Sparkle, warmth, joy, fellowship, and Christmas in the air—

all ladies over 18 are invited to a special evening of Stories of Christmas

Sunday night, December 5th at 6:00 in the Father’s House family room.

A soup bar, bread, and cheese cakes are on the menu,

and we encourage you to invite your girl friends who might need to hear

the story of Christmas in a unique environment of women

who know the author of The Story.

The cost is free, but we do need you to sign up in the foyer during November

so we know how much delicious food to prepare.

(Non-mobile babies are welcome too!)

You didn’t think we were just going to let a 4th of July Sunday slip by unnoticed, did you? Here’s the scoop.

When: Sunday, July 4th from 10:00 to 3:00 on the front lawn of Father’s House.

Bring: Wear your shorts & bring your friends, your own lawn chairs or picnic blanket, a picnic lunch, a dessert to share, shade cover if you have one, items you might need for our Kid’s Parade of Colors. (In addition to bringing a dessert to share, consider entering it in our dessert contest.)

Highlights: An awesome outdoor Sunday service, Kid’s Parade of Colors, Quilt raffle, a dessert contest, jump house, cotton candy, Patriotic photo booth, crazy games, races, a huge tug-of-war, watermelon eating contest, prize ribbons, and other activities that we can’t tell you about!

Because this event is a fund raiser for our fall Ladies Retreat, there will be a charge for a few things like cotton candy and the photo booth. So bring a few dollars to contribute to a worthy cause..

Note: If you would like to be one of the judges for the dessert contest, the cost is $5.00 and only 5 judges are needed. If your judge’s mouth is watering, see Diane Hallquist for details on how you can have a taste of each of our contest entries.

Everything I Needed To Know About Friendships, I learned From Jigsaw Puzzle

Tags

friends, friendship, fun, girlfriends

1. Don’t force a fit. If something is meant to be, it will come together naturally.
2. When things aren’t going so well, take a break. Everything will look different when you return.
3. Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces only leads to frustration.
4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece by piece.
5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back later (see #4).
6. The Creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook.
7. Variety is the spice of life. It’s the different colors and patterns that make the puzzle interesting.
8. Working together with friends and family makes any task fun.
9. Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and order.
10. Don’t be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are surprising.
11. Take time often to celebrate your successes-even little ones.
12. Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can’t be rushed.
