Saturday eveing, May 12th, was our 2007 Mother's Day Banuqet. Sister Renee Sutton was our hostess and she did a fabulous job. The room was beautiful and was full of Mothers, Daughters, Grandmothers, Grand-daughters and even Great Grand-daughters. My daughter-in-law, Amy, came with me and that was such a blessing to me.
Sister Lynn Raper and her Mother, Gracelyn Ray, prepared the food, which was delicious. Many of the ladies in attendance prepared and brought desserts and they were yummy! The evening started with a "Welcome" from Renee, Lisa Stidham asked the blessing over our food and we chowed down. We listened to a beautiful song from a son to his mother, it brought tears to the eyes of most of us, especially the ones who has a son.
Sister Cynthia Stidham introduced our special guest, Former Indiana State Women's Ministry Director, Sister Paulette Ramsey, who now is part of our Alabama church family at Harris Chapel Church of God of Prophecy. Sister Ramsey spoke to us about the "Awsome Gift from God" in being a mother." And what a privilege it is.
Our Mother of the Year, Sister Nancy McCarley, was out of town. We held off on announcing the winner until the Sunday morning service. We ended the evening by giving each lady in attendance a small token of our appreciation, a cookbook with recepies submitted by many of the ladies from our congregation and prepared by a few of our women from the Yahweh Sisterhood, Sister Renee, Sister Angela Fincher, and me.
Thank you to all that joined us. A special thank you to Sister Renee and Sister Angela for all of their hard work and to Sister Paulette for her insight into motherhood. Thanks to all of the men and women who helped us set up and to those who helped us clean up.
May God Bless You All! I hope you had a Wonderful Mother's Day!
Love and prayers,
Tina Stults
