Hi there, friends! This is going to be a short WOW-Zine as I'm feeling under the weather today and not very creative. But there are still some important things you need to know about, so please keep reading!
First of all, a huge thank you to Amy for hosting the fabulous Peppermint Pound Party at her house last Saturday evening. What a great time we all had! Her big house in the little woods was decorated to the hilt, putting us all in a festive mood. Everyone was decked out in red and white, which added extra fun. The food everyone brought was delicious, and we had a wonderful time opening our White Elephant gifts, fighting over some of them, trying to sneak around the rules, and becoming part of the Chi Chi Dango Sisterhood!! (You had to be there to know what I'm talking about with that last item.) We laughed so hard the tears ran down our legs! We are all blessed by being a part of this wonderful group of women we have at Wapato.
If you recall, last week I begged, pleaded, and groveled for someone to take over being the Shower Coordinator, and Laura Fordyce stepped up. Thank you so much, Laura! She'd love to have a couple other gals come along beside her, so please let her or myself know if you'd like to help. Laura is such fun to hang out with that I'm sure she'll be inundated by all you women that just want to be able to spend time with her as you work together to honor our women that are having babies or getting married.
This week both Common Grounds (Wednesday, 6:30 PM) and The Perk (Thursday, 9:30 AM) will be having our annual cookie exchange along with our Bible study. So in addition to bringing your Bible, bring along 3 dozen cookies, as well as an extra platter. You'll get to enjoy several other kinds of cookies than the ones you usually make, which is always fun. And you don't have to wait until you get home to eat them--they'll be your snack at the study!
Don't forget our Undeck the Halls party on Friday, December 28th at the church at 6 PM. Please let me know you're coming so I'll be sure to have enough pizza and soda on hand. (Bring along $5 to cover the cost, please.) The church has been especially beautifully decorated this Christmas, and it will be time to lovingly put things away until next year.
Lastly, it's not too soon to be thinking ahead to our WOW Beach Retreat in Lincoln City the weekend of April 12th-14th. Just $80 will cover most of your expenses for the weekend. Our theme hasn't been determined yet, but you know you don't want to miss out on this time together. As usual, attendance is limited to 40. I'll be giving you more information as we go along, but make sure it's on your new calendar.
