(Tea at Lawrence Chapel)

Great Response at Lawrence Chapel

Saturday, October 1st, was a wonderful "Tea, Me, & Thee" at Lawrence Chapel.  Thirty-three joined us for two hours of fellowship, refreshments, inspiration, and sharing ideas regarding women's ministry in our respective areas.  It is always exciting to be around new leaders.  One shared she recently quit her secular job because she she felt overwhelmed and unable to minister as she would like.  "This is the motivation I needed today.  I can't wait to get started!"

Eleven churches were represented.  It was also a treat to have Presbyter Freddie Harding join us.  Special thanks is extended to Pastor Don Gulledge for his hospitality in providing the church fellowship hall.

We look forward to Saturday, October 15th, where we will be at Jackson that morning (10:00 - 12:00 noon) and then at Southaven (Crown of Life) that evening (5:00 - 7:00 p.m.)  If you are near either of these areas, please join us!

In Memory of a Woman of Grace

We received word this morning Thena Graves, a faithful member of the Roberts Tabernacle church in Westmoreland, Tennessee went to Heaven.  She was a quiet, dedicated Child of God.

We often worshipped with her at women's events and her sweet smile was always a source of encouragement.  Her life modeled what a "Woman of Grace" is intended to be.

Our prayers are for the Holy Spirit to comfort and strengthen her family during this time.  Sister Thena now enjoys in reality what we all hope to attain!  Thank you, God, for a life well lived.

First Women's Meeting at Murfreesboro

(From Local Leader, Peggy Turpin)

Just wanted to let you know that we had our first Ladies meeting last night at Restoration Fellowship. There are so many wonderful Women who are eager to reach out to our community. We did an icebreaker and had questions from What is your favorite bible verse to What's the bravest thing you've ever done. The lesson was entitled "We are all his Diamonds" God is the master craftsman and he is still working on each of us. We had paired prayer time that was a blessing. We then talked about different way we can outreach to the community. We have 20 men and women going to the MTSU tailgating for Christ activity this next Saturday and everyone has been so great to want to go and help or to donate items so we can feed up to 200 people and share the love of Christ before the game. God is so good and He deserves all the Glory! Looking forward to what the Lord is going to continue to do in the Murfreesboro area.

Note:  Peggy and her husband, Todd, have just gone to Murfreesboro (Restoration Fellowship) to pastor beginning in August.  This is their first pastorate.  We believe great things are ahead!

Dyersburg Women's Ministry

We are always thrilled to hear of local church women's ministry activities.  Local leader, Clarissa Hendricks shared:  "Dyersburg Women's Ministry had a Mexican Fiesta Saturday, October 24th.  Our theme was "Life's Pinata".  We used Proverbs 4:23 about the issues of life and discovered we want sweet things (Fruits of the Spirit) spilling from our heart just as sweet candy spills from a pinata.  We had good food, fun, and sweet fellowship."

Clarissa is a new local leader and is full of excitement.  We look forward to hearing of a great year in women's ministry at Dyersburg!
