‘Chit Chat’ breakfast is Saturday
The Women’s Ministry of Goler Memorial AME Zion Church, 630 North Patterson Ave., will host its Second Annual Chit Chat & All That Sistah’s Breakfast & Table Talk on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 9 a.m. – noon at the Goler Enrichment Center next to the church.
This spirit-filled event is designed to help motivate and empower women to create new spiritual perspectives when facing issues that beset them on a daily basis. This year’s theme, “Moving Beyond Our Mountains,” will expound upon techniques women can use while feeling stuck “between a rock and a hard place” and are unable to cope. Table topics will include “50 Shades of Grey,” “Dancing To The Beat of A Different Drum,” “Social Butterflies” and more.
