A Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend Luncheon held at Concord University, Athens WV

I spent Saturday with two of my sisters  attending the Mt. Jackson Baptist Church Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend Luncheon at the Concord University.  Concord University is located in Athens, West Virginia in Mercer County.  Nestled in the beautiful mountains of southern West Virginia and known as the Four Seasons Country!

The room was full of women on this warm and beautiful day. The luncheon was planned and hosted by Phyllis Rice.

After the welcome and opening prayer, attendees were served a delicious lunch and listened to a special song by Brenda Beckner "I Want to be Mary for a While". 

The guest speaker was Deanna Bartlett from Anderson, SC.  She spoke  from the "Believing God" Bible study discussing five points to claiming your identity in Christ. 

1. God is who He says He is.
2. God can do what He says He can do.
3. I am who God says I am.
4. I can do all things through Christ.
5. God's Word is Alive and Active in me.

Ms. Bartlett read a quote from Beth Moore, "I don't think the biggest threat to our Christianity is humanism or the host of world religions.  Our biggest threat is cut and paste Christianity.  If man places his faith in a God he has recreated in his own image, has he placed his faith in God at all?"

When Ms. Bartlett started talking she said that "when the Lord teaches you something, teach it to others."  And, that is exactly what she did today. 

All the women present had a great afternoon and heard about how faith and prayer will help in our daily lives.  I was so glad my sister invited me to this wonderful fellowship with mothers, daughters, sisters and friends.
