My personal thanks to the Ladies Society of St. George. Especially Suhair, Sandy, Rawan and Abir for their support and dedication to making the AW Women’s Brunch an enormous success. Working with you was a joy and could not have been more pleasant.
130 women joined in fellowship to hear His Grace Bishop ANTHONY and our Spiritual Advisor, Abouna Paul Baba bring us the Word and spiritual guidance. I am deeply grateful for the women of our Diocese and my fellow board members. You all make my heart sing!
Blessings,
Your Servant in Christ
