About Today... The Sisters of Sixth Mount Zion will lead us in worship along with the Instruments of Praise and the Women's Day Chorus. We look forward to a good word from our guest preacher. Women who have it in their closets are asked to wear pastels or shades of pink. Women who are able to give a donation above their tithes and offerings are asked to do so and note that it is a Women's Day Offering on their envelope or when giving online. About Yesterday… Our attentions were focused on 5 women of the Bible: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. We listened, we learned, we laughed, we cried, we shared, we sang, we danced, we asked, we answered, we gave, we received, we thought, we guessed, we agreed, we encouraged! We did ALL THE THINGS that women can and will do when prompted by the anointing...Special Thanks to every woman that contributed or served before, during, and after today’s session! To God be the Glory! Oh, What a Time! ( Deacon Val Short) Deacon Short has uploaded A LOT of photos in the Women's Ministry group on Realm Connect. Sisters, check them out! We are still in the story. Through scripture, drama, music, movement and discussion...we learned about how the stories about women in the Bible continue to be relevant for women today. (Sister Sharon Taylor)

Our Women’s Weekend theme this year is Still in the Story: Say Her Name . Our focus scripture is Matthew 1, which lists Jesus' genealogy. There five women are intentionally named across forty-two generations. Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, the wife of Uriah, and Mary remind us that God’s redemptive story has always moved through women whose lives were complex, courageous, and often marginalized. At the same time, the genealogy points to at least 37 other women whose names were never recorded, yet whose faith, labor, and love carried the promise forward. We pray that Still in the Story: Say Her Name honors both the women we can name, and the women history did not, affirming that even when unnamed or unseen, women have always been central to what God is doing in the world. Register by March 8, 2026. NOTE: The Women's Weekend events are FREE. The form gives you an option to give your Women's Day Offering while registering. Payment is NOT required to register online. You can register online without providing your credit card information.
