Faithfulness on Display – FGF Highlights, Jackson, MS

It was so good to be back in Jackson, Mississippi last week for Fresh Grounded Faith! We were there in 2014 at Broadmoor Baptist Church, and now—nine years later—we got to be at the same host church working alongside many of the same incredible people!

Melinda Hendrix once again served as our wonderful Local Conference Coordinator, and—to no one’s surprise—led this event and her people in such a beautiful way. She is a model of faithfulness, serving the women in her church and community for so many years.

In fact, faithfulness was what I noticed most about FGF Jackson. Here’s what I mean…

Georgia on My Mind – FGF Highlights, Cumming, GA

Who sang that great old song, “Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind”? When I got home from Fresh Grounded Faith Cumming, that song came to mind as I kept reminiscing about the weekend.

That’s because there were many sweet songs and echoes of sweet moments at First Redeemer Church that keep Georgia on my mind.

Houston, We Had a Problem! – FGF Highlights, Houston, TX

Of course I had to refer to that most famous movie quote associated with the great city of Houston! Because, sister, we did have a problem. One big dark problem!

It was fun being with so many friends who have faithfully served during FGF over the years. And that includes our ministry team who got to be there too. I’m so grateful for these women who make all things Jennifer Rothschild Ministries work.

The theme this year was “Grace, Grace, Grace,” and that theme rang out long before the conference even began. When I arrived for the volunteer meet and greet, I could hear the volunteers collectively singing…

Living With Fresh Grounded Faith – FGF Highlights, Melbourne, FL

It was such a great weekend at Fresh Grounded Faith Melbourne. For this Florida girl, it was especially fun being with all my Florida friends. Even my high school English teacher was there! And since we were in Phil’s hometown, it was a treat to see a lot of his high school friends too.

There are so many things I could say about this weekend, but two attendees said it best in a Facebook post that was shared with my team.

After giving them a proper Texas “howdy,” I felt enveloped in love by those Texas women. Each of the 100 volunteers stepped up and showed off the goodness of God as they served with such joy.
