Martha Stearns Marshall Day of Preaching

February 24, 2019, with Tiffany Pittman

Tiffany Pittman is the Director of Admissions at Eden Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri, and a member of the Alliance of Baptists board of directors, serving on the development and communications committees.

Beginning in 2007, Baptist Women in Ministry invited Baptist churches to participate in Martha Stearns Marshall Month of Preaching by having a woman preach during the month of February. This annual event has been a deeply significant source of joy and discovery for many churches as they have celebrated the giftedness of women. This annual preaching month is named for Martha Stearns Marshall, an eighteenth-century Separate Baptist woman.

Royal Lane joins BWIM in this celebration on February 24, 2019, with Tiffany Pittman as preacher.

Q&A Luncheon will be held in Vickrey (Family) Hall following worship. (childcare provided)

“We were going to talk about callings and how age has nothing to do with our callings and how we are supposed to live them out even as we retire from our professional careers. We were going to talk about our purpose in life as servants to God and how our callings can be lived out in ministerial and secular settings. I have spent 12 years admitting people into seminary – I have helped over 500 people go on to pursue their masters. Half of these people are 50 years and older. I have fact sheets for over the past 4 years that show how this has been the truth. Also, over 50% are women. I would like to help all people see how their calling is evolutionary and developmental as they go through life.” – Tiffany Pittman
