PURIIY BANQUET 2009

On Feb. 20, we had our third annual Purity Banquet for the teens and their parents. It is always such a wonderful, sweet time. This year was no different. The "S.I.S." ladies in charge of the banquet were Teresa Littrell, Trista Sharpeta, Shawna Noble, and Judy Johnson. They did such a terrific job!

The all white decorating scheme was so beautiful with the soft glow of the candles and the white strung lights reflecting off the silver cande sticks. The peaceful music playing beautifully and the wonderful food (catered by Fazolis) was just superb! It makes me want to have a dinner like that every Sat. night! (By the way I'm glad Preacher and I get to come to this!)

We do have such a good group of teens. We are so glad to be able to do this special dinnner once a year for them. Thanks Bro. Tim and Mrs. Sarah for doing such a good job with the teens.

A special thanks goes to The Sisters in Service ladies for all their hard work! Thanks Ladies!

Purely Beautiful!

Teresa, Trista, Shawna, Judy

Our menu was roast beef and gravy, creamed potatoes, green beans, rolls, salad, cheese cake, chocolate strawberries, tea and coffee. Al this for the low cost of $10.00 per couple (thanks to Marsha). Sweeeeet!!!!!

Pastor Moore, our speaker, brought a wonderful devotion and he and Gail sang "I'll Be Yours Forever". Sweeeeet!!!!!





The games were a hoot! The conversations hearts was a terriffic idea. We laughed so hard especially at the McCrackens, who won the poem reading of "How Do I Love Thee?" It was Scott's illustration of how he would carry Caron over the threshold that won them the prize!!!! Sweeeeet!!!!!!

EVERTIE MOORE DAY FEB 8, 2009

The first event of the year that was planned and carried out with our "SIS" was "Evertie Moore Day". Sandi Jarros did a wonderful job, especially of keeping it a surprise for "Papa" as he (Evertie) is affecionately called by everyone. He had no idea. It was a wonderful day. Many of his family members was here, and he was honoured by so many wonderful things being said of him and by two or three special presentaions. The pot luck meal went off great and Sandy did a beautiful cake rendition of a mountain scene. The theme of the day was "I Want That Mountain". From the first idea of who to direct this event, Sandi Jaros was the one. Thanks so much Sandi!!!

FUN FONDUE FELLOWSHIP- January S.I.S. Meeting

We had such a great time at our January meeting. In spite of sub-zero temps, we had a good number of ladies out, and everyone seemed to enjoy it so much.

We had so much food for "fondue-ing" and it was really fun!

We had several activities in which, of course, we found ourselves both laughing and crying. The most wonderful time was when different ladies gave testimony concerning their Bible reading and devotion time. Several are reading the Bible through this year, and are getting so much out of it. We had several to tell us how the Lord had blessed them and the things He has shown them from His Word. It was such a blessing!

Welcome "first-timers", Shelly Black, Betty David and Martha Owens!

Check in for info on "More Life in March" meeting. You won't want to miss this one!

About S.I.S.

SISTERS IN SERVICE - (S.I.S.) A LADIES MINISTRY OF TABERANCLE BAPTIST CHURCH

Sisters -In-Service is the ladies' ministry of Tabernacle Baptisit Church of Nicholasville, KY. Truly we are "sisters" in the Lord. We have been saved and have become part of the family of God and therefore, we are sisters. Because most of the food events as well as some other events are planned, organized and overseen by this ladies' ministry, we call ourselves "Sisters-In-Service. The ladies are so eager to help in anyway they can and do such a wonderful job. It is such a blessing to the pastor and his wife. The ladies enjoy being with each ofter and fellow-shipping as well as serving together in different areas of the chruch.


Good Bye For Now Phebe:
For the past several year we have used the Phebe Fellowship material created by Pastor Tommy Sexton. It is a wonderful program and we have enjoyed it thoroughly. I would highly recommend it to any local church women's ministry. It is great for teaching women their place in the local church. We probably will use this material again, and may even be called the "Phebe Fellowship" sometimes, but we are going to change things up somewhat in our ladies fellowships at Tabernacle this year, at least.
