Beforeword: When a church invited me to give the welcome for their 70th anniversary celebration of Ladies’ Day, I knew this couldn’t be just any ordinary greeting. Seventy years of legacy, faith, and sisterhood? That calls for something memorable, creative — and a little unexpected.

So buckle up, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as I deliver a welcome with a twist — flight-attendant style! ✈️

Good morning, brothers and sisters, saints and seekers! I am your flight attendant.

Welcome aboard Flight 777, non-stop service to Higher Ground, operated by Kingdom Airlines, under the divine command of Captain Jesus Christ and navigated by the Holy Spirit.

If this is your first flight with us, we are thrilled to welcome you aboard. If you’re a frequent flyer, welcome back — your seat in heavenly places awaits!

At this time, we ask that you turn off all cellular devices and put aside distractions — including scrolling, swiping, and texting — as they may interfere with our direct connection to God.

As we prepare for takeoff, please ensure that your heart is tuned, your attitude is in the upright position, and your faith is fastened securely. All carry-on burdens should be stowed away — they’ve already been checked in and covered by the blood of Jesus.

Our more seasoned saints are invited to assist those newer to the flight path. You are our in-flight guides, pointing others to the throne of God, using clear instructions from the Bible — our spiritual safety manual.

Our flight pattern today will take us through clouds of “Hallelujahs”, winds of “Amen”, and occasional turbulence of “Praise the Lord!” Should things get loud or louder, simply lean into His everlasting arms and whisper, “Thank you, Jesus.”

In compliance with Federal Spirituality Regulations, we kindly remind all passengers to worship with reverence and joy throughout this heaven-bound flight.

If there’s anything we can do to make your worship experience more spiritual or more blessed, please don’t hesitate to let a member of our crew — ministers, deacons, or ushers — know.

On behalf of the entire Kingdom Airlines crew, thank you for choosing to worship with us today.

We’re honored to journey with you — now let’s lift off in spirit and in truth!

Afterword: Ladies’ Day began as a way to recognize and uplift the contributions of women in the church during a time when they were largely excluded from leadership roles and decision-making. In many congregations, women were expected to serve quietly in the background — organizing events, teaching children, and supporting male leadership. But over the past 70 years, we’ve witnessed powerful change and undeniable progress.

Women are now standing in pulpits, being ordained as pastors, and leading ministries with vision, strength, and spiritual authority.

Ladies’ Day is not just a celebration — it’s a testament to resilience, faith, and the evolving role of women in the body of Christ.
