Happy Thanksgiving to my dear friends and sisters in Christ.
When I think of Thanksgiving I am reminded of those who have gone before us and set foundational teachings in place. I am also reminded of the many people me and my family are so grateful for. This Thanksgiving I want each of you to know how grateful I am for YOU! May your day be blessed with many hugs, encouraging words, reminders of what you are thankful for, quiet moments with the Lord and some yummy turkey and dressing to boot. Thank you for an incredible celebration time last Friday night. It was a special evening for all and the Holy Spirit was more than present and moving. Praises to our heavenly father for his faithfulness.

Love to all~

Good evening sisters~

Tonight is the night to turn your clocks back one hour----hopefully you'll remember and we will see you at church in the morning:) Enjoy an extra hour 0f rest--thank you Lord!

Continuing to sing praises and celebrate God's movement in the lives of the women in your small groups. I received a giggly phone call Thursday night from a DL who wanted to share a baptism announcement from a gal in their group as well as the gals daughter. Incredible/exciting news. Also continue to hear great things about your desert days and the group dynamics. All of this should make for a wonderful celebration on November 18th. Continue praying over that night with your ladies --that they will share if the Holy Spirit speaks. This next week is a great time to give thanks together as a small group for all of the God stories that have been collected over the 12 week period. Practicing speaking those words of adoration, and thankfulness out loud are acts of worship. Have fun with this and it will in turn help them share on celebration if they feel led.

We have tried really hard to make special efforts to keep your time away from home to a minimum. We know you all have full plates and are serving in lots of different capacities. You do an amazing job honoring your husbands and families and keeping them top priority. Thank you!!!!! Having said that, there is some very important news that we need to share with each one of you. Kevin Russell, (who taught several nights this summer for leadership encouragement) is Oldham's community groups pastor. He would like to speak to us regarding some upcoming events that will begin in February. We want you to be in the know so that you can pray and prepare for whatever the Lord puts on your heart. It has been a really cool thing to watch what the Lord has done over the past two years at Oldham ----we press on with focused eyes waiting for Him to do the extraordinary. Please choose ONE of the 2 nights below (we are expecting for you to make every effort to be present-), come have a cup of coffee and find out ..............

November 15th or 16th 7:30-8:30 -----ONE HOUR ONLY
