Ruth Kelly and Billie Garner recently attended the Alabama/Mississippi Presbyterian Women's Conference at Belhaven College in Jackson, MS. We give thanks for this opportunity.
Highlighting the gathering was the overview of the PW Bible Study for 2007-2008, entitled "Above and Beyond: Hearing God's Call in Jonah and Ruth." This study was presented in four sessions by Rev. Janice Catron of Louisville, Kentucky.
Melinda Hatcher of Hernando, MS made a presentation on Camp Hopewell's 'Christians Living With Cancer' Family Camp. Proceeds from the Market Place (gift shop) which totaled $2,775.65 will be given to this cause. Thank you to all our ladies who provided gift items for the Market Place.
Tony Franks was back again as the conference music leader. He conducted the morning and evening singing sessions, which were filled with enthusiasm and an up-lifting spirit.
Two cents a meal was collected at each meal; those proceeds, totaling $67.11, will be sent to our Synod's "Living Water for the World" project.
This conference was a time of learning and growing in faith, visiting with old friends, making new friends and becoming better informed about the work and mission of Presbyterian Women. We wish that every Presbyterian woman in our church could participate in such an interesting and inspiring event.
