It has been strange not having our weekly meetings. I see some of you on Sunday at church and want to know how you are and wish we could spend more time with each other. I've missed you! But, the break in meetings was a good time for assessing this ministry and deciding what is the best way to proceed. I think we have our answer.
We are going to pick up our meetings on January 17th. That is a Sunday! Yes, we have gotten this idea from a couple of our members and we agree, meeting on Sunday mornings before the Cross Creek Church service makes good sense. We will meet at 9:30am and we will gather in the "Cry Room" at the back of the Auditorium. (Go ahead and insert your own joke here.)
I'm hoping that this change in meeting day and time will make us more visible to women in our church who would like to try out our group but who find coming out on a Saturday too time expensive in an already packed full life. I also see great benefit for the young children of some of our members. Your children will have great biblical instruction and be able to make friends while Mom is meeting with the Lydia ladies.
Our time will be a little shorter - one hour as opposed to the one and a half hours we used to have. But I think this will be an adjustment that we can make. We will still plan on once a month outings, either for drinks and appetizers, lunch on a Saturday, a movie...or make a suggestion.
Our first week together will be a time to regroup, catch up with one another and welcome any new visitors to the group who may join us. Please bring a friend, and ask her to stay for church!
Sunday -- January 17th -- Cross Creek Church -- 9:30am -- Cry Room (that will be ironic to me for a long time) See you there!
