Spring Women's Events


We are very excited about upcoming plans for “Women of Grace” in Tennessee this Spring.  TWO events are planned with a desire to reach as many ladies as possible for refreshing, renewal, and fellowship.  You are invited to join us at one of them or both!  These events will be different in location and planning.  They will share one thing in common….the presence of the Holy Spirit.  We believe He will honor us with His presence because we are inviting His will and moving among us!

To honor the wishes of some, we are returning this one time to the campground.

Tennessee LADIES DAY is scheduled for April 5-6, 2013 at “Camp Hickory Hills”.  Registration will begin at 3:00 p.m. Friday afternoon with the evening service beginning at 7:00 p.m. CST.  Guest Speaker will be Donna Howard from Alabama.  She is a gifted, anointed, woman of God.

Some have requested a week-end long event, so we are delighted to offer:

Tennessee Women’s SPRING SPECTACULAR is scheduled for May 3-5, 2013 at the beautiful Music Road Hotel & Convention Center in Pigeon Forge!  Registration will begin at 4:00 p.m. Friday afternoon and the evening General Session will begin at 7:00 p.m. ET.  Guest Speaker will be Pastor Joyce Cannon from Ohio.  Joyce is a dynamic  speaker and will share of her many mission trips to India.

We hope you can join us at least one or both of these events.  This year’s theme is: “UP!”  We intend to give God our Utmost Praise!  When we live a life of praise we are tuned into the frequency of Heaven.  The devil will not stick around in a life that is heaven bent on praise to our God!

Please find an application for you to use and share.  Any additional information may be directed to my attention (londajoy@aol.com).  God bless you today.  We hope to hear from you soon!

Announcing a Season to L.I.F.T.


Tennessee Women of Grace is beginning  a season of “L.I.F.T” and you are invited!

“Wherefore LIFT UP the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.”  Hebrews 12:12-13
We have been called to LIFT.

1)      LIFT our hands (in worship)

2)      LIFT others (in prayer and deed)

3)      LIFT our world (be a light and source of hope)

4)      LIFT ourselves (be encouraged in the Lord)
Our mission is not to put down, but to LIFT!  We hope YOU will join us in the journey.  We are not going down, we are going up!  We will LIFT each other on the way.  We are (L)adies (I)n (F)aith & (F)ellowship (T)ogether!

How have your experienced LIFT today?

Spring Spectacular Praise Report

"I just wanted to say "Thank You" for a wonderful Spring Spectacular. All of the hard work that you and your staff do is truly appreciated. Having this event at the Franklin Marriott Convention Center was "FABULOUS"! It was so convenient and such a beautiful place. It was nice to feel relaxed and pampered without having to drive several miles to the services. Not to mention the food was delicious! Having everything contained in one location also allowed us ladies time to meet and greet, and you know we love to greet!
The Spirit filled services, the preaching, the worship music....everything was great! The only thing that could have made it any better would be to add another day to the event!
Dyersburg COGOP had 8 beautiful ladies attend this past weekend, and boy did we have a time in the Lord. Our local Women's Ministry Director, Sister Clarissa Hendricks, is doing a fantastic job! God is truly blessing us and we Praise Him!"

Hurry, Spring Spectacular Rooms Going Fast!

Dear Friends:

I am so excited! I had the opportunity to meet with Marriott staff this past Friday and work on final arrangements for the Spring Spectacular – May 18 & 19. I believe we are going to have an unbelievable time as we worship together and focus on being “Held by Grace”.

Many took advantage of the early-bird rate. In fact, as of today, I only have (4) remaining rooms of the reservation block at the Marriott, Cool Springs. I didn't have these rooms available until I moved from people around! If you are interested and want the available room/s, please let me know TODAY and I will hold it for you.

I have revised the application so that you may stay off-site in one of these facilities, have retreat covered meals with us, and pay only $45.00. That way, you are paying no more. In fact, get a “great rate” and you may pay even less! You can print the revised application from the website www.tnwomenofgrace.com

We have plenty room in the General Session area and want YOU to be with us. (If you have already registered, thank you!) We are simply trying to make certain we get the word out to everyone.

Please be my prayer partner for an awesome “Spring Spectacular”! I am seeing many new names and that is very exciting. Of course, I always enjoy getting to see familiar faces again.

God bless you today! Only 16 days and we’ll be there!!!!
