Reno and S.I.S.

Last Thursday we left our town about 7:30 p.m. headed toward Reno, Nevada.  We arrived there about 1:00 a.m. and checked into the hotel.  We was there to preach for Tim and Saprina Flowers and their great church, Skyline Pentecostal Church.  We had such a good time with them and their church.  Nathan did some spectacular preaching/ministering on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  The POWER of God was so awesome in each service.  And, to top it all off Bro. and Sis. Flowers youngest daughter, Elizabeth received the precious gift of the Holy Ghost.   She was so beautiful, standing with hands lifted, tears streaming down her face and speaking in a language that can only come from God. Can you believe I forgot my camera on this trip?  I took a few pictures with my phone but I can’t find my attachment to be able to transfer them to the computer.

We left Reno on Sunday afternoon, after the service and arrived home about 9:00 p.m.  I unpacked that suitcase and then packed again and headed out on Monday to Tulare for our S.I.S. (Safety in Sisterhood) Retreat.  This is a ministers wives retreat for those who are in full-time ministry. Sis. LaQuita Mullings and her committee did an awesome job in putting this retreat together. Monday Evening when I walked into the beautiful lobby of Abundant Life Center, it was aglow.  I cannot say enough how incredible the ladies of Abundant Life Center and Sis. Stephanie Parkey (Pastor’s Wife) did in hosting this retreat.  You will see by the photos how beautiful everything was.  On Tuesday they changed the decorations and it was another beautiful day and evening. On Tuesday Night when we were finished with our session and walked out into the lobby they had set in up like a Spa. There were pedicures, chair massages, paraffin wax for your hands…It was so much fun getting relaxed and setting around talking and laughing once again.  God bless this church for all the time and effort they put in to making S.I.S. a great retreat.  Sis. Cindy Miller from New Jersey was our guest speaker and did an incredible job in talking to us about things concerning our lives as minister wives.  I so enjoyed being with friends and again meeting new ones.  We laughed and cried together and laughed some more and ate TONS of Chocolate.   The theme for this year was, “The Rich Things In Life…Friendship and Chocolate”.  Everywhere you looked was Chocolate.  Chocolate fountains graced the food tables, chocolate truffles in little boxes at each place setting and yes, even when we walked into the sanctuary, chocolate tidbits on the pews where we sat.  It was a great thing. LOL  I am already looking forward to next year. God bless all my sisters.
