This week's WOW-Zine has some important information, so please take a couple minutes to read through it and respond to me if needed.
The concert for women and teen girls is this Saturday night at Lake Bible Church in Lake Oswego. I've purchased 20 tickets but can still get more at the $5 price if you've decided you'd like to go. Please check this list carefully to make sure your name is on it if you've already signed up. Sometimes it gets a bit busy and I wouldn't want to leave your name off if you're planning on going. At this point in time I know of the following people who have signed up: Kristin L, Karen F, Christina T, Andrea B, Janet G, Debbie H, Margarita, Jaimie S, Hollie S, Kristen S, (no, those last three are not related!), Heidi H plus 3 more, Debby J, Brooke J, Jodee J, (two are related!), Becky C, Susan D, Sherri B, Terri. Anyone else? (I still need $5 from some of you.) I will be sending information tomorrow to all who have signed up, so you can work out the car pooling for this like we do for retreat. If you're willing to drive, please let me know how many additional passengers you can carry, and whether you'll be leaving from Forest Grove, Gaston, or ... Doors open at 6:15 for snacks before the concert, and it takes about 45 minutes to get there from Gaston. We can go out to Red Robin for dessert at the end of the evening.
The following Saturday morning (May 16th) is our The Purse-uit of Happiness Feminini-Tea. You will enjoy hearing several of our own women share with you. Have you found a special purse yet? I picked one up while I was out of town this weekend, and I must say, I've never had one like it before! Don a spring frock if you'd like, (or whatever you're comfortable wearing), bring a tea-type food to share, and invite friends to come with you. Young girls need to be at least five years old. If you've volunteered to host a table, I'll be contacting you tomorrow with more information, after the Women's Ministry Team planning meeting tonight. This event is free, but we do need to know you're coming and how many guests you're bringing. We'd hate to not have enough tables and place settings available, and on the other hand we'd hate to have hostesses go to all the trouble of setting up a table and then have no one sitting there! So please email or text me if you're coming and haven't already let me know. Check to see if your name is on this list:
Helen L (plus 2), Carol G, Nathalie M, Joella M, Amy R, Jody S (plus 3), Christine H, Barbara W, Karen F, Janet G, Cassie A, Cami A, Lili T, Nicole P, Keisha L, Amber M (plus 2), Tami E (plus 2), Sally F, Natalie M, Angela D, Anastasia W (plus 3).
I'd love to add your name to the list!
In the midst of these two special events going on, we also have the joy of meeting together for Bible study during the week. We have an encouraging memory verse for this week--something I think we all need to memorize whether or not you attend one of the studies. It is Isaiah 40:29--He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Don't we all want that??!
Nathalie M. signed up for treats for Common Grounds, which meets at the church on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8. I teach the same lesson (though it's never exactly the same because of the different dynamics in each group) at The Perk on Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11. (Child care provided.) Kristen S. is bringing something yummy to that this week. Thanks to both you ladies!
I've done a lot of name dropping in this today, and I hope you found yours somewhere in here! If not, contact me to say you're coming to one of these events.
Until next week,
Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
