Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

All Women's Day activities under the leadership of:
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
From my earliest days at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church as a young adult, I would always say to my mother, one day if God finds me worthy, I would be honored to be chair of our Women's Day. I have always had the desire and worked hard with every opportunity afforded. Over the years, I have produced Fashion Shows, numerous Music Concerts, Honoring others, and giving my very best to God for allowing me to bring people together in love and in harmony.
I've been blessed to worship at Vermont Avenue for 38 of the 39 years we've celebrated Women's Day. Over the years, I've worked on the Women's Day Committee, and sing with several of our choirs, including the Women's Day Mass Choir. I've served with the South Carolina Club, and am now President of the Silver Leaf Club. I am a regular member of the Agape Sunday School Class and our Tuesday night Bible class.
This is truly an honor and I give total thanks to God for placing me on the minds of Pastor and Lady Cox and I am ever grateful to the Women of VABC for their commitment to travel on this journey with me as “Women of God Embracing Change.”
My prayer is for the anticipation of all the rich possibilities as we glorify our God, while celebrating each other, as in years past, and that we will continue to excite as we reimagine the possibilities of what can be for many more years to come.
To God Be the Glory!
