We have been learning to “Abide in Worship” and “Abide in the Spirit” over the past two years. God deserves our worship and inhabits the praises of His people - and it is in that praise that we can expect a move of God. God certainly did not disappoint with the many miracles that He performed among our women as shared at our 2025 WM Retreat. To God be the glory for all that He has done! How encouraging it is to hear of the testimonies of God’s miracles over our women. Those testimonies serve as reminders to each of us that our God is alive, hears our prayers, and is faithful to His promises.

Our 2026 theme is “Abide in Community.” This year’s scripture comes from Hebrews 10:25, (NIV). “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”We can certainly see “the Day approaching.” With that in mind, we must be vigilant to “meet together,” “Abide in Worship,” and “Abide in the Spirit” so that we can be effective while we “Abide in Community.” May we agree in prayer that we remain in Him so that our light will shine in the darkness, and that it will lead others to Christthroughout whatever community we find ourselves.

Serving with you,
