Frazzled Female Bible Study – Starts Tuesday, April 1st
with a brief organizational meeting at April’s house at 7:30 pm. Join us!
Feeling a little frazzled??? March 20, 2008
Ok, ladies, after some research and input from someone who has been through a lot of these studies, I came across The Frazzled Female by Cindi Wood. I emailed Ben Atkinson today about the church helping us out a bit with the cost. He is going to order 12 books for us, and I have the following ladies so far: Diane, Kim, Jennifer, Nikki, Kimberly, Anne, Tanya, & me. That leaves 4 more books in his initial order, and if we can add more if needed. The books will cost $8 each.
So when will we meet? Well, Thursdays & Wednesdays are out. My suggestion is every other Tuesday night starting at 7:00 & dismissing at 8:30, no matter what! We can rotate houses if y’all want or go to the same place every time. This particular study has 6 weeks of lessons, so doing it every other week, it would be a 3 month commitment. We can then reevaluate the time, the place, the study, the everything before starting a new study.
If this sounds like a good time & a good idea, or you have a different idea for us to throw around, leave a message or send me an email. If I left your name off the list of interested ladies, I AM SO SORRY! I must have accidentally deleted your email, so please, please, please, let me know again that you are on board. We have room for anyone who desires to grow closer to God and each other. Feel free to include a friend…
Ladies Night Out – April 10th March 4, 2008
How many of you would be interested in having a table for our class at this event? Between all of us, we could set a SUPER cute table! Leave a comment or email if you are interested!
~~
From Patsy Tolleson – “Ladies, as you know our Ladies Night Out is scheduled for Thursday, April 10th at 6:00 p.m. We have a wonderful program planned for this year with Rita Sweatt ( www.ritasweatt.com ) as our guest speaker and 9 year old Candy Lee Dobbs providing our entertainment. BUT, we need your help.
~
The theme this year is: “God Brings Spring - A New Creation”. We need Table Hostesses. Here is all that is required. Provide a centerpiece that supports the theme of “Spring” or the “New Creation”. Rita will be doing a program about Mary Magdelene. You can simply have fresh spring flowers in a vase; artificial flowers, or anything that would support this theme. (One of our ladies, Pat Patten, has done several tables in years past but she will be on a cruise this year and has offered to help anyone plan their table if you will contact her.) Also sell 8 tickets to ladies who will sit at your table and if you want to provide “chargers” or ”place mats”, you can but it is not required. That is ALL that is required and if you want to partner with someone to host a table, that would be great! We will use the church dishes and silverware. Also, if you have daughters or grand-daughters near the age of Candy Lee and would like to bring them, you are welcome to do that this year! They will enjoy seeing her sing! The tickets will again be $10. Right now, we have 8 Tables being hosted, and we need at least 25 tables! We need your help!
~
If you would be willing to serve as a Table Hostess this year, please contact me as soon as possible. You can e-mail me or call me at 601 856-6632 or 601 260-1502. We will have the tickets ready to hand out to the hostesses by Sunday, March 9. We will be selling tickets in the church foyer on Sunday, March 16th and March 23rd.
~
This year, we will have our food served at the tables by some of our men. If you want to “donate” a man to help serve, contact Jane Bryan at 601 856-7297. If you would like to donate a Door Prize or make a contribution for one, contact Sue Case at 601 940-7957. Sue has promised that we will have LOTS of great door prizes this year – you won’t want to miss it.
~
Once again, I would encourage you to invite ladies both inside and outside our church, especially those you may know who are not going to church anywhere, to come with you. We will begin at 6 and we promise to be out no later than 8:30 p.m. I would also ask that you begin to pray for Rita and for Candy Lee as they prepare to come. ”
Questions to get you thinking… March 4, 2008
1.) How much time do I spend each day in God’s Word?
___ Less than one TV show
___ Less than a commercial
___ None
___ An adequate amount to quakeproof my life
2.) Do I spend more time absorbing the ways of this world than I spend in the Bible? __ Yes ___ No
3.) Do I know the Word – do I aspire to study it from cover to cover? ___ Yes ___ No
4.) Do I regularly memorize God’s Word? ___ Yes ___ No
5.) Am I quake-proofing my life by building it on the solid foundation of God’s Holy Word? ___ Yes ___ No
6.) Am I sharing God’s Word with others so they too can quake-proof their lives and avoid disaster? ___ Yes ___ No
These questions are from the last series we completed in Sunday School on life’s earthquakes, and they got me thinking. It’s really hard isn’t it, balancing being a mom, a wife, a friend, an employee, a sister, a daughter, and the many other roles we find ourselves fulfilling every day, even without the unexpected earthquakes that pop up along the way? What seems to be even harder is to find a moment to squeeze in a prayer, much less real time in God’s word. We know what we should do, but finding the time to do it and process it is often a challenge.
I would really like to start a Bible study for the girls only. I know that our time is precious and another thing is difficult to squeeze into our schedules, but I firmly believe that we can offer something to each other through sharing our faith & fumbles with each other in Bible Study, prayer, & fellowship. I was thinking once or twice a month, starting around 7:00 to allow us to take care of bellies and baths, leaving Daddies only bedtimes to handle. We could do it at a different house everytime or find a host house for each time, and maybe rotate on snacks or desserts each time. The night would be whatever fit the schedule of the majority. And of course, this is open to anyone, not just the ladies of the iLife Class.
