"Love that transforms" is the title of the program that, on June 17, 2023, took place on the Women’s Ministries Emphasis Day at the Seville Adventist Church. It was a very special Sabbath, full of unique moments.
The Children's Moment contained a story with a message of Jesus' great love for us. Antonella Carrasquel motivated the children to fully trust in God no matter how difficult the situation may be.
The theme song was entitled "Love in Action", and its message is that if we say we love God why should we find it hard to love others? Next, we glorified God's name with praise to God for his presence in all our circumstances.
The theme of the day was "A love that transforms" and the sermon was presented by Erika Valverde. It was a wonderful theme, which led us to reflect on whether we really live the love of Jesus in our lives. How easy it is to love the ones who love us, but it is not easy to love the ones who hurt us. We need the Holy Spirit every day, He is the one who convicts us of sin and admonishes us to do good. The Lord can give us a love that transforms if we ask Him for it.
Afternoon program: Women of the Bible and me
In the afternoon we continued with the project "The Women of the Bible and Me" and "Menopause, Part 2".
"The Women of the Bible and I" was presented by Rosario Quispe. We have much to learn from the women mentioned in the Bible: women who traveled a similar path to the one we live today, with trials, difficulties, and victories, thanks to their total dependence on God.
Dr. Genesis Olivar spoke on the topic "Menopause, part 2". We extended the invitation to the men because we consider that it is important that they also know this important stage that we go through as women and thus foster good communication, understanding, and relationship as a family. It is wonderful to see how God created us so perfect and unique.
Going through each stage as women, from Dr. Genesis Olivar, we learned how our organism works. We also received some tips on nutrition; physical exercise; self-esteem and personal acceptance. The Lord was wise to let us know the eight healthy habits, it is up to us to follow his advice.
We ended the workshop by giving each lady the study guide: "The Women of the Bible and Me", with its respective card, as a commemoration of the emphasis day in the Adventist Women's Ministry 2023.
We thank God for allowing us to serve Him through this ministry, motivating other women to His service, making the love of Jesus known through our testimony, and by being a blessing to anyone who needs it.
