By Jennifer Lewis
Special to the Truth
The Bethlehem Baptist Church, 1430 W. Bancroft Toledo, Women
with a Mission (WWM) Ministry’s Retreat was held the weekend
of October 17. The theme for the retreat was, “Order My
Steps,” Psalms 119:133.
Friday and Saturday Night’s activities were held at the
Holiday Inn French Quarter, Perrysburg, Ohio. On Friday
night the sisters enjoyed a sit down dinner, fashion show
(clothing sponsored by Chico’s at the Franklin Park Mall
with make-up provided by Mary Kay Representative Kellie
Watkins and music by D.J. Ann J/Ingrid Lewis) and an
inspirational word from Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor,
Lisa Harris.
The sisters woke up early in the morning for prayer,
meditation and yoga lead by instructor Connie Martin.
After breakfast and Saturday morning’s devotional the
sisters were split into two groups and enjoyed workshops
entitled: “Stepping to an Irregular Beat” facilitated by
Rev. Rosetta Haynes, Pastor, of Mount Hope Church and
“Harmonious Steps” facilitated by Sis. Tracee Perryman of
the Center of Hope Baptist Church |
Jennifer Lewis and First Lady Lydia Arnold - WWM Retreat.

Ethel Scurlock, D.Min, pastor of First United Baptist in
Batesville, MS and Alvis Grove Baptist in Oakland, MS
delivered the Word of God at Saturday’s luncheon and Sunday
morning’s worship service at Bethlehem Baptist Church.
The women of Bethlehem donated new and gently used shoes to
be given to the Sparrows Nest. The WWM ministry gave a
special thanks to all who allowed God to order their steps
by participating in this wonderful weekend: the
facilitators, instructors, speakers, Alvin Jones, Jr. and
BBC music staff, BBC Women’s Day Choir and Ushers, all of
the women of Bethlehem Baptist Church, friends of BBC and
their Pastor Derek Arnold, D.Min.
