Upcoming Events!
Presbyterian Women Winter Gathering
Full Circle Meeting
Sometimes our faith journeys take us out of our comfort zone and beyond our wildest dreams.
When: Wednesday, February 1, 2012, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Haverkamp Room
Speaker: Reverend Lucy Der Garabedian, Major and Chaplain for the U.S. Army
Mark your calendar! Come find inspiration and unity in a beautiful story of faith, courage, conviction and witness to God’s amazing faithfulness. Lucy will be speaking to us about her life. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Lucy reluctantly but faithfully followed God’s path for her, to escape civil war and maximize her mission potential as a woman in service to God. She found courage and opportunity to fulfill her dream of becoming a Presbyterian minister, despite the odds against her. Empowered with four languages, and incredible faith journey, and an international advanced education, this unique woman now ministers to war-wounded soldiers of the Warrior Transition Brigade for Ft. Belvoir. We pray that her message will increase our understanding of how each of us is a chosen disciple in Christ’s “Full Circle Mission.”
