Worry

If you struggle with worry here is wise advice to remember.
My Mother-in-Law always struggled with worry so my Father-in-Law bought this to hang on their wall to remind her, "all is well" especially when you place your worry in the Father's care.
(The House of Art, N.Y. No 236)
Nancy Gunther

Matthew 6:25-34

October Vital Connections

Our October Vital connections was a fun and inspiring morning for Marketplace Women of Orange County as members and guests tackled the subject of their increasingly overwhelming calendars.

Distinguished Speakers Luncheon

 "God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is his business."
                                       Proverbs 16:11 (MSG)

It was a full house at Marketplace Women of OC’s September 1st Distinguished Speaker Luncheon which featured Twanna Henderson, Executive Pastor and former Judge. After a delicious lunch and engaging table talk, Twanna shared her inspirational story of wearing her “faith” hat in a non-faith industry and knowing that her “business” decisions had the power to point someone to Jesus or away from Him. Members and guests enjoyed a time of networking, sharing and comradely as each was encouraged to intentionally integrate their professional, personal and spiritual lives for an audience of “One!” Big thanks to Paula Meyer of Paula E. Meyer & Associates for sponsoring the event!
