GOD’s SABATH REST
WOMEN’S CHORUS
Everyone, it seems, lives his or her life at a
breakneck pace, constantly rushing here and there
to get everything done. Technological advances
that once promised more leisure time now seem
only to push us further behind, making it ever more
difficult to catch up.
Glad Tiding Women’s Choir Rehearsal Dates
So we frantically scramble. We feel out of touch—
out of touch with our spouse, out of touch with our
families, out of touch with the world around us and,
perhaps most of all, out of touch with God. Is there
a way to get back in touch?
In the Bible, God gives us a solution written within
the Ten Commandments. It's a commandment that
gives us time for a welcome, refreshing rest from
our weekly labors, a time during which we must no
longer be absorbed in our ordinary daily cares and
concerns—a time for spiritual rejuvenation.
Inside the Bible, Sunset to Sunset: God's Sabbath
Rest , you will read why God commanded a day of
rest and the purpose for it, why the Sabbath is
relevant for all of us today and why this day of rest
makes sense in today's world. READ the Bible to
discover the importance of God's Sabbath rest.

GLAD TIDINGS CHURCH
WOMEN'S MINISTRIES
VIRTUOUS PRAISE REPORT
IT'S HERE, SAVE THE DATE!!!
WOMEN OF THE WORD CONFERENCE 2012
MARCH 16TH-18TH
Our Conference Weekend will begin on Friday night with theme
speakers from Glad Tidings. The celebrated Brown Sisters of Chicago,
Illinois, will minister in song.
The Brown Sisters have overcome many obstacles in their lives. Along
with the passing of their brother, Zachary, who was the eldest child and
the original musician of the group, they were faced with the sudden
illness of their mother which almost took her life in 1999. The Sisters
overcame these challenges which, not only strengthened their faith and
their ministry, but also inspired them to keep pressing toward the mark
for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
The Sisters have performed together for many years, singing their
sweet harmonies at various local churches, schools, businesses,
neighborhood and community organizations. God has continued to
open doors and elevate the ministry of The Brown Sisters. As the
scripture states in Proverbs 18:16, "A man's gift maketh room for him,
and bringeth him before great men." The gift that God has invested in
them has given them the opportunity to minister before many great
people. They have served as special guest artist for many Aldermen,
Committee-men, Clerk of Circuit Court Judge campaigns, the NAACP,
as well as homeless shelters and Cook County Jail ministries in their
city.
THE PRAYER CHAPEL
March 14, 2012, The Prayer Chapel will open from 7-9pm.
Mother Clara Owens & Staff will minister.
“Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my
cry.” Psalm 88:2
Television, radio, and recording studios have all captured the
mellifluous sounds of the Sisters, but the true essence of their music
ministry cannot be fully grasped until you have partaken of the “live
experience”. The steadfast, unfailing love of God is demonstrated as
they acquiesce themselves completely unto the Holy Spirit. The Brown
Sisters is the epitome of what virtuous Christian women should be. Not
only do they sing for a living, but they live what they sing!
SATURDAY SESSIONS
On Saturday, March17th, workshop sessions will
began at 9:00 am. There will be sessions for young

MARCH 2012
Is it safe to get pregnant if I am taking ACE
inhibitors or ARBs for high blood pressure?
A VIRTUOUS PRAISE OPPORTUNITY
ATTENTION LADY ENTREPRENEUR
If you're taking an ACE inhibitor or an ARB
and think you might be pregnant, see your
doctor immediately.
YOUR
HEALTH
HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE IN WOMEN
Many people mistakenly believe that high blood
pressure, also called hypertension, is more
common among men. The truth is nearly half of all
adults with high blood pressure are women.
Beginning at age 65, after the onset of
menopause, women are actually more likely to
have this disease than men.
While HBP isn't directly related to gender, certain
woman's issues can increase your risk. Discover
how high blood pressure relates to your stage in
life.
Do birth control pills cause high blood pressure?
Medical researchers have found that birth control
pills increase blood pressure in some women. It's
more likely to occur if you're overweight, have had
high blood pressure during pregnancy, have a
family history of HBP or have mild kidney disease.
The combination of birth control pills and cigarette
use may be especially dangerous for some
women.
Before you begin taking oral contraceptives: ◦Talk
to your doctor about the risks.
◦Make sure your doctor measures and records
your blood pressure before prescribing the pill.
◦Have your blood pressure checked every six
months or so.
•Is it safe to get pregnant if my blood pressure is
high?
By following the recommendations of your
doctor and carefully managing your blood
pressure, you can help ensure a normal
pregnancy and a healthy baby. However, high
blood pressure can be dangerous for both
mother and baby. If you are taking HBP
medication and want to become pregnant,
first consult your doctor. Also keep in mind
that if you already have high blood pressure,
pregnancy could make it more severe.
As a woman with high blood pressure, what
precautions should I take if I want to become
pregnant?
Each pregnancy is different, and your doctor
will give you recommendations for your
situation. Most women with high blood
pressure should follow these precautions
before becoming pregnant. ◦Get your blood
pressure under control.
◦Watch your diet and limit salt and sodium.
◦Be active and exercise. Regular physical
activity will help you control your blood
pressure and increase your physical
condition.
◦If you're overweight, lose weight to help you
have a safer pregnancy and a healthier baby.
◦Stop using tobacco and alcohol.
If you're on medication for high blood
pressure (or any other condition), discuss all
of your medications, including over-thecounter drugs and supplements, with all of
your doctors. Never stop taking a prescription
medication without first consulting the doctor
who prescribed it.
YOUNG WOMEN
OF EXCELLENCE
Ages 13-18
By Evangelist Lawanne Ross
We are excited about what 2012 will render for
the ladies of Young Women of Excellence.
During the months to come, we will focus on
"The Cycles of Life"; February we will answer the
question, "What's LOVE got to do with it?";
March is March Madness as we will purposely
respond to our calling making the devil mad!
Remember our monthly meetings are
simultaneous with the Women's Fellowship
hosted by our First Lady, Vanessa Macklin. You
don't want to miss it! We look forward to seeing
you there.
Thank you, Lawanne' Ross
Remember, even with HBP and preeclampsia,
you can have a successful pregnancy if you
follow this advice.
The long-term effects of PIH and
preeclampsia may vary. They typically do not
increase a woman's chance for developing
chronic high blood pressure or other
cardiovascular problems.
Am I at greater risk for high blood pressure after
menopause?
As a woman grows older, her chance of
having high blood pressure becomes greater
than a man's. You may have had normal
blood pressure most of your life, but after
menopause your chances of developing HBP
increase considerably.
See your doctor regularly to have your blood
pressure monitored. If you are diagnosed with
HBP, follow the prescribed course of
treatment.
