What does this years fashion have in store for you? Let's find out, right now! (camera's start flashing)

Our first model of fashion is______________, she is wearing a gown of compassion. While not long ago, before accepting Christ we knew her as very selfish & cruel, she is now a different person, one who cares and is concerned for those who are suffering. She is moved to tears when she hears of the misfortune of others. This fashion of compassion is the look for this spring! Thank you ______________.

Our next model, _____________ is wearing the new Spring Look of Kindness. This is truly an excellent array of Character and demeanor. While __________________, never made herself useful in any need of the church before, we now find her looking for ways to be useful to those in need. She accents her wardrobe with goodness and the big difference I see in _____________ is she doesn't just think about kindness, she acts on Kindness by doing. I love this new look, don't You?

We now have ________________modeling the new look of humility. While others fight for position, control and power, we see __________modeling a very attractive look of understanding. She does not feel the pressure to impress you, instead she purposes to think of herself as a servant of God. This new look of Humility is catching on! Thank you ________________.

Modeling the New look of Gentleness we have _______________. Her wardrobe is accented with meekness and is soft in its flowing design. Gentleness is truly a becoming look in our harsh world we live in and it is a refreshing look as so many angry tones are echoed throughout a day. We should all desire this fantastic array of Gentleness. Thank you ____________ for showing us this great new look for spring.

Last, but not least we have __________________modeling Patience. Wow, what can be said of this New look of Patience. She use to complain about everything and now she demonstrates endurance without complaining while she is under distress. Patience is the new look for spring and it looks great on ______________. Thank you for showing us by example how to put on patience.

Now if my assistant will assist me, We have necklaces of Love that we want to give you for participating in our Spring Fashion of Compassion.

Let's give them a Hand.
