Dinner, a play and a book signing are just a few of the events being offer as part of Rainbow Park Baptist Church’s Women’s Day Celebration.

The day’s theme is “Godly Women Empowering Generations.” The festivites start with free continental breakfast, praise, fellowship and workshops from 8 a.m. until noon.

Dr. Regina Anderson, author of “Sisters on the Journey,” also will sign copies of her book at the event.

The church will introduce a new cancer support ministry, LIFE, Living in Faith Eternally, spearheaded by cancer survivor Laverne Lewis.

A Dinner Theater featuring the play by Sandy Ferguson takes place from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The play “From Generation to Generation” follows the life journey of Hope, whose mother died when she was very young and left her a purse that she never opened until late in life.

“A mysterious bag lady, her guardian angel, collects bags throughout the play,” Ferguson said.

She says the bags accumulated by the women in their lifetime symbolize the baggage they carry – their past hurts, their frustrations.

Ferguson said many women fill the void in their hearts with material things.

“Throughout generations, some patterns emerge,” she said. “If we are not careful, new things can’t come into our life if old baggage is holding you down.”

Tickets are $25 and include dinner and free valet parking.

The play alone is free beginning at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary.
