LGCC's busy busy Women, dedicating their lives to Christ and choosing the best part as Mary did: 

Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:38-42).

Sistah's Women Ministry had a spirit-filled time understanding how we as women of Christ by God's grace stand in victory and wear multiple hats for God's glory and honor.

My Martha Side
My house is a tyrant, demanding each hour. Imperiously ordering: "Sweep, mop and scour! Do the dishes, the laundry, then iron, dust and cook! And there's mending to do if you'll just take a look. Now, Martha, get busy and don't waste a minute: dirt is a sin, and you're wallowing in it!"

My Mary Side
My housework can wait...There's a friend I must see, who's lonely and frightened, she's looking for me. Then I'll tidy up quickly and hurry to hear that fine missionary we support every year. Home again, "Father, than You, please help me to care for the hungary and homeless who live in despair."

Mary-Martha-Me .
Martha nags me to keep my house spotless each day; and Mary says gently, "I need time to pray."Martha's concerned with "what neighbors might think if they dropped in and found dishes stacked in the sink." While Mary chides, "Selfish! I think it's a crime if you don't share with others your talents and time."

My Prayer
Oh God, in compassion, so order my days that Mary might serve Thee and Martha may praise Thee.
