Would you believe I originally thought I'd have this sent out before most of you had your first cup of coffee or tea this morning? And now here it is, 5 PM, and I'm finally writing. It's been one of those catch-up kind of days. I'm hosting two meetings at my house tonight (Life Group and the Women's Ministry Team) and after having been gone for a week, then sick on my couch for 5 days, then gone for the weekend and all day yesterday--let's just say I've needed to do a bit of cleaning around here!
I'm excited that we'll be starting our new Bible study, Higher Ground, this week. Bring your Bible and a notebook on either Wednesday night at 6:30, or Thursday morning at 9:30. Both groups meet at the church. I just found out today that the band for the Valentine's shindig needs to practice at the church on Wednesday night, so Common Grounds will meet across the street at the annex this week. Jody is up for bringing snacks for that, but you'll need to bring your own drink. Carol R. is bringing something yummy for Thursday morning. Thank you both!
Speaking of Valentine's, this Saturday evening is the Heart to Heart dinner and concert at the church. Feel free to wear something a bit fancy if you'd like. You can still purchase tickets ($12.50 per person) from the church office, or reserve them by calling Susan at the church (503-985-3351) by Wednesday (tomorrow). And you don't have to scramble to find a sitter. Childcare (including dinner) is available for only $2 per child at the annex. Again, let Susan know if you're using that service. Dinner is at 7, but the doors open at 6:30. By the way, proceeds from the evening will go to benefit a 3-year-old girl named Paisley. She has a genetic mutation that promotes cancer growth. Invite your friends to come with you!
Retreat is coming! Retreat is coming! I hope you're making plans to join us at Lincoln City April 10th-12th for Hope: An Anchor for the Soul. The cost is a phenomenal $80. Registration (which means you've paid in full) begins soon. We do a three-tier approach, broken down like this:
Sunday, February 20--Open to women who attend Wapato
Sunday, March 22--Open to other women who have attended retreat in the past
Sunday, March 29--Open to family and friends who have never attended
Remember, we are limited to the first 40 people that sign up.
Until next week,
Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
