Pretty in Purple

 

OR District Pastoral Counselor Rev. Daniel Faragalli

promised the district board that he would paint his nails purple

if everyone else on the board did. Six months later, he had forgotten his promise, but the women didn't!

Dixie Thamert did the honors for him.

....a word from our President...

WE LOVE BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US!  I John 4:19

 

Praise and thanks to our Reigning Lord for the abundant, overflowing joys and inspirations He showered on us through the years of preparation and during the festal days of the Portland 2009 convention. May He carry forward His plans and the contacts made by using our efforts to bring His redeemed children closer to Himself in all eternity. The 2009 Convention mountain top experience encourages us to now go on being His women in mission as He directs us in His ways back on the plain.

 

Our Lord continues to reign as we of the Oregon District now put into action our hope in the Lord. We claim the promises of our Creator, the everlasting God, which He gives us in our 2010 district convention theme verse, Isaiah 40: 31  “…those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” 

 

Between now and June 2010 at our Oregon District Convention we ask His leadership and guidance to prepare an event which will bring Him glory and through which He will steadfastly draw His children to Him. 

 

The Word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8
