Let me apologize for the long delay between blogs, we have been very busy over the Christmas period and the beginning of the year. I hope to be more prompt in writing in the future
GRAZETTES RETREAT
The Grazettes congregation had their annual retreat on January 21 which is a holiday here. The theme was “How Hungry are You” and we focused on “Hungering and thirsting after righteousness. We had 25 out and the workshops were well received and the food was good as usual. We also use these retreats to plan strategy and share ideas for the uplifting of the congregation.
5OTH ANNIVERSARY
We have been quite busy because two of our groups will be celebrating 50th anniversaries this year. The Churches of Christ Camp here already kicked off their activities since October last year but Six Roads have now been busy getting ahead on planning.
The Camp Theme for the year is “50 Years – Molding Youth for Christ” and they had so far an opening Activity when we were away on furlough and then two fund raising activities in the form of a Movie Night and a Garden Party and Chinese Auction. These were not as well attended as we would like but we are hoping for better.
Activities coming up are:
Pizza Sale - April 16
Camp Rally and Preregistration – June 11
Week of Activities – July 17-23. This week will start with a Church Service and culminate with a Camp Banquet and Awards Dinner.
Six Roads theme for the year is “Celebrating our Jubilee in Christ” and here are the activities planned so far:
Old Time Harvest Thanksgiving Program – March 20 at 4.00 p.m.
Fundraising Pizza Sale – March 26
Family Month emphasis especially on Family Day May 29
Week of Activities – September 25-October 1. This also climaxes with an Awards Banquet on October 1. During the week we will have a series of historical presentations.
GIRLS TO WOMEN HOSTS TEA PARTY
The young ladies in the congregation who meet each Monday night as the Girls to Women Christian Club decided on their own to revive the Tea Party which was formerly put on by the Women’s Fellowship. The date chosen was February 26 and from the look of it they did a good job. They had over 100 out for the event and they had well rendered specials and a well-received skit. The food was also good.
Wendy is the main sponsor of this group and they do things that are interesting to girls and encourage the girls in Christian deportment and memorization of scripture.
