"Women Sharing and Fulfilling Titus 2:3-5" was the theme for the first UCG Charlotte, North Carolina, ladies' tea Aug. 26.
The theme was taken from the General Conference of Elders 2006 women's sessions.
The tables were beautifully decorated, covered with lace tablecloths, trimmed with fresh ivy, and adorned with creative pink and white balloon topiaries and flower centerpieces. Several of the ladies contributed their beautiful china sets. Each of the ladies was presented with a gorgeous handmade corsage, giving the final touch.
The approximately 40 ladies in attendance were treated to a magnificent array of dainty finger sandwiches, tea cookies and cakes. Several of the young adults took on the responsibility of serving, exemplifying the theme of the tea. They followed the examples of the older women and set the example for the younger girls.
Audio presentations were played from two of the women's sessions at the GCE 2006. During Dyanne Dick's presentation, "I'll Love You Forever," more than a few ladies grew misty-eyed as we heard Mrs. Dick speak of an enduring love between a parent and a child.
Equally as interesting and thought-provoking was Jane Suckling's "How We Process Our Emotions," pointing out that the part of our brain that controls our wide range of emotions is only about the size of an almond!
After the presentations, the ladies enjoyed fellowship and discussion of the meaning of Titus 2:3-5.
