Mother's Day Service - May 9, 2010
Mother's Day Brunch - May 8, 2010 The Lord gave us a beautiful time together for our Mother’s Day Brunch on Saturday, May 8th, 2010. Thirty-three ladies and girls attended, and there were several guests attending: mothers (even one mother from out of state!), mothers-in-law, grandmothers, daughters, daughters-in-law, granddaughters, and friends. We even had one little baby boy attending, but he didn’t seem to mind all the admiring females around him! Kathi Banholzer planned and put together the special day and Casey Knupp helped her. Diana Psotka made beautiful hand sewn “goodie bags” for each lady. Even the girls had a special present to take home from the brunch! The ladies brought various brunch foods. After eating, we played a fun memory game in which we tried to write from memory the items that Beth Oliver had pinned to her special apron. We also had some lovely special music by Anna and Mary Oliver. They played a duet of “Onward Christian Soldiers” on the keyboard. The fellowship hall was decorated with the theme of butterflies and flowers; it was so pretty! The theme verse for the brunch was Proverbs 31:10: “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.” Our devotional was given by four ladies who each read several verses from Proverbs 31 and then gave a five minute comment on their verses. The ladies were (in order of speaking): Becky Cox, Valerie Hatcher, Cindy Lucas, and Jennifer Estabrook. The ladies gave wonderful insights into the passage and challenges for each of us to be the type of lady/girl that God wants us to be. The Gospel was also given clearly as we remembered the great love of God the Father in sending His only Son, the Lord Jesus, to die on the cross and take the penalty for each of our sins. He suffered so much for us, and He is alive today! If we trust in Him as our personal Savior, He will wash our sins away, and we can have eternal life and the power to live a godly life in which we seek to point others to Christ for their salvation! Our next ladies’ activity will be the Dove Fellowship on Saturday, June 5th. Watch the bulletin for details, and make plans to come!
