Congratulations and Thanks to the Women's Group! ~ by Phyllis Booth

The Women's Day speaker truly showed how the Women of the Bible are connected to Jesus in God's plan for our salvation. Most Christians know the role the Virgin Mary played in our salvation, but Ms Valerie Lewis Mosley categorized the role of women from the Old Testament to the women at Jesus' tomb and ended with the role of such women as Dorothy Day, Founder of The Catholic Worker in New York; Mother Teresa, Helper of the Abandoned; and Oprah, Founder of A School for Girls in South Africa.

Ms Mosley used our theme WOMEN: THE ROOTS OF LIFE to illustrate God's Love for all humanity; the rich, poor, talented and ignorant. She left a challenge to the Women of St. Elizabeth to continue to be the Roots of Life each day wherever you are as you answer God's call.
