A Tribute to Mother

Hello my Sistes in Christ!

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each one of you for your support on our book project. We had over 60 submissions in our Tribute to Mother book and I think that's outstanding! Men, Women and Youth paid written tribute to the mothers in their lives and our book is a testimony to the goodness of God.

On Saturday, March 28, 2009, nearly 100 ladies wearing spring hats and men, gathered in the Fellowship Hall to celebrate the release of our book entitled, "Bethel Memorial A.M.E. Church Women's Ministry Presents, A Tribute to Mother." Musical selections by Jeanette Benyard were spirit-filled and touched us to our core. DJ Craig Carlisle was also on hand with a rich variety of gospel music. Readings from the book were done by Rev. Alyce Smith-Cooper, Rougenia Harrison and Sandrea Jackson. I can't go any further without thanking the food committee led by Konnie Crawford and her crew, Cynthia Jones, Bridgette Jordan, Julia Cooper (also sold lots of tickets for us!!) and Velma Belcher.

The spirit of sisterhood and fellowship was in the air and we had a marvelous time. Please spread the word about our book. All royalties and sales come back to the Women's Ministry 100%! The book is available now on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com. What a great gift idea for Mother's Day!

Also, our monthly newsletter is now available in the Narthex. Pictures of the release are on the back cover. Enjoy!!

Be Blessed,

Cynthia Fields
