Ushers for Fathers' Day

The Women of Hope are volunteering to usher at New Hope on Fathers' Day (June 20th)--would you like to join us to show our New Hope men and fathers our appreciation and give them the day off? If we get plenty of volunteers then everyone will only need to work one of the services.

If you would like to help out on Fathers' Day, please contact Wendie Beddingfield at wendie@teuton.org or 469-751-3539.

Bible Study

Hey ladies! We have a sweet dilemma....
the Bible study for Tuesday nights starting June 1 (Return to the Garden) has more people registered than we currently have room for. Is there anyone out there who has a place to hold 15-20 ladies on Tuesday nights (near Wylie) from 7pm to 9pm for six weeks who would be willing to host this Bible study?
Please contact Mendy Payne at mendy.payne@verizon.net

Question for YOU!

We are consistently finding that we still need improvement on communication especially as the Women of Hope begins offering multiple opportunities for fellowship, life skills development and study of God's word.

My question to you, for which I do hope you will comment at the bottom of this post, is what do you find the most effective way you hear/see and remember events or activities that interest you? Or.... what's been the most effective way YOU communicate with others?

Thank you for taking time to read and respond. You ladies are the best!

In Christ,
Wendie

Revealing Beauty Tickets Go On Sale Tomorrow!

To all you special moms out there, I want to wish you an early
Mother's Day! What a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L day it is today!

I also wanted to send you a quick notice that tickets for the
Revealing Beauty Women's Conference & Fashion Show
go on sale tomorrow between first and second service and
after second in the lobby as well as the registration for two
Bible studies that will be held in June.

For those of you who wondering what Revealing Beauty is,
read below:

Revealing Beauty is a one-day women's conference featuring
nationally known author & speaker Shari Braendel from
Proverbs 31 Ministries who will share her expertise as an image
consultant on how to dress in order to reveal our true beauty.
This is a high-energy, fun outreach event for the women of New
Hope and the women in our community.  (Teens are more than
welcome to attend as well.)

There will also be a fashion show after lunch with women of all ages,
shapes and sizes that provides examples of the practical application
as well as lots of fun and excitement and the draw for many women
who would not normally step foot in a church.

Shari speaks to teens and adult women, encouraging them to let
go of secrets that are bound up inside in order for us to be able
to truly shine the light of Christ--sharing that we can look so good
on the outside, but be a complete mess on the inside.  So it's not
all about dressing to look good or feeling all good about ourselves
by covering ourselves well--she weaves the gospel in her
presentation with complete truth in an outreach of compassion.

You do not want to miss out on this fabulous event, and you don't
want to leave your friends out--this is truly the event to invite your
friends to and we promise you won't regret it.  The only thing you
will regret is not inviting your other friends, too!

Many sweet blessings,

Reflection on Movie Night

Last night, the Women of Hope gathered for Movie Night at New Hope in the auditorium to watch "The Blind Side." Many of us came in our pajamas and slippers with our blankies and pillows, turned some chairs around to stretch out and enjoyed a free movie--the only catch was to bring in any amount of non-perishable food for the Bridge food pantry.

The fellowship before and after was great, the generous giving of the ladies was incredible, and the snacks we smuggled in were delicious! If you didn't make it this time, you missed out! I believe this is something we're going to do more often, so keep an eye out for future announcements. Sometimes you just have to get together to have some fun--thanks to all the ladies who came out--it's no fun without you!
