White and purple were the chosen colors to beautify the ladies who attended the Women’s Weekend 2016, held Sept. 9-11 at Pentecostal Temple COGIC, in East Liberty.
The annual event led by First Lady Barbara J. Mann has established a following throughout the church world that includes visitors from surrounding states who look forward to the array of special attractions that include extraordinary speakers, psalmists, captivating seminars and an all women’s choir who stirs up the praises to God.
“Pac-Your-Pew-For-Prayer,” petitioning God’s intervention and healing for the family was the focus of Friday’s worship service. After greeting the women, Mann shared how families are under satanic attack that is manifested through sicknesses, depression, financial oppression and violence as indicated in the inappropriate behavior displayed in our society. She further emphasized that prayer is pertinent to enable families to be “empowered to conceive” God’s will in our homes. The prayer was concluded by a powerful sermon preached by Pittsburgh evangelist Marlene Ford.
The featured seminar presenter on that Saturday was Minister Corey Lankford, actor, writer and director for Cornerstone Television and Oasis (Ministries) Theater Company. He is also a family coordinator specialist for Touching Families, Inc. His unique style of instruction on the topic “Virgin Heart: The Pursuit of True Intimacy” included stimulating, provoking biblical perspectives and awareness of unhealthy erotic addictions.
Those that gathered enjoyed the continental breakfast and lunch provided. The delightful afternoon transcended to Saturday evening and Sunday’s guest speaker, Dr. Yvonne Capehart, of Pensacola, Fla., the founder of Sister Keeper International Ministries Crusade, a network of women in ministry; author of seven books; recording artist and co-pastor at Believers Life Center. Her concluding sermon entitled, “The Helper,” taken from the 2nd chapter of Genesis, provided a refreshing revelation of God’s purpose in His creation of women.
