GFNO - Vball Night

2009-09-08T18:06:00.000-07:00

What a great night!
We had a great turnout of all ages.
We played volleyball at the beginning (and there would have been more after if it hadn't gotten dark so fast). Next year we will have to stat earlier!
Then, of course, we ATE!We also sat around the fire and cooked s'mores.Don't miss the next GFNO!!
It's coming up Sept. 11.

We are going to spend time praying for our country, our church, and our personal lives.
We are encouraging you to spend the day fasting and then come to GFNO to pray.
(The fasting is just a suggestion, not a requirement to participate)

A Spring Fling

2009-06-18T11:45:00.001-07:00

Just in case you missed "A Spring Fling" here's the recap:
One of the guest speakers of the morning.
Her topic was: God's healing grace in my marriage.

The men graciously served us so that ALL the women could sit and enjoy themselves.
The men did a FABULOUS job!

Recognizing the women's committee board.The Japanese choir:
We had an amazing testimony for a missionary as one of our guest speakers.
She was very good.
There was another speaker at the beginning of the program.
I was not able to take pictures because of camera issues (which later got fixed).
But her testimony was on adoption as well as being adopted into God's family.
I think everyone left really touched by something they heard.

Prep for That Sping Thing

It take a lot of work to put on a banquet.
But we have FUN doing it!
Here's a behind the scenes glimpse...
Occasionally we need to talk things out...
Folding...Decorating...They turned out beautiful!FOOD FOOD & FOOD!And the most important part of every event... PRAYER!

GFNO - Tamale Night

2009-05-09T14:58:00.001-07:00

We had a great turnout for our Girlfriends Night Out!
There were around 55 women.
We had a special guest to teach us how to cook Enchiladas and Tamales. (which were very yummy!)
While we were waiting for the enchiladas and tamales to cook we heard a fantastic personal story on adoption and foster care. (and of course snacked on guacamole, salsa, and chips!)

Our challenge:
Is there someone you can reach out to?
It doesn't have to be foster care.
Is there someone that just needs encouragement and someone to look up to?
When you open up your home, you open up your heart.

Don't miss the next Women's Event June 6th!!

GFNO - Fondue Night

2009-02-28T08:35:00.000-08:00

February 13th we had a Girlfriends Night Out at church. Our theme was Fondue! Look at ALL the food there was. There was a chocolate fondue and a cheese fondue at every table. We had 4 PACKED tables of food (and women!) It was a great turnout with lots of laughter and fun.
Our special guest speaker did a fantastic job reminding us about God's love for us and the forgiveness He offers us.If you weren't able to join us for this fun time, don't miss out again.
Our next GFNO is May 8th. 7:00 @ church. Babysitting is always provided.

Women's Retreat in 2007

2009-02-21T08:44:00.000-08:00

We had around 20 women spend the weekend at a retreat center. We had a great speaker, great music, great food and great fellowship. These pictures are of the ladies taking time to do a service project tearing sheets that get sent to a hospital.The ladies also came up with the great idea to make cards and then sell them so we could raise money to send the supplies to the hospital.I think the cards were inspired by the great company we were all in.And there was time for FUN!
