MOUNT AYR, Iowa — Women of all ages and religious denominations gathered to participate in the Spring Seminar “For His Glory” on Saturday at Wishard Chapel Community Church in Mount Ayr which hosted the 135 women.
Faith Taylor, Director and Adjunct Professor of Women’s Ministries at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, presented a series of three topics titled “A Glory-Giver or a Glory Grabber?”, “The Public Display of His Glory,” followed by “Becoming a Glory-Giver.”
Taylor’s yearning to become a public speaker began at an early age after she attended a Christian Seminar and she expressed that to those gathered last Saturday.
“I would love to do that one day,” she recalled. “The honor she felt to be an oracle of God, and the responsibility to represent God’s word.”
Taylor did not disappoint the group of women gathered to hear her speak Saturday morning. Taylor’s passion of God’s word, and “How to study the Bible effectively” was apparent throughout each session. Full of energy, animation and a love of “teaching through various genre of word, emotion and poetry” found throughout the Bible she held the attention of the group throughout the seminar.
Ellen Moore of Huxley shared her musical talent throughout each session inspiring all to be one, as a choir of joyous jubilation honoring the “Wonderful, Merciful Savior” in everyone’s life.
Sandy Armstrong, wife of Bill Armstrong the Pastor of Wishard Chapel Community Church, acted as host of the event, she created a welcoming environment for all to attend. Her committee’s attention to detail was flawless.
“That the seminar may become a regular Spring occurrence,” Armstrong said with an eye on the future.
The men of Wishard Chapel Church, manned the kitchen serving the women at a morning coffee break, and then at lunch. “Job well done guys!”
A “Final Word” of thanks for all who attended the event from Wishard Chapel Church.
“Your love of Jesus and heart for the Lord God Almighty is evident by your taking time from your busy schedules to draw nearer to God through His Word and worship to Him,” attendee Priscilla Alvik said. “Amen I say” along with gratitude for an event well planned out.”
