Deeper Still!

Ladies, we have a WONDERFUL opportunity for you! Not too long ago, several of our women finished a study called, "Faithful, Abundant, True" that was filmed at the Deeper Still Conference in Orlando. Beth Moore, Kay Arthur, and Priscilia Reyes were the three speakers/teachers, and the study was truly amazing!

Beth, Kay, and Priscilia are gathering together for one last conference, this June in Louisville, KY! It's a one night conference, from June 10-11th. We have five women in already, and we want to know if you'd like to join us! Total costs are still being figured, but we do know that registration is $79 (includes lunch on Saturday).

Please contact Marcia Brown or the church ASAP if you'd like to join us; hotels are filling quickly and tickets are selling out.

I know it's hard to take time and $ away from already busy schedules, but I truly believe this will be worth it and so good for us!

A Look Ahead

My sister-in-law gave me a book recently called, "The Family Dinner," and I've been inspired anew to sit down as a family in the evenings and make dinners together a priority.  The list of benefits is long, but at the very least, it's time for us to connect.  As I was talking about it with the evening LIFT ladies last night, it occurred to me on a whole new level, the importance of our church family meal.  For so many, this may be literally the one meal where they actually sit down, face to face with others, over a hot plate of food.  Whether it's our youth who run in every week, or it's simply our busy, working families.  This is ONE meal, each week, where we can sit, pause, connect, and eat some hot food.

It's not the last time you'll hear us say it, but our Wednesday night family meal is a vital, vital ministry and you just have to experience it to fully understand.  If you haven't, please join us!  

Keeping the meal running is no simple task, however, and we could use a few more willing hands. Simply bringing in a dish, coming one hour early to put food out, or staying to clean up are small things that make it all possible.  Please let Kris Lechien know if you can help at all; it's a worthy cause, I assure you!
