Hi ladies,

I was glad to see 19 more of you join us this week for our Fall session.  We are off to a great start!

Lisa Godwin led us this week talking about Real, Rocky, and Resistant Relationships.  We began our time together shouting out characteristics of a good relationship and we ended our time in Small Groups discussing questions related to How We Treat Jesus.  In our daily lives we spend a lot of time making sure those important to us know that we love them.  Does God feel loved by you?  I hope you continue to ponder this question and the others that Lisa presented for our thought and discussion.      

If you missed Lisa’s lesson, her summary is on the website and I encourage you to read what she has prepared.  As a reminder, Lesson Summaries provided by the Lesson Leader are located on the Lesson Summary page of our website. 

This week we have a special guest speaker.  For privacy and security reasons, I will refer to her as AR.  If you were with us this week you heard me talk about who she is and why I am excited to have her join us.  Curious…review her bio under our member highlight section.  And no, that is not a picture of AR (ha-ha) …. but, one she has taken while serving Jesus.   

AR will tell us that from Genesis to Revelation; we see God’s heart for the nations.  He has always sought to make His name known amongst all peoples of the Earth, and He is continuing to do so today through the lives of ordinary Christians who are willing to say yes to joining Him in this mission.  I will say AR is far from ordinary.  Come hear this extraordinary young lady educate us on the reality of how many people have never heard the name of Jesus, tell us about her past experiences of serving Jesus, and what’s next for her.

She will allow time for Q&A time.  And, AR would like for you to think about the below questions that you will be discussing in your small groups after her presentation.

·      How does seeing God’s heart for all people affect the way we read Scripture?

·      What has your understanding of/experience with missions looked like so far in your life?

·      AR will review 5 ways to become involved in missions.  Which one resonates most with you?

As I mentioned while we were together this week, I selected this coming week’s Fruit of the Spirit Bible verse to memorize based on AR being with us.  She is a beautiful and strong example of Faithfulness.  

So, this week’s bible verse to memorize is Proverbs 3:3 “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.”     

See you on Thursday!

Until then,

Cindy 🙏🏻💕
