On Saturday, the ladies (and men!) of High Mountain Church held their annual Ladies Tea. It was a beautiful night of music and ministry, food and fellowship, and of course, the drawing for beautiful baskets, gift certificates and other items!

Ladies,
Thank you for making our night so special.
.
In particular:
Cherie – thank you for sharing such beautiful music, especially the song “Brave”. I know it was out of your comfort zone, and you were so brave! Those lyrics have long ministered to me, and I am so thankful that you were willing to share it. And somehow you worked your magic to transform that unattractive gym into a lovely environment (so mod & groovy!!).
.
Nancy – you do an awesome job with the baskets, from creation to presentation. (Hmmm – He created us and will present us faultless before His throne! Sorry, I’m just too corny sometimes!)
.
Susan – you have set a vision and so beautifully demonstrate the grace of God as you are the glue that holds it all together.
.
I know that there were many others who worked so hard to make the evening so special for all who attended. It was an example of the body of Christ working effectively together. Some were the eyes, seeing the need and casting a vision. Some were the feet running to and fro, while others were the ears and heart listening and ministering comfort.
.
The message I shared was about conquering fear, and I’ll be sharing bits and pieces here and there within the weeks to come. Until then, let me just say – I am a living testimony that God can bring us through those doors, past the thresholds of fear, enabling to walk in victory.
.
Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:57

Hi Susan,
I didn’t get an opportunity to see you before we left last night. I wanted to let you know what an amazing talk you gave last night. You seemed organized, confident and well versed on the subject. I brought a couple of friends with me and your speech was quite the topic on our drive home. I hope to give you some additional feedback at our next Bible study on the 14th.
Bravo!!
