Twenty participants from six Oahu churches got together at Nuuanu Baptist Church Gay Williams encouraged us on the topic of lament and grace. She introduced us to a good read titled Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy by Mark Vroegop Praise the Lord! S.H.E. had a sweet time together on the Saturday, November 26th to celebrate the Lord's goodness. Cindy Gaskins led us into an intimate time of praise and worship. Gay Williams shared a touching devotion about lament and grace. We enjoyed knowing each other over a cup of aromatic tea, finger sandwiches, pastries and char siu bao. In small groups, we poured out our hearts to pray for one another. As finale, we presented gifts to our pastor's wife and vowed to remember their dedication in our prayers. Our next get-together will be on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
