Tuesday, February 17, 2015 WOW-Zine

Hi, my dear friends. This will be extremely short as I can just barely hold my head up for five minutes at a time. It's been ages since I've been this sick. That starting to feel better thing I had going one last week was certainly short-lived. I relapsed and got sicker than ever. Went to the doctor yesterday and have a respiratory infection, so now I'm getting by with Jesus and drugs! 

I've had to cancel life for this week and just concentrate on getting well. I feel terrible about it, but am cancelling both Bible studies this week. There's just no way I can do them, nor would you want to be around me. So let's plan on meeting together next week, instead.

I certainly hope to be well by Sunday, which is when our retreat registration opens up to those who attend Wapato. I don't have enough energy to rehash the details right now, so I'll just paste in what I wrote about it last week: 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.

So bring an $80 check made out to WVC with you on Sunday, and you'll get to register and select your room.

Oh, one of the missionary families we support, the Foldens, are now living in the Forest Grove/Cornelius area. They just had a new baby and a move and have been through some recent hard times. If you would like to provide a meal to help them out, please call Cheri Morey at 503-830-8876. I'm too sick to do the TakeThemA Meal coordination that we usually use, so we're going old-school with this one!

Until next week,

Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
