2021 Women’s Conference
Tuesday, July 13th - Jewelry Making Class.
The week began with a jewelry making class and consisted of two ladies along with Pat Ramsay, and was a continuation from previous years when they had gotten together after indicating an interest in learning more and improving their capabilities.
Wednesday morning, July 14 - Ministry at Maranatha Christian Church in Waterhouse.
There were 62 ladies in attendance and the theme/topic was “Women, Vessels of Honour.” The session focused on the analogy of the process of making clay pots to minister how God uses even the hardships of life to make us into beautiful vessels. Each lady received a small clay jar as a reminder.
Wednesday evening, July 14th - Ministry at Ebenezer Tabernacle Church in Rockfort.
The theme was “Created to Soar” and Pastor Dino’s children book titled “Caterpillars can Fly” was used as a basis for the ministry. Over 60 attendants were present, and were all encouraged to dream again in God and pursue their dream with His guidance. Each person received a copy of the book and in addition, a number of butterfly keyrings made by one of the ladies from the previous year’s Cottage Industry sponsorship was also distributed with additional ministry to those recipients.
Saturday, July 17 - Ministry at Comingle Hotel in Savanna-La-Mar.
Partnering with Lorraine Rainford, a local friend of the Ministry, the event hosted 40 ladies and the theme was the same as was in Kingston, “Women, Vessels of Honour.” The tokens were small silk scarves in brown paper bags, as a reminder that “beauty can be hidden in the mundane.”
Sunday, July 18 - Ministry at Maranatha Christian Church in Waterhouse.
This time around, the entire church was in attendance; men, women, and children. A sister church from St. Mary was also invited to attend, which brought the number in attendance to about 80 persons. The theme was “Are you a Carrier?” Using the present pandemic and mask- mandate as the basis of the ministry, they were challenged to watch the words that are spoken on a daily basis, and encouraged to be mindful of what they ‘passed on’ to others – whether poisonous contagion or words of hope and encouragement, as they explored the notion that life and death lies in the tongue. Everyone was given either a beaded ring or keyring to remind them of what they “carry.”
