OUR MISSION: To encourage and develop relationships with Jesus and each other so that we become the heart, hands, and feet of Him in our church, our community, and the world.
On March 30 Tanya Price addressed the meeting about her recent attendance at a women's conference and how she was led to present the the Steps to Effecting Everlasting Change. She made an example from her own need to trust that she has instilled into her grown children what they need to make it on their own and let go of the responsibilities they now have. That's a change we all have trouble with, isn't it? She provided handouts from the masterclass, so each of us, in our own time, can name an area in our own lives where we need to effect lasting change and follow the guides to make the change. Let's pray for one another about the changes we each may need or want to make and that God will provide whatever else we need to bring that about for the glory of His Kingdom.
Tanya and Katie Fluhr both crocheted curly heart shapes for us to make key chains from. Tanya Estes brought a box full of "Holy Land" tomato seedlings to give away. Let's pray our group has an abundance of tomato-y goodness this summer! The food provided was, as always, yummy. Thank you, Tanya P. for your willingness to lead the group this month and the enthusiastic presentation. Thanks to Tanya P, and Katie for working together on our craft project, thanks to Tanya E. for the seedlings, and thank you to all who attended and prepared the food. Growing together with one another is so good!
Attending were Debbie P., Donna T., Terri H., Tanya E., Tanya P., Sheri W. Laura H., Bonnie E., Carol K., Vicki B., Julie W., Betty S., and Paula B.
We met on February 23 to fellowship and assemble hygiene packets for our Operation Christmas Child boxes. We assembled 250 packets. These will be included in each and every shoe box we send out in November. A guest from the Hispanic church attended to learn how we operate our OCC program, as they may be joining us in this world mission.
The food provided was delicious, as usual. Thank you to all who attended and prepared the food. Others attending were Debbie P., Donna T., Terri H., Tanya E., Tanya P., Angela K., Theresa K., Laura H., Kathy P., Marti D., Cathy K., Bonnie E., Carol K., Katie F, Vicki B., and Toni S.

New Meeting Format: The monthly meetings will remain scheduled for the last Monday of the month to begin promptly at 6:30p. We will incorporate a brief call to the floor after opening prayer. This will be a short time to share testimony, praise, prayer requests, ministry needs or ideas, so that our mission of developing relationships, supporting missions, and encouraging the spiritual growth of the women.
