The Scenic City Women's Network will host their April Marketplace Luncheon on Thursday, April 23 at Mountain City Club, 729 Chestnut St, Networking will begin at noon and lunch at 1 p.m.
The luncheon will feature Pat Merrell, speaking on "Without Faith, it is Impossible to Please God." Officials said, "Ms. Merrell grew up on Chattanooga’s Southside, watching her grandmother model the life of a woman after God’s own heart. Though her grandmother passed when Patricia was in her mid-twenties, her legacy of faith left a lasting impression.
"When Ms. Merrell suddenly became widowed with two school-aged children while in her mid-forties, her faith was tested beyond measure. Single parenting, loss of a partner, loss of financial support, among other things, became extremely overwhelming. It was then that she decided to run towards the Lord with all of her cares. God used this trial to draw her closer to Him."
Ms. Merrell is registered nurse, managing a team of nurses at BCBST. She has two children, Jerrod and Daphne.
