Movie Presentation - "God's Compass"

Movie Presentation by Sisters of Group 3, with welcome by Sis Wendy George and Closing by Sis Marjorie Strachan. GOD’S COMPASS demonstrates, the Lord’s universal Truth, that no matter what we face in life there is a greater force, a greater wisdom that guides us when we follow God’s Plan for our life, our “True NORTH.”

After 3 years the Water’s family is still struggling with the loss of a devoted husband, ISAAC, for SUZANNE and a loving father to DAVID.

Healing comes to both through a miraculous encounter with a 16-year-old, ELI. A juvenile delinquent, Eli has been running from foster care and the law in order to stay together with his sister, NAOMI. Eli steals cars to make ends meet.

The Waters and Eli’s lives first intersect when JESSICA, David's wife and soon to be mother, is driving home from Suzanne Waters’ retirement party. Jessica suddenly pulls over in an abandoned side of town because she is having severe, premature contractions. Eli sees the BMW and decides to steal it, but when he breaks in, he discovers, Jessica. Faced with a decision, he chooses to risk his arrest by taking her to the hospital, saving her life and the baby’s.

At the hospital an officer recognizes Eli and arrests him, starting the journey that crashes his life into the Waters’ family.

Suzanne must trust God’s “Calling” and risk the security of her retirement. David faces a choice between family and advancing his career. Jessica needs to hold the grace that can only come from trusting God’s Will for her new born baby and Eli must stop running and accept that he deserves to be loved.

By following God’s direction Suzanne realizes there is no retiring in God’s Kingdom. She champions a path to help Eli, which will uncover the miraculous blessing Isaac Waters never revealed before his passing. A strong bond forms between David and Eli, both having lost their fathers, which illuminates Isaac’s blessing, bring healing to the family and hope to Eli and Naomi.

The truth revealed brings the reassurance that our God has a plan for everyone’s life, our TRUE NORTH.  Watch Trailer - https://offers.pureflix.com/gods-compass-trailer

The Sisters Group 2 convened a "Sisters' Learn to Cook" Session on Saturday 25th February, 2017 - and on the menu - learn to make Conkies. Sis Janet Whint, was the Sister Chef, and all sisters present, were requested to join in some aspect of the preparation - from cutting bluggoe leaves in the garden and heating them at the stove, mixing the ingredients, placing the batter in the leaves, as well as tying the finished product and placing in the pot for steaming. The youngest member of the team was Myesha Mitchell, who also tried her hand at the task. On the spur of the moment, using the leftover coconut mash, sisters Judith Sylvester and Wendy George, spear-headed a quick bake of coconut drops, consumed later with gospo juice gleaned from a tree in the garden. The afternoon did achieve its aim, to fellowship in cooking, learning, sharing and basking in the glory of the Lord.
