Bible Study, a birthday party, an opulent Gatsby party, oh my!

Once again a great bible class taught by Rev Connie...message today was about adopting courage thru adversities knowing that GOD is simply teaching one to work out one's muscle of faith! Id also like to thank Egmondt Fine Bakery www.egmondtfinebakery.com  for their delicious sample of pastries and breads delivered within 45 minutes notice for our bible studies! A wonderful and humble owner who has just started his bakery a few months ago! We were even blessed with a wonderful 85th birthday celebration for the ever so lovely Peg Cochran at Sage restaurant. I for one am thankful for being part of such a wonderful church family. As for last night...well Mr. Savor's mansion Gatsby party for the FLIFF opening night was simply fabulous!!!

Drama post Women's Bible Study!

Today's Lesson learnt from such a wonderful lecture series taught by Dr. Connie Caldwell..."integrity:- people with integrity are those whose words match their deeds and whose behaviors mirror their values" (an exert from today's HOPE brochure) all I can say is thank you all for your caring as what seemed a devastating news to me when I thought my dog had just passed. I would also thank Rita for driving me home to check the situation out as I was in no state of mind to drive and as we slowly opened the door expecting the worst, we spontaneously burst out in a laughter as we saw that it was simply one of my dog's teddy bears that looked like him whilst I was checking on him via a baby cam on my iPhone!!!! lOl... It is truly a blessing to have such wonderful new friends who care...I thank you all the First Ladies of the Round Table! :0) I know that I am truly blessed because I have you!

 

Women's Bible Study of Esther

Ladies be sure to attend the eye opening Bible Studies session with Rev Connie on Thursdays 10 am at the Chapel in The Sky. A ten week study of Esther ending on Dec 5th 2013. We are anticipating a special SWIF movie night at end of this study in December that would nicely tie and clarify the story and character of Esther as a grand finale.

Healthy Body & Soul

On Monday the 'Christianity and Culture night' lecture was very informative where the lecturers where a mother and daughter Pilates health trainers who spoke about core and health for all ages. We had a full house at the Cottage..I knew half of the attendees which was wonderful and met a few more! I encourage all to attend the next culture night! As for our luncheon on Sunday we had a ball...one would think that the SWIF ladies of the round table were on some natural high as we had the loudest table of laughter and hearty gossip!! lol :0)
