Celebrate the Gifts of Women

On Celebrate the Gifts of Women Sunday, February 27, 2011, we celebrate the beautiful women in the household of God who regularly do beautiful things in love and faithfulness to Jesus Christ. There are women in scripture and women in our congregations who regularly do beautiful things and are remarkable saints in the faith.

The Celebrate the Gifts of Women resource, written by Rhashell Hunter, includes the following:

  • A worship service with a call to worship, prayer of confession, assurance of pardon, suggested hymns, suggested scripture readings and a litany celebrating the gifts of women.
  • Sermon starters and program suggestions.
  • Recommended resources for further study.

You are invited to a grand celebration on March 8, 2011, the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day.

The event is co-sponsored by The Granny Connection and Zonta International, two organizations helping women worldwide.  The evening will begin at 6 pm with a brief lighted walk of solidarity beginning and ending at YES Cinema. At 6:45 P.M. participants will enjoy a delicious international box supper by Pieper’s Catering while being entertained by an improvisational vocal and musical group from Indianapolis – Thin Air.  We will acknowledge our legacies in special ways.  The current and previous Women of the Year will be introduced and honored.  The highlight of the evening will be  keynote speaker, the Honorable Viola Taliaferro, first African American female judge in Southern Indiana.  Judge Taliaferro holds numerous state and national awards for her work in law and especially with families and juvenile justice.  She presents her message with power and poignancy.
