"Be
strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the
Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
Joshua 1:9

WOW!
What an amazing day we had. As the sun casted a brilliant warmth outside, we
gathered together and opened our souls to the spirit. It was a day that
reaffirmed God's unwavering love for us.
We
have pictures, recipes, service project updates, and as many class handouts as
we could get our hands on below.
Enjoy!

sisters in attendance: 175

CareNet Service
Project
Our
service project benefited the Care Net
Pregnancy & Family Services of Puget Sound;
located in Puyallup! Care Net offers pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STD
screening, parenting classes, baby/toddler supplies, and pregnancy loss support
groups; completely free and confidential. They hope to strengthen lives
through Biblical truth, sexual integrity, and support for non-abortion
options.
To help
Care Net provide to those they support, we collected new, very gently used, and handmade items during our Woman's Conference.
Here are just a few grand totals. The ladies at
CareNet were speechless as the items were dropped off.

I wish
I could have taken pictures of every single handmade item. Each was beautiful
and deserved to be shown. For some reason, I didn't get any pictures of the 48
handmade burp cloths; sorry sisters.

has NEVER had flower clips and headbands. They were
ecstatic
to say the least.
