March 1, 2016 Wow-Zine

 

Happy first of March to each of you. It looks like our spring flowers are getting well-watered, doesn't it?           






 SATURDAY, MARCH 5TH
WOW BOWLING PARTY
10:30 AM
Four Seasons Bowling Center
Hillsboro 

If you love to roll heavy balls down a slick floor and knock things over, this is the event for you! Or if you just like to watch other people do that, this is the event for you! I will be unable to attend, but I hope a lot of the rest of you can make it. Gaston-area people can meet at The Hub parking lot at 10 AM to carpool. Feel free to bring your daughters (4th grade and older) with you, and stay for lunch afterward. 


You still have a couple opportunities to bless new parents Kaitlyn and Bryan Marsh with some meals. Head over to http://www.takethemameal.com/meals.php?t=LQLW6615 to sign up for either this Friday or next Monday.


RETREAT: APRIL 8-10TH
WHO'S YOUR DADDY?--Redefined by His Love
With Guest Speaker Joy Roberts                          
Yes, you're reading that right. Never before have all the spaces been filled so early, but at this point we are completely booked! If you'd like to be put on a waiting list, let me know. Not that you would pray for someone to get sick at the last minute, but ... you never know! It's still five weeks until retreat, but we will start working out the carpooling in a few weeks. And I will send a letter to attendees letting you know what to bring and what to expect. Your Women's Ministry Team is really excited to have you joining us!

We're continuing our study through the Book of Colossians, beginning at 3:11. (That's the chapter, not the time!) Nathalie is providing treats for The Perk (Thursday morning from 9:30-11. Childcare provided.) That evening for Common Grounds (6:30-8) Lauren will bring our snack. 

Pull out your calendar and make the following changes to our weekly Bible studies for the month of March/April:

~March 3rd--We meet as usual

~March 10th--No studies

~March 17th--We meet

~March 24th--No studies (Spring Break)

~March 31st--We meet

~April 7th--No studies (Retreat Week)

We will resume our weekly studies on April 14th!

Until next time,

Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
