Good morning, friends! It looks like it will be a beautiful day, and I'm ready for it. I hope you are too.
This Saturday, March 15th, is our annual WOW Bowling Party at Four Seasons in Hillsboro. http://www.4seasonsbowling.com/contact.html
We'll meet there at 10:30 AM, bowl a couple games, and finish off with lunch in their nice dining room. If you'd like to carpool, meet behind the church at 10 AM. Please let me know if you're planning to attend. You may bring your grade school girls if you'd like.
We will finish our study of James this week in our women's Bible studies. If you've attended in the past, I'd love for you to come prepared to share a verse that has really spoken to you during our study, or a concept or challenge you've dealt with as a result of our in-depth study of the Book of James over these past six months. How has this study impacted your life? (And if you don't have something to share, please come anyway!) Barbara will be providing a snack for Common Grounds (6:30 Wednesday evening) and Cassie will bring something to stave off our hunger at The Perk (9:30 Thursday morning). Kristen will be our MIC that day, so a big thanks to her!
It's raining babies, so it's time for some showers! Tiffany Johnson's shower had to be rescheduled due to the snowstorm last month, but here is the link to your personal invitation for her baby shower next week. http://www.evite.com/event/00FFBH32B36DCEZZGEPDU3PVTH6NZI. I love that it's being billed as a Gawk and Graze Shower! This will be your chance to meet sweet little Isabella if you haven't already had the opportunity.
And another little girl joined the Wapato Family on March 1st. Jesseca gave birth to healthy Lilly, and we will be celebrating her birth soon. So be looking for announcements about that.
Of course you all know that our WOW retreat is coming up in about a month, and that all the spots have been filled. We are so excited about that weekend (April 11th-13th) and our time together with our speaker, Laurie Sheffield.
For those of you unable to attend that, remember that I'll host a mini-retreat here at my house on Ashberry Lane on the first Friday and Saturday of May. The cost is only $10 and we will be watching a video of our April retreat speaker, plus have a lot of fun and good food. We'll start with dinner on Friday night and after our session together you'll be able to go home and get a good night's sleep in your own bed before coming back for Saturday. Nursing babies are welcome. Please let me know if you plan on coming.
Something else to be sure you've entered on your calendar is our annual Feminini-Tea, coming up Saturday, May 17th, at 10 AM at the church. More details will be coming within a few weeks, but plan ahead to bring your daughters (must be at least 5 years old and able to sit quietly during a presentation) and your friends. As usual, we'll be looking for women who would like to host a table by decorating it and providing dishware. Everyone will be bringing food to share. We always have a wonderful time!
I've enjoyed chatting with all of you this morning. I hope you've found something here that piques your interest and you decide to join us in our activities. You won't regret it!
Until next week,
Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
