“Christian Women standing Strong in Uncertain Times,” was
the theme of this year’s Women’s Day at St. Paul Missionary
Baptist Church. The annual celebration continued in the
midst of a global pandemic on Sunday, September 20.
The congregation practiced social distancing, enforced masks
and welcomed everyone with a sanitization station. The
traditional color of white for all women in attendance was
accented with various rainbow colors including: blue, red,
orange, and pink as each woman displayed a handcrafted white
mask.
“This is our first virtual women’s day and a real point of
praise. The coronavirus is real. Once we go on our knees,
God will heal our land,” shared Sister Deborah Gardener.
This years’ service included Sister Deborah Gardner, who led
the morning devotion and sang the Lord’s Prayer; Sister Mary
Reed, who delivered the call to worship and invocation;
Sister Sharon Hubbard, who led the litany. Scripture was
recited by Sister Dawn Scotland; Sister Daisy Fisher led
offertory prayer; Sister Opal Dunlap led a candle memorial
service and Sister Vontyna Smith was the guest speaker.
