Echo of Joy

Teatime at Vang

Thursday, March 31, 2011

Last weekend I got to participate in a ladies' tea at Vang. Actually, I participated by being the featured speaker. It was a surprise for the attendees, which really put the pressure on me! I hope they weren't expecting someone more glamorous and exciting! But they welcomed me graciously, as always.





I spoke about some of the strong women of the Bible, and especially the important witness of the women at the empty tomb. I was inspired by this thoughtful blog post by Rev. Erma Wolf on Living Lutheran. And I thanked these ladies for their faithful witness and service to the church and the world, continuing the tradition of their forebears in the faith.

We enjoyed tea and treats, along with piano music by Vang's very talented organist. And, of course, great conversation. It was a lovely event.
