Join us for Women’s Weekend at Greater Emmanuel Institutional
Church of God in Christ, hosted by the Women’s Ministry and led by
our Chairperson, First Lady Karen Clark Sheard.
As Colossians 2:6–7 reminds us, “just as you have received Christ Jesus
as Lord, continue to walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him…”
We begin Friday, April 10th at 7 PM with “Becoming Her,” an evening
of real conversation, wisdom, and insight for the woman you are
becoming.
Then on Saturday, April 11 th at 12 PM, we gather for our Prayer
Brunch, “Planted in His Presence,” where we slow down, enjoy good
food, fellowship with one another, and grow in His presence through
prayer. Please see any member of the Women’s Committee to
purchase your ticket for just $30.
And from there, we move into Sunday—“Rooted Before Released,”
our Women’s Day celebration with services at 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM,
along with our 10:00 AM Shop and Sip featuring local vendors.
We’re asking everyone to wear shades of orange all weekend as we
come together in unity and celebration.
The Women’s Weekend assessment is just $125.
Come ready to be rooted, grounded, and released.

Please scan the QR code on the screen. This will direct you to the GEI website where you will find a special video message and text invitation from our Bishop regarding Resurrection Sunday.
Throughout the month of March, we have launched a special campaign to reconnect souls to Christ and welcome people back home.
Once you receive the message, we are asking every member to forward the video and text invitation this week to your friends, family members, coworkers, and loved ones who may not know Christ or who may have drifted away from church.
Remember, resurrection Sunday is April 5th. God is up to something… and the very person you invite might be right in the middle of it.
