Women of Hope~Renewal was amazing! We had a great turn out! The atmosphere was filled with joy, comfort, laughter, and definitely was filled with the Lord’s presence! The brunch was an awesome smorgasbord of food. We had a good variety of: a fruit mix, cookies, coffee cake, sausage, bacon, breakfast casserole, chicken smothered in gravy with rice….and a few other goodies! We’ll have to remember to take a picture of the food next time. Lol We had a raffle and gave away some great gifts to the ladies!
Worship was lead by Mrs. Tanya Sturm. She is the wife of Pastor Russell Sturm and leads worship at their church, New Hope Community Church, in Rodeo. This young lady was powerful and I know I definitely felt the Lord’s presence during worship!
Our speaker, Mrs. Ginger Hohm, gave an awesome message! She spoke on the “Woman at the Well,” and related it “Defining Moments.”
A “Defining Moment” is when you are confronted with a new truth or a forgotten truth and you have to make a decision to either embrace this truth and deal with the discomfort it brings, or reject it without making any changes and living your life in a very comfortable state. Defining Moments are always uncomfortable at first, like walking out of a dark room and into the bright sunlight. However, if you allow your eyes to adjust, you will gradually become comfortable with your new surroundings.
She asked a couple of women to share their “defining moment” and they were amazing! Ginger’s message was powerful and right on time! I could see that the women were all touched by what she was saying.
Thank you Mrs. Emilie Williams for the delicious brunch! It was great! We are so blessed to have you!
Thank you Tanya for leading us into worship! We were all touched by your beautiful voice and your love for the Lord!
And last but not least, thank you Ginger for your message! I had a “defining moment” as I was listening to your message & during your prayer! I know some of the other women did too.
Thank you to all the women that attended, I pray that the Lord blessed you with just what you needed on Saturday! Thank you for sharing this Kick Off event of 2010 with Women of Hope. We enjoy hosting these events and bringing women together in the name of Jesus! Of course we enjoyed the food & fellowship, too!
