Holiday Break

I am guessing that your busy fall season of women’s ministry events is coming to a close, as mine is. Our fall women’s Bible study is ending for the year (to resume in January with a new study). Our women’s missions Christmas project, purchasing gifts for the staff at an orphanage in Mexico (our church adopts the kids at Christmas) in complete and in Christmas bags, waiting for delivery by a missions team over the holidays. This coming weekend we will have our annual women’s retreat, the culmination of months of prayer, planning and work.  And then we have one last event for the year–our women’s Christmas dinner.  We do our Christmas event at the beginning of December (this year it is actually on December 1st!), so that our ladies can start this busy season of shopping, entertaining, family and (possibly) stress by considering the “reason for the season” first.

Our women’s leaders will meet one last time for 2014 in December for dinner, gifts and just reviewing what God has done in 2014.  We’ll be gearing up for 2015 in January.

This blog will also take a short break for the holidays in order to gear up for the new year and what God has in store for Retreat-in-a-Bag in 2015.  We recently passed a milestone:  600 subscribers! My prayer is that the skits we offer, the graphics and the quiet time resources have somehow blessed your ministry.  Thanks for your support.  Have a wonderful, and Christ-centered Thanksgiving and Christmas!  See you in 2015.
