Happy First Day of School to many of you! I'm sure it was a busy morning trying to get your kiddos up, fed, and out the door with great attitudes (both theirs and yours!) early this morning. Congratulations on doing it!
Does the first day of school feel like the first day of a new year to you? Even though I'm a grandma and a great-grandma, it still feels that way to me. I want to get things planned out, cleaned out, and carried out. Yesterday I spent quite a bit of time cleaning out desk drawers and organizing my desk top. No, the fact that I was desperately seeking a misplaced item had nothing to do with that! I'm sure I would have taken on that task anyway. (Yeah, right!)
The hiatus we've been on for the past several weeks will soon be over, and our Women's Ministry will be geared up and ready to go. Two weeks from tomorrow, Wednesday, September 17th, Common Grounds will resume, followed by The Perk on Thursday morning, the 18th. I'm really excited about the new study we'll start with this year, called God is Just not Fair. (You can punctuate that however you best see fit!) This study will deal with how to find hope when life doesn't make sense. We've had a lot of that going on in our community over recent weeks--things happening that break our hearts and make us wonder why God allows them. I'm not saying you'll get answers to every question you have during our time together, but I think it will help each of us as we struggle with "real life." We are in great need of a teenage girl who can assist with childcare for Thursday mornings. We've used three home schooled girls over the past couple years, but all of them are unavailable this year. So if you know of a reliable young woman who can be an assistant to the Mom in Charge (MIC) this year, please let me know right away. (There is a small remuneration each week.) It's such a blessing for our mothers to have childcare provided and only have to be in charge of it every now and then.
Until next week,
Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
