Tuesday, April 26, 2016 WOW-Zine

Hello to you, this Tuesday afternoon. The morning seems to have gotten away from me, but here I finally am! There's not a lot of information I have to pass on to you this week, so this WOW-Zine will be pretty short.

We finally will resume our usual Bible study schedule with both studies meeting on Thursday. The Perk meets at the church from 9:30 to 11 in the morning, and Common Grounds does the same from 6:30 to 8 in the evening. In all my recent busyness I seem to have been very irresponsible and have misplaced the list for treat signups! So if you signed up for this week, please let me know. The women that meet for Common Grounds have decided not to do snacks, since we meet right after dinner. Our last study for the year (school year, that is) will be on June 9th. But don't worry, we'll have a lot of special things to do throughout the summer so that we can stay connected.  

If you are continuing to do the daily scripture writing challenge, you can find the new one for May posted here: http://www.swtblessings.com/2016/04/may-scripture-writing-plan-2016.html#.Vx_QezArK1s  The topic is one I know a lot of you can identify with!

Don't forget about the opportunity to gather with other women in the area on Saturday, May 7th for

ONE HEART: In the Neighborhood   Friendships are the platform and plan for Jesus to get His message of love, grace and forgiveness out to our neighborhoods.   “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” Proverbs 27:17   Start inviting every woman you know. It will be a fun and fab time with small breakfast bites, music and a conversation on friendship.   Saturday, May 7th  |  10:30am   The Neighborhood Church 21065 SW Stafford Rd Tualatin, OR 97062 For more info and tickets go to joyofit.org

For the JOY of It  is a community of women actively chasing after the heart of Christ together.    We are a non-profit that exists to unite women to be built-up on the truth of God’s Word so we can live it out together...for the joy of it!  Through this ministry we host leadership collaborations, prayer gatherings, city-wide events that equip women and girls to build-up each other instead of tear-down and we come along side to support and equip women and churches in raising up the next generation. For the JOY of It gets behind the existing activity of Christ that unites, builds and equips women to live out truth.  Contact us to see how we can come along-side and support you! You can hear more of the Joy of It team on the radio…Thursday afternoons at 2:30 on 93.9 KPDQ and on Sunday mornings at 11:30 on True Talk 800. Each week they explore God’s Word and discuss practical ways we can live for the joy of it in our homes, relationships and community.  So far, Jaimie ASHCRAFT and I have our tickets, and we'd love for others to join us. Let me know if you'd like to carpool.  I've been excited by the response to the secret Facebook page I started for Women of Wapato last week. It's so neat to see you be vulnerable with each other, and to watch the love and encouragement bounce back and forth. If I somehow inadvertently left your name off the invitation to the page (you all know I'm not perfect!) and you'd like to be included, please contact me.
