Cornerstone holds Ladies Celebration Day
Leighann McCoy, author of a 10-week study book entitled “Oh God Please, The Heart of a Burdened Soul,” was guest speaker for the Ladies Celebration Day at Cornerstone Baptist Church.
For 15 years, the presenter and her husband, Tom McCoy, pastor of Thompson Station Baptist Church, have partnered in that ministry where they have seen a growth in the congregation from eight to over 1,300 in regular attendance. Mrs. McCoy, who holds a master’s degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, has served the Tennessee Baptist Convention as adult specialist relating to women’s ministries, the Woman’s Missionary Union and Lifeway Publishers. She is currently preparing another book, “Women Touched by Jesus,” a seven-week study that includes personal devotions and fictional stories about women that Jesus could have encountered while involved in His earthly ministry.
The Women’s Ministry Core Team at Cornerstone coordinated the recent Ladies Celebration Day. Aim of the Core Team is to help unify the women of the church, show places of service available to them and help them build friendships with other believers. The Core Team was started with a survey distributed to the ladies requesting input as to the type of ministries they would be interested in, either to lead or just participate.
At various display booths, leaders of 17 different ministries shared information regarding their particular area of service, along with commitment sheets for those interested in participating. Among the topics were: Moms in Touch, Baptist Women’s monthly community projects; Bible study and children’s activities for the Project Ministry; weekly Jail Ministry that includes Bible study with women inmates; Food Bank; Prayer Group; Health and Wellness; and a monthly Newsletter for Women.
The attendees garnered lots of information and enjoyed a day of fellowship with light refreshments being served.
