Murfreesboro has a heart for Missions!

So Blessed to have so many wonderful ladies help with making Dresses for missions. We are having doors open in Africa, India, Paraguay and Haiti as well as some places here in the States. So excited to be helping in a small way to be a blessing to a young lady in another country. A big Thanks to all of the ladies who are donating materials or volunteering their time. God Bless Each one of you. We will be having another sewing night soon. Be looking for a date. So far we have completed 65 dresses and we have materials to make 35 more--100 dresses "Praise the Lord"

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!"

The 2012 "Women's Spring Spectacular" is only ONE week away!  There is still room if you want to attend.  Email londajoy@aol.com and let us know you are coming so we can make certain we have the correct amount of chairs and food.

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!!!!

Spring Spectacular - Extension of "Early Bird"

Wow!  The excitement is almost palpable now as days get closer for the Tennessee Women’s “Spring Spectacular” planned for May 18-19 at the Marriott, Cool Springs in Franklin.  Specials THANKS to those who have already registered!

Due to Spring Break and the Easter holiday, we are EXTENDING the “Early Bird” registration to April 25^th.  This will give an extra Sunday for promotion and time to collect deposit funds.  We are required to give a rooming list to the hotel April 26^th.  We will honor the “early bird” registration fee with any application post-marked by April 25^th.  After that, we will have to have the full amount.  Please send applications ASAP and save at least $15.00.

We sense this to be a “touch of Heaven” that you will NOT want to miss!

Many difficulties come into our lives.  How wonderful to know we are “HELD by Grace!”  Please remember if you need additional applications, you can go to www.tnwomenofgrace.com and click on events.  There is an application there for printing!  We hope to hear from you soon!
