January Meeting - A s-no-w Go

The snow we got on January 20, 2011 resulted in a cancellation for the January meeting.  Sorry! 

Here is a little glimpse of what would have been:

All the food would have started with the letter "J".  In honor of our church's  "We would see J E S U S" theme for the year, we are doing an acrostic for"  "JESUS" with the food each time.  I think there was going to be Jan's Jam Crackers or Carmelita's Jam Biscuits.  Sarah Morrison was planning on cooking us up some  Jumbilia, (spelling?).  That would have warmed us up, wouldn't it!,  Chrissy Watts was going to surprise us with something that starts with a "J"!  Michelle Minor was going to bring her juicer and we were going to try our hand at juicing some fresh fruits and vegetables!  Yes some fresh carrot juice! YUM!   It was going to be jummy,  I mean yummy!!!!!!

Then, we would have had an awesome ice breaker.  They're always good in January!

Sarah Morrison didn't know it, but I was going to ask her to do a devo on the mothers in the Bible that she has been studying about. 

We would have gone over the year's plans for the church events and the whos, whats, whens and wheres of  them all.  We still get to do this, ladies, I just don't know exactly when, but sometime soon, the Lord willing.  We haveta!

We would have sung some beautiful songs, had  a sweet time of praising and thanking the Lord for His blessings, as well as sharing our burdens with each other. 

A door prize would have been given.  It might have been more like a "white elephant" gift (oh that's not nice to say to ladies in January, is it?!), but non the less, a door prize.

We would have had a wonderful time of fellowship!  

There would have been great childcare for those with small kiddos. YAY!

We sometimes have a surprise or two at our meetings, so I guess we will just have to keep guessing what or who that might have been! 

So, I guess we will have to wait for March now.  Then all the food will begin with the letter "e"!  If anyone has any suggestions what food can be used with the letter "u", please let me know before, uh, July or September!

Wow!  This sounds like so much fun, we may have to see if we can work a re-schedule into the calendar for next week!

I just want to let all of you ladies know how much I appreciate you!  You are such a blessing!  Looking forward to the next meeting......whenever that may be....here or, seeing JESUS for real in the air.

Love, in Christ,
Your Sister In Service,  Gail

  2. Oh, I guess I didn't explain that. We only have the meeting every other month. So there is not one scheduled for February. We will probably just have a meeting after church service soon and finish up the plans. Most of them are made. Just need some "tweaking"!
