The Elizabeth chapter of the Mary and Martha Joy Fellowship of Come Together in Jesus Name will hold its monthly meeting of praise and worship at New Hope Assembly of God located at 900 Peairs Road, Elizabeth, at 7 p.m. Monday. Ministering will be the Rev. Earlene Coleman, senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in McKeesport since 2003. There is no charge; a free-will offering will be taken.

Coleman is one of a growing group of women pastors in Western Pennsylvania. A native of McKeesport, she retired from the McKeesport School District after 30 years. Upon retirement, she accepted God’s call to preach. Coleman was licensed in the ministry in 1992 and ordained in 1994. She graduated from YWCA Outreach Bible School-Hardy Affiliated, and attended classes at Greater Works and Raven Ministries. She went through the Pastor’s Excellence Program for three years with the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention and received a diploma from the Seminary of Zimbabwe.

Pastor Earlene is an anointed preacher and teacher, and conference, retreat and seminar speaker. She works with the mayor, school district and community leaders to help the youth of the area. She teaches Bible studies in her own and other churches and has appeared on CTV. She is an intercessor who loves to minister to the hurting and see them set free from the bondage of the enemy.

All are welcome to attend. For more information, call Virgie Vidil at 412-384-4882 or Justine DeBellis at 412-384-3299.
