Thank you for your words. Because of them I became aware of this thread. Otherwise I would not have known of its existence since I started reading the Scroll after 2006. Because of you I am now aware of pastor George. You sound both blessed and appreciative. And you have blessed me. Wow, Shondra.

I currently live in Shawano with my husband and two wonderful daughters. But I am not from this area. I am from New Holstein, WI where Pastor Dorcas George is the current pastor. Just like Pastor George, I grew up with a father who required his children to always go to church, it was never a choice to stay in bed or do anything else for that matter. The church that I was required to go to is the same church Pastor George is talking about. It's strange the affect a father's love can have on his daughter. Finally, at the age of 40yrs old I have built up enough courage to become a speaker and/or leader in my current church. Where many might believe that a woman's place is in the home and not church leadership, I believe they are missing the big picture. As women who are actively involved in preaching or women's bible study we are doing what is required of us by God. I Titus 2 verses 1-3 explains both men and women's duties to the church. Women are to give good counsel and be teachers of what is right and noble. That may be from a pulpit or it may be in a women's bible study or even a sunday school class. My point is this. Pastor Dorcas George has filled the role as a minister to my home church for several years. She has been a true leader for women, just like myself. The community and public may not understand just how hard she has worked to fullfil God's purpose for the church. I would like to thank her for the time and effort she has put into following God's plan for Jubilee Assembly of God. For it is because of her faithfulness that the small little church, in a small little town, is still in operation today. Bigger is not better, and this little church has made me the woman of God that I am today. My faith started there and someday I hope it will end there when I am able to meet with my Savior for eternity. Respectfully in his name, Shondra My name is Shondra Ruen.
