We are thankful for God's Provisions!

Fall is a wonderful time. Delectable smells, warm fires, hot apple cider, and a season to remember how thankful we are for everything God provided through the last year. How do we not forget God's provisions? Pay attention to the details! Write down the details throughout the year and keep them in a jar. During this season, pull them out and remember God's provision from the past year.

Don't forget! 2010 Women's Retreat is coming up! March 5-7. Agate Beach Inn.

Recipe for Change. Change your thinking, change your life!

What a wonderful time of Worship! Thank you to the team that leads us each month!

A prayer of Thanksgiving.

October's Ladies' Night Out.

What a wonderful evening this was..... from the very cute decorations, which in reality, turned out to be many "Beavers" vs "Ducks" tables...

to excersizing with Francel, and we didn't even break a sweat!.....

we heard wonderful testimonies of God's faithfulness throughout the evening during "Conversations with Angie". First up was Andrea Pruett's testimony of God's faithfulness in her life....

we enjoyed sweet snacks and even sweeter conversations with friends old and new.....

there were opportunites for us to recall God's faithfulness in our own lives.....

to be shared at next month's Ladies' Night Out....come back, you won't want to miss it!.....

there were more "Converstations with Angie". Beth Bartruff shared of God's faithfulness through health issues, job changes and changes in life's expectations...

and finally the evening wrapped up with a great worship time with our sisters in Christ, praising our Great God for His faithfulness to us.

God Is Faithful, We CAN Praise Him!!!!
