From Proverbs 31:10- 31, Mrs. Maharaj said there are women in this world, and there arc virtuous women. Characteristics of a virtuous woman are standing up for righ- teousness, pure in heart, creative, industrious, knows how to pray, exercise the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and lives a disciplined life. She is a faithful wife, and a contented per- son, committed to the Lord. To be- come a virtuous woman, a lady must be obedient to God's word.

While the .He- brew people were travelling through the deserts of Arahia, (mil's pre-. ence overshadowed them by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. The cloud and fire moved when God wanted them to travel. When God told leader Moses His presence would go with them, God's presence was protection for them. David prayed in Psalm 23 about God's presence with him. 11 Chronicles records Jehoslraphat`s prayer for God's presence to deliver them. Psalm 140: 13 assures that the upright, shall live in God's presence. When Jesus Christ died on the cross, than rose from the dead, He went to Heaven, presenting to God His finished redemption for all who will come to God. Christians can enjoy the protection of God's pres- ence. Communion was served aftcr the service. Matthew Heffcrman, accompa- nied by trio of Mrs. Heather Hol- land, Miss Laurcn Harrison, and Mr. Verlc Bends, led the singing Sunday evening. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Lamentations 3:22-40, stress- ing we need to examine ourselves before the Lord. As Psalm 139:23- 24 says, search our hearts to see if there is any wicked way in us. Opinions concerning ourselves come from the world, loved ones, ourselves, and most honest, how God secs us. When God shows us we are wrong, confess, repent, then turn hack to God.
