Welcome to our first blog post for the TWIG. What is the TWIG? It is intended to be a resource for our women at Burnt Hickory. We will strive to keep it positive and informative at all times. We would love to hear from you as we post to you on a weekly basis. This is an open blog to the women of the church...if you have an article you would like to share please feel free to submit it to us for review.
Coming off of our
annual Women’s Retreat at Burnt Hickory, we can truly say that we are a blessed
church. We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the beautiful facility Cohutta Springs Conference Center, in the N.
Georgia mountains and so many women were touched by what Peg Fewell had to say
and all the hard work that Waleska White, Ann Ashley and Myrna Chapple put into
planning and implementing this event…Thank you ladies!
Looking back at
where we have been with our women’s ministry and the rich history we have, Janice,
Tracie and myself are looking forward to continuing to grow our ministry and
build it into a ministry that will truly bless women of all ages and walks of
life as we strive to teach Bible, make disciples and experience community.
Our theme for this
year will be taken from Jeremiah 29:11-13, “For I know the plans I have for you,”
declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you
will call on me and come
and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will
seek me and find me when you seek me with all
your heart.”
We have so many great ideas going through our
hearts that we may have to narrow them down a bit but please know that we are
working hard to build a ministry that will speak well of our female saints at
Burnt Hickory.
We ask that you will keep us in your prayers
through the next few years as we try to best lead us all in a stronger and
closer relationship to the Lord and one another. Feel free to come to us with
your ideas and dreams and we look forward to hearing from you.
Made in His Image,
Tracie Shields, Judi Sparks and Janice Stroud
