The Samford University Legacy League is offering two opportunities for encouragement from bestselling author Susan Alexander Yates, an international speaker, blogger and columnist.
Yates will share messages relevant for all ages and stages of life in two events on Feb. 11, both planned in accordance with CDC guidelines.
Mom to five, grandmother to 21 and a pastor’s wife for 50 years, Yates has written 16 faith-building books.
“(She) does not discount the fears and worries of our lives, but she challenges us to reorient our perspective,” said bestselling author Jodie Berndt. “Instead of letting our issues take up the whole screen and cloud our vision, Susan encourages us to stack these things up against the awesome power and love of our Almighty God.”
“Anchored in Hope: Finding Wisdom for Every Season” is the theme of the Legacy League’s annual Scholarship Luncheon, sponsored by Brookdale University Park and Wells Fargo Advisors.
The event will be held at 11 a.m. at a country club in Vestavia, with the program starting at 11:30 a.m. Reservations are $60, $30 of which is tax-deductible.
That evening, Yates will focus on “Finding Peace in Times of Uncertainty” in a program at 7 p.m. at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Homewood. Reservations are $15; and doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
Proceeds from both events will provide scholarships for students with significant financial need and challenging circumstances.
The Legacy League is a volunteer organization with nearly 800 members ranging in age from 22 to 100.
