Happy Tuesday morning to each of you. I hope your week has gotten off to a great start and that you, like me, are enjoying our spring-like weather. What a great chance to spend time outdoors walking, doing a little prep work in the flower beds, or playing with the kids. Especially since we know these days won't last!
This Saturday, 10 AM at the church, is the baby shower for Hollie Banks. She's having a sweet little girl, and we'd like to bless her with our love. She needs basic things like diapers, but it's always fun to get something special for the new baby, so feel free to bring whatever you'd like. A light brunch will be provided. Laura needs to know how much food to prepare, so please contact her to let her know you're coming.
Both women's Bible studies meet this week, and I'd love to have you join us. There's never a bad time to come for the first time! Common Grounds is Wednesday at 6:30 PM and Janet is bringing snacks. On Thursday at 9:30 AM The Perk (child care provided) meets, and Sharon is bringing our nibblies (yes, that's a newly-coined word!) and Stephanie is the MIC. Thanks to each of you for helping out. This week we'll be studying James 4:7-10 plus watching part of Beth Moore's DVD. We always have a good time together, so I hope to see you there.
Speaking of having a good time together, make sure you've got our annual Women Of Wapato Retreat on your calendar for the weekend of April 11th-13th. Our theme is What Not to Wear, and yes, it's based on that fun TLC television show with Stacey and Clinton. Our speaker, Laurie Sheffield, from Lake Bible Church in Lake Oswego, will be leading us in a wonderful weekend of discovery based on Psalm 139.
Registration opens: Sunday, February 2nd
Cost: $80 (must pay in full to hold your spot; checks to WVC, but handed to me)
Location: Lincoln City
Because the house can "only" accommodate 40 people, we have a tiered registration system. For the first five weeks, it is open to women who attend Wapato, but on March 9th it will expand to you being able to bring friends and family members if there are still available spaces. (Which there almost always are.) Just a reminder that we are unable to accommodate any children outside the womb.
So, that's that for this week!
