What a blessing Spirit-filled, Holy Ghost led, women are to the and in the Kingdom of God. Women have always contributed to the furtherance of the Kingdom in a significant manner. The New Testament is rich in examples of Godly women used mightily by the Lord in the early church. It has been this Pastor’s good fortune to have known, and to know, Godly women who model the examples of the women of the early church. What a blessing!
When this Pastor came to this church in 1973, there were caring, working, warm, and loving women who loved the Lord and His church, and sought the best for their new Pastor. (Just as there is now). Women like Addie Lee Dogan, a nurturer personified. Boy, did she love her Pastor and his family. Minnie Ola Branch Johnson, who was the musician and quite a soloist; Clara Ellis, who was a culinary artist extraordinaire. (Sister Ellis could feed a multitude with one watermelon). Then there was Melvina “Su Su” Ennis, also a nurturer. (Who would remind the Pastor that she “voted for him”). Also there was (and still is) Katherine Holloway, a worker and a blessing. Thank you “Ms. Katherine”. Praise God for Verdell Cooper, Catherine Miller and Ivy Miller, workers indeed, whom the Lord has received unto Himself. How faithful our heavenly Father has been. Through-out these thirty-six years, God has always provided women who love the Lord and are seeking the furtherance of His Kingdom. (And for that I am grateful).
Be Blessed ladies as we celebrate Women’s Annual Day
