Page5A BIG WOMEN’S DAY THANK YOU!
My first assignment as Vice President of the United Methodist Women, was
to Chair Women’s Day. I might have Chaired Women’s Day, but it was the
Committee and Participants that made the day a Success. Rev. Marie
Wilson Johnson did an excellent job telling us to “Believe it.” We chose the
perfect Honorees, Venita Jones, Ashlee George, and Reverend Dorothy
Williams, who have earned these Honors and then some. The Easter Hill
Doves outdid themselves and the addition of Rev. Wilson-Johnson’s son to
the group was the “Icing on the cake.” The addition of the Sanctuary Pastel
Flowers gave the room a calm and beautiful atmosphere that all could
admire and enjoy. (Y’all know who did it!) The Ensemble and songs
provided by the Music Department were excellent! The Readers, read, the
young men Assisted, the Ushers, ushered, The greeters, greeted, and the
speakers, spoke! In conclusion, I cannot mention everyone, but the
Women’s Day Committee, which started planning about 6 weeks ago made
it all happen through zoom, in-person, emails, texts, and phone calls.
Thanks to all of you!
Your Sister-in Christ,
Karolyn Langston
