First Meeting - October 18, 2008


The Lord has great plans in store for the Women of Hope in the 08-09 season! I'm excited to begin. Be sure to mark your calendars for Oct. 18th at 9:30am in the church basement, for the first meeting of Women of Hope.
NOTE: We usually meet the first Saturday of the month, but because our pastor and his wife's baby is due on Nov. 4th, we are having a baby shower that first weekend.

We'll be looking at what's in store for 2008 and 2009. Some events include a Delectable Desserts and Cookie Exchange, Worship Around the World, a March Retreat and more.

I hope to see many of the ladies from Hope and the surrounding community come and join us to see what the Lord has in store!

If you have any questions, please post it under Comments and I'll be sure to reply.
