JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. –
The "Kick-Off" event for the Tapestry Young Women's Ministry was held at the Joint Base Andrews Liberty Park Welcome Center on January 23, 2015.
"The purpose of the event was to introduce to the Andrews' community to a group that caters to the spiritual side of life while encouraging an environment that fosters relationships with women of similar faith and interests," said Staff Sgt. Keesha Green, 11th Wing chaplain assistant.
"This kick-off event was a success; it was a fun, comfortable environment that allowed young women to come out and enjoy each other's company," said Green.
The ladies came together on a Friday night in a relaxed mood wearing pajamas, eating popcorn and watching the movie, God's Not Dead.
The movie was an avenue to open up a discussion amongst the women.
"We want to focus on inspiring one another through Christ-centered events and activities allowing for an innovative, safe haven for women across the base," said Senior Airman Nila Curry, 844th Communications Group Command Chief executive assistant.
The ministry is overseen by Chaplain Crystal Jones and Senior Master Sgt. Marcia Hull.
"We decided to launch Tapestry to empower young women to develop a relationship with Christ and each other," said Curry. "We saw that there were no outlets on JBA for women to inspire one another, develop spiritually, and glorify Christ in positive outings and activities."
Tapestry plans to hold weekly bible studies, sponsor community outreach events, and retreats, in addition to open-mic and talent shows, workshops, concerts, and plays that will bring together young women.
