💙 Thank You for Supporting Legacy in Love💙

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Singleton–Johnson Area, Gaines–Manning–Williams Area, and Jones–Farnell Area for truly showing out in support of our Senior Care & Compassion Project!

Because of the generosity of every church, missionary, supporter, and donor, we had an amazing turnout and were able to package a significant number of care bags for senior citizens in need. From entertainment items, toiletries, and much more, every contribution was given with love and made a meaningful impact.

Our Emerging Leaders are especially grateful for everyone who thought it not robbery to support this cause and help us serve with compassion and purpose. Thank you for helping us leave a true Legacy in Love!

The Catherine Dawson Women’s Missionary Society wore RED in support of Heart Health! ❤️

As women of faith and service, we understand the importance of caring for the temple God has given us. Raising awareness, encouraging prevention, and standing in solidarity for heart health is another way we serve our community.

Healthy hearts. Strong women. Purpose-driven lives. ❤️

Our Holiday Fellowship was filled with laughter, love, and lasting memories! 🎄✨

This gathering reminded us that fellowship strengthens the bond of sisterhood. It was a beautiful time of celebration, reflection, and gratitude for all God has done through our society.

Moments like these remind us that ministry is not only about the work — it’s about the relationships.

The Catherine Dawson Women’s Missionary Society was honored to attend the Singleton Johnson Area Meeting!

There is something powerful about gathering with women who are committed to mission, ministry, and meaningful service. We were inspired, equipped, and reminded that when we come together in unity, the work of the Kingdom advances with strength and purpose.

Grateful for fellowship, leadership, and the opportunity to represent with excellence.

East Conference Women’s Missionary Society Annual Day Recap! 💙🤍

What a blessed and beautiful day of sisterhood, service, and praise!

We began with our Business Session, where two members of the Catherine Dawson Women’s Missionary Society were elected to serve as officers — congratulations to Lisa Gadson, President, and Timiah Sinclair, Member-at-Large!

Following that, we enjoyed a wonderful WMS Luncheon, celebrating the outstanding service of those completing their terms as officers.

The day concluded with our powerful Night in White Service, where three new Catherine Dawson Missionaries were pinned — Barbara Perkins, Tara Robertson, and Miranda Leslie. Thank You Ladies for your willingness to serve!

Truly a day to remember — to God be the glory for all the great things He has done!
