Yesterday (Saturday, April 27) we had a special luncheon for women who are 50 and over. We call this group the Jubilee Ladies, which we take from Leviticus 25, where God directs Moses to declare every 50th year to a year when all debts are forgiven, slaves are set free, property is returned to original owners, the land was to set idle, with no planting.
"This fiftieth year is sacred—it is a time of freedom and of celebration when everyone will receive back their original property, and slaves will return home to their families. "
Saturday, Belinda Koestle invited this group of ladies to her home for lunch. It was a wonderful time together. For once, I remembered to take pictures. The first picture is Belinda's husband, Rusty, who cooked brisket for us, and helped Belinda prepare. My husband Les says that he is the hardest working man in women's ministry, which is very true. We declared Rusty to be second, right behind Les.
Belinda had several helpers besides Rusty. Karen got to help her buy all the decorations, which included celebratory glasses for the two of them.
Belinda and her helpers put in a lot of thought and work to make this day special,
beginning with home made invitations.
So, lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill Salvation Comes!
Decorations, food, fellowship, discussion of what Jubilee means, a few prizes, and singing a special "Jubilee" song, complete with motions...
And, just a few of the motions to our theme song...
"Behold He comes, riding on the clouds, shining like the son, at the trumpet call...
