The Women of Faith Ministry of Second Missionary Baptist Church announced the 2024 Women’s Retreat featuring a panel of dynamic and inspiring women from throughout the city. This year’s theme, “Christian Women Being Servants of God through Discipleship,” provides the framework from which five panelists (including a mother/daughter duo) will address the role of service through discipleship using the background reference in Mark 16:9-16.
The retreat is a two-day event beginning with registration on Friday, Aug. 23, at 5:30 p.m. and a 6 p.m. Praise and Prayer Service featuring worship leader and moderator Rev. Karen Collins of Greater Tucker Missionary Baptist Church. Registration continues on Saturday, Aug. 24, at 8:30 a.m. with a continental breakfast, opening devotion and panel discussion. The keynote speaker will be Minister Joyce Taylor, Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Lafayette, Ga.
Lunch is included on Saturday, along with a custom designed t-shirt, materials, and souvenir bag. To register for this inspirational experience, call or stop by the church office with your $50 reservation fee made payable to Second Missionary Baptist Church by Wednesday, Aug. 21.
