Women of Worth Weekend Strengthens Faith

 ODESSA, TEX. – The Odessa Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted a spiritually enriching weekend designed to uplift, educate and connect women. 

The weekend began with a presentation that explored the history of women in ministry. Teresa Flores, Texico Conference Women’s Ministries director, reminded attendees that women have been vital in spreading the Gospel since biblical times. The session laid a foundation for the rest of the weekend, highlighting that women’s ministries is not just a program but a purpose-driven movement.

On Sabbath, the message reminded attendees that every woman is fearfully and wonderfully made, encouraging them to release hurts and insecurities in order to embrace God’s purpose. 

An interactive Bible journaling workshop provided a creative and meaningful way to engage with Scripture. Through journaling, participants discovered how to personalize their study with reflections, prayers and key insights, while using artistic expression to deepen spiritual understanding. 

The weekend culminated with a charcuterie board supper. The relaxed atmosphere allowed attendees to reflect on the lessons of the weekend, strengthen bonds of sisterhood and enjoy good food and fellowship. 

The women’s ministries weekend was a memorable experience, equipping each sister with biblical knowledge, renewed confidence and a stronger sense of purpose.
