Speaker this year: Anzella Abernathy
"Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand...Ephesians 6:11
Oh! How we are excited about His Presence, His anointing on our lives. To be dressed in the whole armor of God so that we will be able to stand against the lies, tricks and deceit of the enemy. That we may be able to war for our God. To be able, by the blood of Christ to stand as a Godly Woman, a Godly Mother, a Godly Wife in an ungodly world. To please our Lord and to make our lives count for Him and His glory. To have an influence on our children, our families, our neighbors, our youth and to have an influence in the work place, in the school house, in the church, and in our homes. We may be dressed in a suit, in heels and hat, or jeans and sneakers but on the inside there is a sword drawn, a belt of truth, a breastplate of righteousness, feet shod and prepared with the Gospel of peace, shield of faith in place, and on our heads we wear the helmet of Salvation. With a song in our hearts, a prayer on our lips and the joy of worship we march to the sound of His beat. Not as women of the world but women of the Word.

Come, as our Lord Jesus Christ comes to meet with us. Let us stand shoulder to shoulder in triumph and celebration. Bring your needs, He will be there. Bring your worries and fears, He will be there. Bring your prayer requests, He will be there. The Lord of Hosts and Captain of the armies of Heaven will be there to enable and bless you His Soldier, Dressed to be Blessed.

We will have a hat contest (the most innovative hat) which can be pretty or comical. Ladies we are wearing hats for fun. You are invited to wear hat, heels, and gloves in a victorian, pollyanna, modern, or whatever you like fashion for fun at the banquet or if you prefer to dress down and just wear a hat for the banquet.
Friday night after service, we will enjoy snacks, fellowship and fun.
Please, help me out again this year by bringing a few door prizes. Women enjoy them so much. Thanks you so much for all your help.
