Eastern Region 2020 Report
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” (II Cor. 12:9)
November 1,2 and 3 of 2019 found our Eastern Region Women at Tuscarora Inn and Conference Center for our Fall Retreat. Amy Carroll, of Proverbs 31 Ministries, encouraged us through God’s Word, around the theme of, “Breaking Up With Perfect”. Finding our identity - in Jesus Christ. He alone is perfect - He is our perfection. The annual Silent Auction was once again a highlight- a joyous event where women love to bring items to sell… and then love to buy items- all for the joy of raising funds for Christmas Gifts for our missionaries. Wonderful worship time(s); prayer gatherings; morning exercises and afternoon electives all contributed to a delightful and encouraging weekend. This fall, we look forward to hearing from God’s Word, considering the topic of “Resting in God, in a Restless World” with speaker, Rebecca Meidinger from Fargo ND. What an appropriate topic for these unsettled times! Please pray with us for this retreat- that it won’t be unduly hindered or complicated by the Coronavirus issues that must necessarily be considered. Pray for Rebecca as she prepares to speak, for Rachel Roy who will be our worship leader, and our Leadership Team as we plan/prepare.
The Eastern Region Pastor’s Wives were disappointed that our weekend retreat (sponsored by ERWM) this year had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus. In lieu of this, some of the faithful women from Faith LBC, Briarcliff Manor, NY, put together wonderful gift boxes and sent one to each of the pastors wives. These were a wonderful surprise - delightful and encouraging.
In closing, I would like to give a big shout out to Cheri Anderson, for her amazing work as she shared the President “slot” with me for the past 2 years. Such a gifted and generous woman! I miss working with her. Additionally, I would like to thank Lindsay Natale for the wonderful job she has done as Treasurer (and much more) for the past 4 years, to Alice Irizzary, for her love for this ministry evidenced by her service as Secretary for the past 4 years, and now completing the VP term left open when Cathy Barlow moved to MN. I would also extend a big welcome to Shelley Antuna, who has taken on the Secretary position for a 2 year term and proving to be a wonderful addition to our leadership team. We are blessed.
Continuing in His service,
Cindy Geraghty
