Christian Women… …Fearfully and wonderfully made… and standing strong in the Lord

Four days of personal growth transpired at 3600 California Avenue, home of the Greater Allen AME Church. From Aug. 21-24, “Christian Women Standing Strong in the Lord” shared a firm foundation that focused on the empowerment, healing, and rebuilding of women standing at the forefront of the promises of God.
Reverend Dr. Judith C. Moore, Pastor of the church for the past 11 months, said that “as Black women, we are caretakers…multi-taskers.” The sincere, down-to earth Moore carries in her heart the desire to help others “to be well and heal financially, emotionally and spiritually,” emphasizing that “as caretakers, it is okay to take time out for yourself.”
Co-chairwomen Dorothy Stubbs and Joyce Booker turned Moore’s thirst for healing into a four-day experience in which the emphasis would concentrate on one’s own introspection, thereby initiating inner growth. Passionate and determined, these co-chairs created an atmosphere of excitement as they brought significant and valid issues to the table.  In so doing, a circle of Christian women came together, believing that prayer is the tool to restoring lives, homes and communities.  Stubbs stated enthusiastically that “The goal of the conference is that women will be better than when they came in.”
