Indiana—"Give Me Jesus" was the theme song for a Sabbath afternoon women's ministries program at the Elkhart Church. Sixty ladies gathered for REST (Rest, Energizing, Spiritual, Time). Following a delicious lunch, Linda Nelson, Michigan Conference church records clerk and mother of Elkhart pastor Loren Nelson III, presented a lively and informative presentation about what women should know about men.
Linda Gallimore, Michigan Conference children's ministries director, spoke about the birth-order connection. The final speaker was Laurie Snyman, M.S.W., A.C.S.W., a family therapist from Lansing, Mich. Snyman shared 50 ways to help decrease stress in our lives. Some of the admonition concerning stress given in Ellen White's writings was given out as handouts at the close of the meeting.
Janine Finkbeiner and Kim Grigsby, Elkhart women's ministries leaders, said the day was truly a blessing for all who attended, and they hope this type of seminar will become a regular event at the Elkhart Church.
