Ladies' Christmas Party 2016

We had a Christmas party for the ladies at the church on Friday, December 2, 2016. Kathi Banholzer (with the help of Becky Cox) decorated the fellowship hall with cardinals and poinsettias. It was lovely. 

A good number of ladies attended. We had a great time of fellowship and shared snacks together. Kristi Parker gave a wonderful, heartfelt devotional about prayer. She opened with Jeremiah 29:13-14 and encouraged us to continue seeking the Lord in prayer, even though we have obstacles that may come up when we schedule personal times of prayer. She encouraged us to pray in faith and to pray in God's will. She reminded us that prayer is such a privilege for us believers in Christ. She also encouraged us to pray throughout the day even as we do our daily tasks. She reminded us that we would never regret time that we have invested in prayer. 

Following the devotional, Becky Cox explained a new program for ladies in the coming year. Ladies will reach out to one another and seek to be a blessing: texting, calling, getting together regularly, and generally showing Christian love to each other, bearing one another's burdens and sharing each other's joys. 

We ended the evening exchanging gifts and revealing who the secret pals were for this past year. The ladies also gave a nice gift to Becky Cox, thanking her for coordinating the Secret Pal ministry again this year.

Be sure to look on the church web site calendar to see the four dates for the Dove Fellowships in 2017 and speak to Janice MacAvoy if you would like to be a hostess for one of them.
