Dear Sisters,
It is with sadness that I am letting you know we are cancelling Comfort and Joy this year due to a significant rise in COVID-19 cases. The MS Dept. of Health has issued an advisory statement recommending that we not hold large social gatherings at this time. While Comfort and Joy is more than just a social gathering, after prayer and discussion with our pastors and the Women's Ministry Leadership Team, we are united in our decision that we need to cancel.
Much thanks goes to all of the women who have baked the delicious treats for our event. They will not go to waste. Tomorrow morning, a small group of women will meet to finish packing the individual food boxes. Boxes will be delivered to different ministries our church supports, as well as to some of the dear saints in our church body who could use encouragement at this time.
So many ladies were working hard behind the scenes. I want to thank Robin Byrd and Sara Bullock for their labor of love as well as the WM Team and the Special Music Team - Emily Ulrich, Joanna McCallister, and Laura Herbison.
What a privilege and joy to serve our dearest Lord Jesus! He is our real, abiding, Comfort and Joy in all seasons and in all of life, this one and the next! To Him be the glory!
With much love and thankfulness,
Tammie Haynes, Women's Ministry Director
