Turning the World Upside Down (Acts 17: 1-9)
Women's Division Leadership Traning Event Closing Worship Sermon
One of the greatest joys of my life has been encountering strong
women of faith, such as all of you gathered here, who play key
roles in leading the church. United Methodist Women hold a
special place in my heart for this reason, but this morning I want
to tell you about a woman with whom I worked from another
denomination -- a Canadian, Lois Wilson. One of her books,
Miriam, Mary and Me, is on our Reading Program List.

entitling today’s speech, “Burning Bush Moments: Are we
