About 280 women met Saturday and Sunday for a women's ministry session. An additional 200 members from the Miami, Kendall, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie congregations attended the worship service. That evening Mr. and Mrs. Tkach were guests at a dinner for elders, deacons, deaconesses and their spouses organized by Larry Hinkle, pastor of the Boca Raton and Port St. Lucie congregations. After dinner Mrs. Tkach shared her vision for WCG women's ministry, and Mr. Tkach updated the group on various aspects of the church's work and plans.

We mobilized a donation drive among the three churches here. Several members donated money and food to the Red Cross in Orlando. Others donated blood. There has been much loss, but there has also been an overwhelming display of concern and sacrifice as others in the community step in to help out.
