Theme for This Year
Deaconess Tope Aiyere announced 2023’s theme during her report recorded at the Celebration Dinner in Orpington Town Hall.

Kept by the Power of God
The Kept Woman
Daughter of the Most High God, we thank God for His unfailing power through which abundant help was extended to us all through the year 2022 as we considered the theme: The Helped Woman (Psalm 121:1-2). He has been faithful in ensuring that He brought us through the year with amazing results to the glory of His name. Hallelujah!
This year 2023, we continue to make strides as we consider the theme: Kept by the power of God – The Kept Woman. This is an extension of our theme from last year, and I firmly believe this is the year we will experience what it means to be kept by the Lord like never before.
The Word of God tells us in Psalm 121:5 that “The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand.” As such, He keeps us safe from every attack of the evil one and also displays His glory to others!
Therefore, I pray for you that the protective power of God will be evident in your life and your family in the mighty name of Jesus Christ (amen).
Daughter of the Most High God, I welcome you to the year 2023, a year where His mighty power will keep you and all that belongs to you so you can show forth His glory unreservedly (amen).
Remain blessed.

The Virtuous Woman
Proverbs 31
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
