Time for Some Updates

It has been a while since I have updated our pages so here are a few details and some information as you plan your year of JOY !

We just had our February gathering... about 45 ladies came out to hear Helena Rutan. Helena has had some very trying times in her life and she shared with us her priciples of success as she walks with the Lord. Also how she keeps her joy in the midst of challenges. We had quite a few of our old members come out for the fellowship. It was heart warming to be all together again.

Our next regular meeting is March 31st 5-7. Our message will be " The Power of Love". I hope you can join us. Bring your own pretty tea cup and a goodie to share. We will provide the beverages... we also have teacups if you forget yours. Invite a friend. Look for someone who needs some new girlfriends and bring them along. You will be investing into their lives as you introduce them to new friends who will uplift them and support them.

Below you will find some dates for events for our 2013 gatherings. I hope you will mark your calendars and try to be a part of the ever growing JOY !

March meeting will be held on Palm Sunday which is March 24th... We normally meet on the 4th sunday but that will be Easter.
Our message that night is " The Power of Love".  Come join us and bring a friend.

April 28th    Spring Fling... wear you flip flops and pearls, we will have a spring theme for our decor and our message...

May     Watch your boxes and the bulletin for date and time of our annual event at Time Well Spent tea room in Summerville.

More events to come...watch your blog !

Come Out of Your Shell Retreat 2012

It is almost time for our retreat. It is hard to believe this year has flown by so quickly. This year our retreat will take place October26-28. It will be held at The Lutheran Retreat Center on Isle of Palms. We loved that facility last year and even though our beloved Herb has retired, I am in hopes that the new director will be just as wonderful.
Space is limited so get your deposit in to hold your spot. We will be looking at ways to enlarge our lives and open ourselves up to more of Jesus. 
You will find a flyer in your box at church with details and you should have received an email from the church . If you did not get the email... please contact Kathy Martore at the church office and  give her your email address. The church number is 8437663113.
Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. Our next regular meeting is the 4th sunday in August. Bring a goodie to share and come fellowship with us. 
Call me with questions or if you want more information about JOY FELLOWSHIP or the retreat.

Welcome 2012

Happy New Year to all of you special ladies of Calvary. Our Christmas gathering at the home of Charlene Alford was a wonderful evening of fun. Thank you all for coming and bringing such beautifully wrapped gifts for the exchange. I love a beautiful present !!!! congratulations Sue Grant for winning the gift wrap contest.. your package was beautiful. You racked up with a door prize, a prize for the gift wrap and your auction gift.
We crowned Alice Schultz with a beautiful hand made crown ( thank you Lisa White) as she was dubbed Queen Grinch. Alice has no sympathy or mercy in the gift exchange.
Charlene, your house was filled with beautiful Christmas decorations and felt so comfy cozy and festive. Thank you for all your hard work getting ready for 30 ladies to descend upon you.
The food was so good...all of you brought such wonderful things. I think we could have fed another 30 easily.
Soooo on to 2012. I hope you all will make the effort each month to join us at JOY Fellowship. We meet on the 4th sunday at 5:30 for about 2 hours for fellowship, food and inspirational messages.

About the children...

Hopefully , all of you with children know that we all love children and have no ill intent when we say , no kids at this event. The women's ministry has a goal of allowing the ladies of the church to come together for a time of fellowship and it is a time when all moms need to spend that time with other women and not have the cares of their children for those few hours each month. If your child is 5yrs or older they may enjoy the youth groups that meet during the same time as JOY... Those 5- 6th grade can attend.."Kids for Christ" and those 6th - 12th grade can join our youth group. If your child is younger than 5 ...book a sitter, engage a dad or call me if it is a problem and we will see about a sitter when possible. For those who do not have children and those who do, leaving the children to play elsewhere makes for a real opportunity for everyone to pray together, socialize and get to know each other. Thank you for understanding.
