Girls Gone Wise - Breakaway 2012

We had a great weekend at the 2012 "Girls Gone Wise" Breakaway 2012!  There were many surprises...thanks to Chelle Holland!  The women got to relax a little, laugh a lot and meet new friends. Our main passage of scripture was Ephesians 5:15 "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise (wild) but as wise".  During one of the sessions, a panel of 4 women spoke about their struggles, and how they have become now wiser because of them.  Other sessions included a video from Priscilla Shiere on falling into "holes" and how best to avoid that and our last session involved a video from Andy Stanley where he talked about "The Best Question Ever".  No doubt..this was our best retreat ever!

Brave: Honest Questions Women Ask – led by Judy Baier – (Judy Baier’s Home) – Cost $ 12.00

This Angela Thomas Bible study for women looks at the heart of what women are thinking and feeling. Angela speaks to participants about deep feelings that all women have at one time or another. She looks boldly at some of the fears and struggles of being a woman, and she helps us see how we can be brave in the face of those challenges.

It takes a brave woman to ask these questions and dig into these topics alongside other believers. We've all got insecurities, flaws, and struggles that we are afraid to address. But if we can be brave enough to raise the questions, God will answer us. You've got questions. God has answers. Be brave. Ask.

The Virtuous Woman – taught by Leslie Taylor (Leslie Taylor’s Home) Cost - $10.00

Does the woman in Proverbs 31 make you feel like a sluggard? For years Christian women have struggled to understand what the Proverbs 31 woman was all about. Is the Proverbs 31 woman an outdated fixture of the past? Vicky Courtney believes that this passage is not in the Bible by accident and that a virtuous woman is a rare find in today’s world.

Coffee Connect: June 17, 2011

Friday night, June 17, 2011 was a great night! I appreciate all the ladies who cleaned their homes, prepared desserts and coffee, sent out e-mails and made phone calls for Coffee Connect! YOU ARE THE BEST!

My evening went great and I heard from a few others ladies that they really enjoyed the evening and the opportunity to get to know other ladies from Antioch.

Saturday I talked with a lady who attended who said, "I kept thinking, okay what is the agenda? Then I realized there is know agenda! The agenda is to sit and talk with the other ladies"!

We hope to plan another Coffee Connect in the fall so keep your eyes and ears tuned to the announcements, bulletins, web site and blog!
