Bunko!

Last week, the Girlfriends in Tuesday night's Choose Joy! study got together to enjoy some fun time together.  We played a few rounds of Bunko.

It was a great time to catch up and chat, not to mention an opportunity to win!

The grand prize was a free ticket to the Women of Faith Conference in September...what a great prize!

Three ladies tied for the big prize and so the night ended in a "roll off!"  

After several rolls, Jenna Fisher won the grand prize!

It was a great night to share with the Girlfriends!

Testimony from Sharon Thompson

Hi Girlfriends,

What has Girlfriends' Bible Study come to mean to me?  Words cannot explain it - only my heart and mind can.  Our first summer session we met at Bruxie as a group to have dinner before going to the church.  Judy lead us in a thrilling lesson and discussion on Joseph, one of my favorite Old Testament people.  As we dissected the scriptures I saw Joseph in a more indepth way than ever before.  It helped that I had seen "Joseph" at Sight and Sound Theater last year and was awestruck by the story then and details I had not remembered.  When I learned about Joseph as a child we had flannel-boards to illustrate - it was never really indepth.  But, then again, at that age I possibly would not have comprehended the deeper details of Jacob's family.  I don't recall over the years ever studying Joseph and Jacob's family so thorooughly. 

Monday evening we met at the Food Court by Lowe's for our meal.  Rita's lesson was on the Woman at the Well from John 4.  WOW!  Did we ever dissect this story of Jesus' love and patience as well as her life.  The discussion was lively and I will never see this woman or myself the same again.  Looking at each verse, or part of a verse, enabled me to see exactly how Jesus was encouraging this woman to see herself, confess her sin and accept that He was the Messiah.  Can't even put it in words but since then I keep going back to the woman running to tell the people about her experience, and how Jesus knew everything about her!  He loves and cares for me the very same.  Amazing Grace truly is amazing! 

Our "summer group" is smaller and we fit into one of the small classrooms which is a more intimate setting.  If any woman asks about an evening Bible Study with ladies who study deep in the Word, like to dine together and have fun at the same time send her to Judy and Rita's group!  I'm so very glad we decided to meet through the summer - can't imagine going 3 months without this wonderful group of ladies and all that we learn!  Sometimes I feel like a child all over again.  What a blessing.  Sorry to get carried away but my heart is so full! Thanks, Foothills Church.

Hugs,
Sharon

Women's at Home Retreat: Video

Last month we enjoyed a lovely home retreat.  It was wonderful to spend time together and to hear encouragement from women in our church.  We were reminded of the lavish love that the Lord has poured out upon us. 

The following video recaps the weekend's events.  Enjoy!
