Good morning, ladies! Are you ready to step over the threshold and into the month of December? I know it's going to be a busy month for most of us, so we'd better put our running shoes on. Which will certainly go well with an ugly Christmas sweater. Which just happens to remind me of the WOW Christmas Party coming up this Saturday at 6 PM at the church. Have you signed up yet? If not, please do so very soon. We'd like to have a fairly accurate idea of how many ladies to plan for. Feel free to invite your friends. Go to http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090a4ba8a629abf85-wowchristmas to get all the details, RSVP, and also say what food you're bringing. Some more entrees would really be helpful. We're encouraging people to wear an ugly Christmas sweater, but you can certainly still attend if you don't want to do that! And don't forget to bring a wrapped, new gift, costing around $10 for our gift exchange.
As you probably know by now, we've had two of our ladies--Becky Clark and Melissa Linck--deliver babies in the past few days. Congratulations to both of you! That means the rest of us have the opportunity to bless these families with meals. Jaimie Ashcraft is the new meal coordinator, and she has a signup available for the Clark family at http://www.takethemameal.com/meals.php?t=XCAQ9174.
We don't yet have the all the information for Melissa, so I'll send out a separate notification for her in the next day or two. I do know she'd like meals starting on Monday, so you can keep that in mind.
This week at The Perk (Thursday at the church, from 9:30-11 AM) we'll be studying the topic of stress/anxiety. This is probably something we can all identify with, especially at this time of the year. So grab your Bible and a notebook and come join us! Snacks are being provided by Aimee this week, and childcare is available.
A way to help de-stress is to write down some Scripture every day. Several of us have been doing this for a year or more, and you can find the December writing plan here. http://www.swtblessings.com/
You'll need to scroll down the home page to find the plan, but I wanted you to have the chance to see all the other things that are offered on this site, including what looks to be a wonderful Advent calendar for your family based on doing Acts of Kindness. So be sure to take a look!
Due to your responses on our Women of Wapato Facebook page, you'll be happy to know that Wapato will be providing a Christmas Eve service at 6 PM on the 24th, as well as a Christmas Day service on Sunday. We hope you and your family can attend one or both.
Until next time,
Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
