One-Day Spiritual Refreshment
For Women – At Our Church
Saturday, January 30
After arriving at church a bit early on Saturday morning – with camera in hand – I decided to go behind the scenes and see what was going on in the fellowship hall and kitchen.

My sister-in-law Brenda was in charge of preparing lunch for two-hundred women.
She and Janessa were working on meal preparations.
Jennifer was filling a coffee carafe for the registration area in the narthex.
I was hoping to get a good photo of my friend (and speaker for the day) Bernice, and was delighted that she was in the fellowship hall checking on her book table.
She authored a book, Hospitality from A to Z, which is a delightful series of stories on how she learned hospitality at home – and used that training to begin a bed and breakfast with her husband, Glenn. She also included some of her favorite recipes.
She and Glenn blessed each of us with the gift of a book on this special day of refreshment.
There were snowmen everywhere – on windows, tables, and even in the bathrooms.
After walking the hallway that surrounds the sanctuary, I came to the narthex which was full of women who were registering, visiting, and enjoying refreshments.
This was already looking like the beginning of a delightful day for many ladies from our church and neighborhood – even some from a distance.
