Ladies of LAM

The Ladies of LAM is a wonderful ministry for women and young ladies (married and single) ages 18 and older. Directed by First Lady Gwendolyn Cast, the ministry focuses on meeting the needs of women both spiritually and naturally.

First Lady Cast and her team know what it’s like to deal with the stress and pressures of everyday life. They relate to the needs women have spiritually, relationally, financially, physically and emotionally. Their goal is to provide a well-rounded ministry that reaches every woman in every walk of life. They do this by coordinating edifying, fun-filled activities such as, Ladies Night Out, teas and an annual women’s retreat. The ladies of LAM are also responsible for the coordination of married couples and singles outings.

Objectives

Part of LAM’s vision is to focus on the spiritual growth and development of our church and community. The activities that the Ladies of LAM sponsor, bring women in our ministry and invited guest together to:

• Address issues that are unique to women and provide a biblical perspective
• Foster the (intentional) development of relationships between women in the ministry
• Provide an outlet for women from day-to-day responsibilities
• Mentor, encourage, support and share

OUR 2010 THEME:

Fear ends where faith begins…a journey from fear to faith!

At some point in our lives, we have all struggled with fear, anxiety or depression. Maybe you are a new mom or a new wife; you now have an empty nest or are facing divorce; perhaps you just lost one of your parents, a spouse or a child; starting a new job or retiring; are faced with health or financial issues that rock your world! For some, the challenges are temporary; while for others it has become a way of life.

This year the Ladies of LAM are taking a Journey! Sister to Sister! We are going to join our hearts, our lives……. one sister at a time. Befriend, belong, believe, and become. Joshua 1:9 says, “Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed for the Lord God is with thee whithersoever thou goest”.

Our year will be filled with opportunities to have open and safe dialogue. We’re going to share our own personal experiences because it may help one of our sisters and begin to build relationships. We’ll introduce healthy ways to deal with anxiety and depression (prayer diet, and exercise). This year we want you to know that you’re not alone and that we are each other’s support system.

Join with us as the Ladies of LAM take it to a new level! We're going to journey through low self esteem, depression, and the insecurities that many women suffer with. …………. Let’s take the Journey together!
