        We give many thanks to the women of St. Philip Episcopal Church, 9380 Davies Plantation Road, Memphis, who entertained us Saturday February 11, 2012 with coffee, snacks and beautifully decorated tables with a delicious luncheon. See photos below.

      And we also send special thanks to Sunny Ross and Dorothy Wells.   Sunny Ross,  the Faith Community Relations Coordinator at the Church Health Center,  told us funny and spiritual stories about her path as a Christian Armenian woman from Syria to Memphis. Dorothy Wells, our ECW Chaplain, reminded us of the inspirational story of Absalom Jones. **************************************************************************************

 Every year the Episcopal Church Women of the three Tennessee Dioceses have a Spring Meeting.  We love to get together and share worship and fellowship with women from all over Tennessee.
   The Tri-Diocese Spring Meeting 2009 was held this year in West Tennessee in the beautiful and secluded St. Columba Episcopal Conference Center.

 We enjoyed our special Joint Session with the St. Clare Silent Retreat and a lovely church service at the historic St. Mary's Cathedral in Memphis.   Friday night we had a conversation with Bishop Don Johnson which was very interesting. Our Saturday morning workshops on Altar Guild Arts by Ann McCormick and "Grace in Our Time" by Sue Johnson were lots of fun.    
    
   * Our Keynote Speaker Saturday morning was the Rev. Marty Hedgpeth from North Carolina.  She gave an excellent talk on "Forgotten Women of the Bible: Desperate Housewives, Harlots, and Heroines."  She gave us lots to think about including many biblical women with seemingly minor roles who actually made a great deal of progress towards the work of God.
