FRANKFORD (WVDN) – The Ladies of the Henning Church of God met on Tuesday, Feb. 14, in the church fellowship hall for their regular monthly meeting. President Carole Spencer presided, and Angie Scott led in prayer.
Dyan Hefner presented the devotion, “Tent of Faith in the Storm.” There was a dad who loved everything about camping and camping materials. He purchased a very large tent that had cast arm poles as large a someone’s arm; no zippered doors and no wind, rain or hail could get in. The large family went camping and a storm came up. Everyone ran into this tent so they would be safe and dry. We each go through storms of life. Some are emotional and some are physical. We need to run to a sturdy tent and celebrate God in our storms.
In John 6:16-19 and Mark 6:48, there was a storm in the middle of a lake. The disciples were in a small boat trying to get to the other side of the lake. They thought all was lost and saw Jesus walking on the water. They thought He was a ghost. He came when the storm was still happening and got in the boat, and the storm calmed, and they made it to the other side. Sometimes life is just too hard or scary. One instance we all go through is getting older, and the majority of people don’t enjoy it. Jesus comes during the storm; remember He is peace and will take care of you during the storm. He will help you.
Jamie Harvey gave the treasurer’s report, and Pauline Perkins read last month’s minutes.
Next month, the group will collect cleaning and household items for the Greenbrier Valley Children’s Home Society located in Rainelle. This shelter was established in 2016 and provides shelter for 14 children, ages 7-18. The group will be serving the Maxwelton Ruritans on Feb. 23.
The group decided to keep the same officers and there will be no election in March. The group also voted to make a donation to the Church of God in Lebanon to be used for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.
The next meeting will be on March 14; and Hefner dismissed in prayer.
Attending were Alice Coff, Angie Scott, Carole Spencer, Christine Cullen, Cindy Fleshman, Donna Scott, Dyan Hefner, Jamie Harvey, Joan Vance, Marty Burns, Pauline Perkins, Patty Owens, Peggy Seldomridge and Sue Hunt.
