"The Ladies Tea"
Hosted by "Judson's -  Women on Mission"

This Saturday - - April 6 - Judson's Fellowship Hall

But - first - - we must begin early in advance to Prepare
Friday evening - we will 'set-up' and return early Saturday morning to 'prepare'

I do not like tea  -  and  - I could have worked the Election on this date - - but I chose to take part in this special fellowship.

But preparations began much earlier than today (Friday) - - -Somehow (to my amazement) I was drafted to be part of the "Door Prizes - Committee"  - It's amazing how the LORD will always give you a place to serve Him.   I have enjoyed serving on this Committee - -

Here are a few of the items donated:
 - Several Gift Baskets from "Bed - Bath - Beyond" - (eight actually !)
 - Several cook books - from our own local Chef - Holly Clegg
 -The  Pampered Chef - Cook book - - actually entitled "Inspirations".  (How Appropriate!)
- Several Devotional Books by our favorite authors:
                          -Kay Arthur - Charles Stanley - Stephen Lang
-  Even several hand-painted - oval-shaped - Porcelain Eggs - painted by ladies in Zimbabwe -
-  Two (2) unique - beautiful Tote-Bags
-  A beautiful hand-woven basket from the ladies in Zimbabwe

A big thank-you to Geraldine for donating individual coin purses for each lady in attendance.  These are really colorful and lovely.

Wmen on Mission is the name for "WMU" - - I understand why my grandma enjoyed being a part of "WMU" back in the early days.   She instilled many memories in my heart - - as she took my sister and I to her many "WMU" meetings and activities.  There are so many mission opportunites just waiting for us to encounter!

Meet & Greet - New Missionary Family
Then- on Sunday evening - our Women on Mission will host a Meet & Greet for a special Missionary Family  - - who is currently staying in our Church Mission House.  We will host a "Pounding" (of food pantry items) and become acquainted with this special family.  This is a very special missionary family - - as their names are not announced - as to protect their identity in the remote place in which they are currently serving as missionaries.    They are on furlough for several months.
