July's Newsletter

Hello Friends,

I miss seeing so many of you weekly. Here is the latest news for you to enjoy. Much of it has been in the Protestant News….some has not.

BETH MOORE IS COMING!
Heights Baptist Church is hosting a Simulcast of Living Proof Live from Kentucky. The event will be on 1 – 2 August. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased by calling either Linda or Lori at 224-8222. More info is available here Or on the PWOC blog.

If you would like to attend with any others going from PWOC, email me and I’ll try to connect you. If you need a ride, email.

PROJECT NIGHTS
We will NOT be having project night this Friday. I will be out of town and Debbie is ill (prayers appreciated). We will not have project night in August – but will resume in September.

FAREWELL GIFTS/ASSEMBLY NIGHT
Ladies, if you have a recipe to include for the farewell gift we are making for members would you please email those to me at gafbpwocpres@yahoo.com You may also give hard copies of your recipes to Vera at the 10:00 service.

We will meet on Friday, 25 July at 5 p.m. to assemble the gifts. We will provide a quick dinner.

If you have 6 x 6 page protectors (with a hole for a ring), stickers, cardstock, stamps, scrapbooking paper etc that you’d like to donate for use in assembling the gifts….bring them that night. If you plan on donating page protectors please let De’Etta know so that she doesn’t purchase more than we need. Watch the Protestant News for more details…or for latest breaking news check out the PWOC blog.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE – Grapevine, TX
13 – 16 November. We will be taking a group. Here’s a link for more info. http://www.pwoconline.org/ConferencesTraining/FF/FFHome.html I also hope to get a little promotional clip up on the PWOC blog before I leave for the weekend. It’s not too early to begin saving time and pennies.

Central Region Website
Some of you know that I’ve been designated the Central Region Web Weaver. What this means is that I channel info from all the installations in our region to the International website. The website is in a state of flux…if you go here and click on “recent events” or “sharing in the heartland” you’ll see slide shows and photos from recent events around the region….and um…since I AM the central web weaver you will find Goodfellow featured quite prominently. I’ll be making contacts at Leadership Weekend this weekend and hope to have more installations represented soon. The photos of Rachel with her pink princess cowboy hat would be so COOL….but I won’t post them to the website or blog without your approval, dear Rachel.

PWOC BLOG?
Glad you asked. This has been in the works for a long time. I was given approval and set up a Goodfellow PWOC blog yesterday.Check it out. Feel free to email me with ideas, questions etc. If news pops up (like the Beth Moore thing) it will STILL be in the Protestant News, it will still be in the newsletter but it may be on the blog first. LOL The blog will have our newsletters, photos of events, devotionals, info about future events…. Visit it, comment, check it out – you’ll be pleased…I think. The internet appeals to the younger generation as a way of gathering info. I hope that this will also be a way that ladies moving here will find out about us before they arrive. I JUST began adding things yesterday – so check back often. Soon, I’ll have photos and a blurb about our trip to Fredericksburg on the blog. If you want a table of contents – check the right column where you’ll see “our pages”….click on past events or whatever you are looking for. LOL

I would love to have you share YOUR favorite PWOC Memory, a devotional, a tip or recipe.....contact me at gafbpwocpres@yahoo.com if you would like to submit blog entries.

Enjoy the “lazy days of summer”. I look forward to visiting with you this summer and joining up again for Bible Study in the fall. BTW, our study books for next year are trickling in. Debbie has some great plans for events…..it promises to be a fun year at PWOC.

Choosing Joy,

PROJECT NIGHT
Our next project night is 13 June, THIS Friday. Any project can be the right one. You may choose to read, visit, work on photos, make lesson plans, quilt….one brave soul even made aprons. You bring your supplies and a munchie to share. We will supply a dinner entrée. Doors of the Fellowship Hall open at 1700 and will close by mid-night. Come for the whole night or just an hour or two. RSVP for a dinner count by 10 June to De’Etta .

FREDERICKSBURG
PWOC goes on the road 21 June. We will leave the chapel parking lot at 0800 for this day trip and return that evening. The purpose of our trip is to have fun and explore more Texan history and habitat. Transportation is on us; lunch is dutch treat. RSVP by 16 June to Debbie Harding.

LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTORS
We are in the process of compiling a keepsake to be given to PWOC members as they say farewell. We’d love to have your favorite recipes. Care to share? Email or give them to De’Etta or Vera. Our August project night will be devoted to compiling these keepsakes.

THANKS TO THE HOSTESS’ WITH THE MOSTEST!
Thanks to Vera and Debbie for hosting our recent tea. We appreciate you ladies. Everything was lovely.

Thanks also for my lovely mesquite crosses….they are beautiful and I’ll think of this group whenever I look at them. Totally unexpected! Y’all rock!

I think that’s all the “news” for June. Don’t forget to save and/or print the attached directory (alphabetized by first name). Let’s use it to keep in touch over the summer. Following is a devotional for the month.
