Central Louisiana Women Gather and Serve

PINEVILLE, LA. – While some women from the Central Louisiana Seventh-day Adventist Church attended the conference-wide women’s ministries retreat held in Shreveport in September 2025, many were unable to come. 

So women’s ministries in the central Louisiana area invited all our women to attend a meeting at a local restaurant to share the information we had learned at the retreat. 

The information included messages about spiritual, mental and physical wellness, and we shared some of the available resources distributed by the retreat. We also discussed the need for more information on awareness for domestic abuse and violence issues and have ordered additional pamphlets on the subject. 

The opportunity to share with one another also gave the women’s ministries group a fun way to reach out to family and friends in the community. We organized a cookie exchange at a member’s home. Each person brought two dozen cookies. We filled decorative holiday boxes, which were labeled with the church’s name and address, with a wide variety of treats for members to then distribute as an outreach activity.
