POMEROY–Ladies' Night Out was held at the Church of the Nazarene on August 20. The organizer, Alia Scoggin, gathered 45 women and girls in the fellowship hall to listen to Jessica Kellogg preach. Kellogg and her husband are pastors at Awaken Church in Wenatchee Wash., and began their ministry in Pomeroy as the Church of the Nazarene youth pastors in 2003.
Jessica Marchand and Ketura Richmond led several songs of worship before the message, when Kellogg spoke about releasing weights to Jesus. Handfuls of rocks were set out on the tables for attendees to write their weights on, then were dropped into a bucket of water set before Kellogg in return for pink ribbons that had inspirational words written on them.
"The Lord has been putting it on my heart for several years." Scoggin said as she thanked everyone for coming.
