Mrs. Sunshine Report - Volume 1 - January 2011



Ladies, As we begin a new year in our homes and churches, I thought it would be nice to try to stay more connected through our own little newsletter. If you would like to announce or share something with the other ladies in the fellowship, you can email it toMrsFLSunshine@juno.com. We would like to hear ideas for ladies groups, Bible studies you have used, banquet ideas, mission’s conference themes, etc. Some of you ladies have “been there, done that” and you are a fountain of knowledge. Some are “new” to the ministry and may have questions or new ideas to share. I know with many of us having jobs and/or children at home it is not always convenient to attend the monthly fellowship meetings. I pray you will try to come as often as possible, but also hope this newsletter will draw us closer in spirit.
May God bless you and your ministry in 2011. Pam Jeffers

Meet… Pam Jeffers I was born into a pastor’s home so the ministry was not a foreign concept to me, but I never pictured myself as the “pastor’s wife”. I attended Baptist Bible College (class of ‘79) where I met Dan, a youth major. Why did I not “know” that the youth ministry usually leads to the pastorate?!? God has led us around Florida - from Largo, to Orlando, to Lakeland and now to St. Petersburg. Each ministry has taught us something and we are still learning. God blessed us with 3 children who are saved, active in church and seeking God’s will for their lives. Our two grandchildren, Haleigh (4) and Logan (1) are a joy to have near and spoil.

(We would like to profile a pastor’s wife each month, so send your information & picture)
I Timothy 1:12 “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry”
