Hi! I am HenriAnn Smith – one of the faces that greet you on Sunday mornings!
I was drawn to Father’s Vineyard over 17 years ago. My heart was touched by the warm welcome of the congregation, the staff of excellent teachers, preachers and encouragers, the gracious office staff, and the depth of worship. Soon I began serving in Kid’s Church as a helper, then as a teacher. I have served in Youth Ministry since it’s banner was “Battle Cry”.
 
Three years ago I was asked to serve in the Women’s Ministry. Now acting as director I am extremely grateful for the wonderful gifting of my predecessors. Faye Mitchell built a firm foundation of the Word as our life and the ministry’s standard. The Prophetic Voice of Sonya Twitty continued to powerfully and lovingly call us out to God’s beautiful purposes for our lives!

My desire and intent is to build on this foundation. Ministry may take various forms, from biblical teaching to physical hands-on service. Each of these are accomplished best within relationship, starting with our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

I believe the Lord has called us to connect on a deeper level. While honoring the sacred hearts of each other and the varied journeys of one another, we seek to spur each other on to love and the good works the Lord presents to us. We were not meant to do life alone. Yet many of us lack the closeness as well as the safety to open one’s heart to seek friendship, guidance, and support as we traverse the bumpy road of life. To move forward I believe the Lord is calling us to connect as Sisters in His Vine – Heart to Heart.
 
I’ve been blessed with a wonderful team of women to work with.   Amanda Nalley heads up our Book Club which meets on the 2nd Saturday every other  month.  We invite you to join us growing in our Father’s Vineyard as “Sisters in His Vine”.
