The Lord gave the command; a great company of women brought the Good News. Psalm 68:11 [su_spacer] We began 2020 with the Psalm 68:11 declaration during our She Loves Out Loud virtual prayer event. It seems like years ago now! But it was just this year. And we pinned all of our mission on bringing “the…
by Susie Hawkins [su_spacer] On Sunday, November 29, marked the beginning of the 2020 Advent season. Advent is a four-week period of praying, perhaps fasting, reading scripture, and anticipating our Lord’s birth on Christmas Day.

The familiar Christmas carol rings out, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” I truly believe this with all my heart. I love Christmas! I love the décor, the carols, the festivities, the gatherings. I love it all! In ministry, though, Christmas can also be described as “the craziest busy time of the year!”…
