OMG. The NY Annual Conference AME Women in Ministry had our very first BBQ meeting yesterday afternoon and it  was wonderful. We were blessed to have our adopted son Bro. Carl (biological son of Rev. Dr. Linda Hill) adopted member, Bro. Randy Bailey (husband if Rev. Alicia Baileyp) and for our very own Associate member, the Rev. Henry Belin. We were also blessed by the presence of our Connectional President, the Rev. Kimberly Detherage, Esq.
 
Thank you to all who attended, worked the grill, contributed and for just being in the place. We had a wonderful time. The children I believed enjoyed themselves probably more as they made new friends and played together without incidents.
 
To the Women of the NY Conference AME WIM, thank you so much. You guys are the best. You guys showed up contributed, offered to help as you arrived up until the time you guys left. It was wonderful. 
 
My prayer is that as we continue to meet, and  in  more casual settings, that we will begin to know each other better and not just by face. That has always been my desire that we will know each other so that when we meet up at the various meetings/conferences, we are not offering a "fake" smile, but smiling and speaking with each other, because we know each other.
 
Thank you for sharing of yourselves and for some of you for letting your desires be known regarding various things. We will keep each other in prayer as we all continue on this journey.
 
If you have not already registered for the WIM Quadrennial in SC next month, it is not too late. Registration has been extended until August 1st. Please try your best to be there. Also, please do fill out your FDR forms for the 2016 General Conference.  It is important that we fill out this form as our assistance is needed in all areas, and as women that we begin to take our position. As the theme for the Quadrennial "Take thou Authority" let's begin to do so.
 
Be Blessed and enjoy your summer as we will not be meeting for the month of August, but you will receive information from us during that time.
