other's might see his glory through the life that I live. He took an ordinary girl, and created an extra ordinary life so that I might tell others about an extraordinary man name Jesus! What has God called you to do?
