Tuesday, January 19, 2016 WOW-Zine

This will be a short communication today, as I'm fighting a cold and don't have a lot of energy. I do plan on being well enough to teach this week, however, so please plan ahead to attend one of our Bible studies. (I just won't hug you!)

Believe it or not, we actually did get through four verses last week, so we'll be starting at Colossians 2:13 on Thursday. We're learning a lot as we work our way through this small, but powerful, book. Both of our women's Bible studies meet at the church. The Perk gathers from 9:30-11 AM (Natalie is bringing treats) and Common Grounds from 6:30-8 PM (McKenna is providing goodies.) Childcare is available in the morning. 

Coming soon to a church near you--Romance in the Valley. This is our church Valentine event on Saturday, February 13th, 7 PM at the church. This year we are doing dessert only, and the $10 per person will cover the cost of that, childcare, and giveaways. You'll be able to purchase your tickets starting this Sunday. 

On the more distant horizon is our annual Women's Retreat April 8-10th in Lincoln City. If you've never gone with us before, this is the year to change that all around! We stay in a beautiful 4-story house in the southern end of Lincoln City, which comfortably sleeps 40 people! The cost is only $90, which covers most of your meals for the weekend.
Theater w/balcony seats up to 40, fireplace, 1/2 bath, organ, kitchenette
(The theater, where we meet for our sessions.)
Our theme this year is Who's Your Daddy? with guest speaker Joy Roberts, from Lake Bible Church. 

Registration for women who attend Wapato Valley Church will open the first Sunday of February. Then we have a tiered registration in which we open it to ladies who have attended retreat in the past but don't go to Wapato, and then lastly, if spots are still open, we invite you to bring friends who have never come before. I must receive payment in full in order for you to register. (Please give cash or checks to me, with checks made out to Wapato Valley Church. When you register you will be able to choose your bed at the same time.)

Until next time,
