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!!!!
