Churches Hold Combined Women’s Ministry Mini Retreat

By Lynda Phelps, Lynda Phelps, Mayo 07, 2015

The Junction City, Santa Clara (Eugene) and Veneta churches in Oregon, hosted the seventh annual Women’s Ministry Mini Retreat on Sunday, March 15. The theme, “Women Walking in Faith,” was taken from Ps. 90:17.

Beth Boram from the Cottage Grove (Ore.) Church spoke about righteousness by faith for the morning program, and Janice Nelson from Yreka, Calif., portrayed Martha, the sister of Mary and Lazarus, for the afternoon program.

Vi Reddick, Pam Shipley and Dede King inspired with beautiful spiritual music throughout the day. Eileen Swegle showcased needlework from the ladies of Bangladesh. Melissa Hernandez and her helpers provided a luncheon of crepes, fruit and more. A blessing was enjoyed by all who attended.
