If it's Monday, it must be WOW-Zine time. But I'm wondering if anyone is even reading this! Even with the pictures I posted last week, there were no comments left. Hmm ... I may have to start a contest again to get you gals to leave comments.
Common Grounds, our Bible study, will be meeting this Wednesday at the church at 6:30. The new time seems to be working better for most people, and for those of you that it doesn't, I'm sorry. It's just hard to find the perfect time. We had 26 women at our last meeting, when we began the study on Self Talk, Soul Talk. This subject seems to have struck a chord with many women. Feel free to invite friends to join us. Just show up with your Bible and a notebook and expect a great night!
Our next special event is on Friday, October 22nd. I'm calling it our Life is Short evening, as we're starting with dessert at Joe's Ice Cream Shoppe in Forest Grove. That's the "oldies" ice cream place on the corner of Main and Pacific where we went after bowling last year. After filling up on goodies there, we'll head to the church for some sandwiches and snacks during our game night. So there's a lot packed into one evening, and you won't want to miss a fun-filled minute of it.
In last week's WOW-Zine I said we'd be sharing some tidbits of things we learned at the Selah Conference. So here's the goodie for this week: Vicki Norris spoke about The Priority Principle--have I made room in my life for God's priorities? His priorities are to love, obey, go, and share. She challenged us to look for evidence of those things in our lives. To ask, "How am I showing love, obedience, going, and sharing?"
In next week's issue I'll have a great announcement to make concerning our retreat the first weekend of March. Start putting away a few dollars here and there, as it will be on a first paid, first registered basis for filling our slots. You won't believe the place we have this year!!

Do you think that some of us from Gaston could car pool that night to the icecream shop, seeing how we are coming back to the church?
ReplyDeleteThat's a terrific idea, Darci. We'll work the details of that out when we get close to the date. And contratulations on being the first person to leave a comment! I'm going to have to get a little something for you!! You even beat Chrissy, and she's pretty fast!!
ReplyDeleteI really should proofread my comments! I meant to say "congratulations", not "contratulations!" which sounds like you're in labor! A special treat for ladies who leave a sentence here between now and Wednesday at Common Grounds, using the word "contratulations."
ReplyDeleteContratulations Sherrie, on posting your blog on Monday! I do read it and learn all your new words as often as possible :) Amy Applebee
ReplyDeleteBecause I had premature babies, I did not contratulate for long.
ReplyDeleteAmy, you do know, don't you, that there will be a test on Sherrie-isms at the end of the year??
ReplyDeleteThat's a great, true sentence, Christina. Very cute!
Contratulations for noticing your own spelling error! I usually just fly over them and don't notice :o)I'll be there tomorrow and can't wait!
ReplyDeletethat last comment me!
