Ladies Ministries

Greetings. Let me introduce you to Sis. Gwyn Oakes, Ladies Ministries United Pentecostal Church, president. Sis. Oakes came to snowy, icy, rainy, gray, cold Vermont to speak at several functions. We were definitely blessed with her wisdom and inspiration, her poise, her love for Jesus and her humor! Laughter doeth the heart good, says the scriptures. And how true it is! Sis. Oakes message to the Mothers Memorial Kick Off rally- leaving a legacy- left a lasting impression on our hearts and a determination to be more diligent in getting on with God's business and setting goals. The day outside was treacherous, wind and rain and ice and fog. Inside the warmth of ladies gathered to praise the Lord, hear a message from an anointed woman of God, share a wonderful pot luck, shop...ahhhh yes, via a silent auction of treasures each participating church brought to the event. It was a full and fun day. At the closing, the temps had warmed enough so all that the sky offered in precipitation was rain. Lots of rain. Everyone made it home safe and sound. Praise the Lord! Sunday afternoon, at our church in Jericho was the Vermont State Churches Rally. Sis. Oakes spoke at that meeting as well. She had given the Sunday School lesson in church in St. Johnsbury Sunday morning, then drove to Jericho for the afternoon rally service. It was another wonderful time of praise and worship and hearing the Word of the Lord. Sis. Oakes blessed Vermont and New Hampshire in many ways on Saturday and Sunday. Her humorous stories remind us not to get too serious or overwhelmed with the things of life and her anointed messages encouraging us to do what we are here for, the work of the Kingdom of God in these endtimes. Sis. Oakes wrote a book. I bought two. One as a gift and one for me to read, then share. I am at Chapter 4 and have already been blessed immensely. Grace and peace to you. Love Grammie Betimes
