TCBC Women Share Food, Fun and Fellowship

Summer is a busy time for all of us. For me, a teacher, I think it was designed to allow me time for rest and relaxation...ha! I think I was born with roller skates on! Seriously! It's hard for me to "slow down". Anyone else like me? It's good to get away for a while, even from the husband and kids, to just spend time with other Christian women. Personally, I'm all about what I call "GNO's"...you know...."Girls Night Out"! The Lord tells us to "Be still and know that HE is God". It's getting to that "be still" part that gets me every time. That opportunity was afforded to us recently at a picnic for the ladies of our church. Ladies were invited to come alone or to bring the kids along and let them play with children of other ladies. The food was no problem as the ladies each brought in some of their favorite potluck dishes. (I sampled a few desserts that I'm sure my Weight Watcher leader would raise her eyebrows at...but she wasn't there, now was she, and boy were they good! ) The food was great, but the highlight of the evening was hearing from three of our ladies as they shared what the Lord had done in their lives in various situations. Linda Tanner shared her testimony of going from having "it all" to "losing it all". She shared her heart with us as to what really makes a person "happy". It all comes back to Jesus and without him possessions leave a hollow, empty feeling. Christ is the only one that can feel the void our hearts possess. Linda shared how faithful the Lord has been through their financial struggles and in the life of their son, Bradley, after a frightening health scare. Following Linda we were blessed to hear from Judy Harrison who shared her story of a mysterious bought with "kidney failure". She kept a journal of her stay in the hospital and shared her day-by-day thoughts with us. What I came away with after hearing her incredible story was that although she had concerns, she also had great peace. What a gift we have as believers to experience such peace in the midst of crisis. I loved the "praise" factor that was present in all of the entries. Remember Job and all of his woes? He refused to curse God and die as his friends and wife encouraged him to do. What a praise that she is doing so well and the Lord was so faithful to "show up and show off" in the hospital. (I was also impressed with her bicycling excursions. I tried that once, Judy, in Cades Cove and a bear was involved....no more for me!) We concluded the evening by hearing from Stephanie Kitts. Stephanie shared how the Lord took her relationship with her husband Tim from shaky ground to a firm foundation built on him. After a time of separation, God restored their relationship and they continue to serve the Lord together with their two beautiful daughters Emily and Olivia. If time had permitted us, I'm sure there were countless other stories sitting in that picnic shelter. Perhaps in the future we'll be blessed to hear more of them and see again just how faithful a God we serve. Won't you consider joining us for our next ladies event? Expect to leave with your cup not just full but overflowing! Invite someone you know that isn't already a part of the women's ministry. Invite a neighbor, a co-worker, a family member. I met some new ladies at the event and I always enjoy making a new friend or spending time with someone I already know. There's always something "new" you can learn about your sisters in Christ and always something you can share! ( ...and always a forbidden dessert or two to indulge in!)

Blessings!

Churchwide Women's Picnic- July 11th, 2010

When: Sunday, July 11th @5:30pm
Where: TCBC Picnic Pavillion
What: Fun, Fellowship, Food, and Faith

Well, I suppose it's about time we update this blog. Sorry for the lag time. Your administrator has been a little under the weather the past 12 weeks since finding out she is carrying a new baby, praise our great Lord for His mercy and blessings. Thankfully, I am beginning to feel at least somewhat able to function again. Okay, enough about me and more about you and our TCBC Women's Ministry events and theme for the upcoming year.

First, we are planning to kick it all off with a church wide picnic this coming Sunday July, 11th in the Picnic Pavilion at 5:30 pm. Please bring a covered dish to share with everyone. The children are certainly welcome to come and play together as we have a relaxed evening of sister fellowship.

We will also be encouraged to hear from several ladies in our church about how our great God has worked in each of their lives. So come prepared to eat well, love well, and live well as we share with each other the blessings of God in our lives.

Be sure to check back often for news and event updates. We will be posting our upcoming Bible studies, other events, and various devotionals from time to time.
You can also subscribe via your email by adding your email to our list on the left hand side of the screen.

Hope to see you there. Have a blessed week.

Ladies Night Out- A Night of Wisdom

for wisdom is more precious than rubies,and nothing you desire can compare with her.    Proverbs 8:11

Spring of 2010 brought an exciting ladies night out for the women of TCBC with talented author and speaker Shelley Hendrix.  Shelley brought us a challenging and encouraging message based upon her writing entitled, "Wisdom: A Girl's Best Friend".  Shelley's message was taken from Proverbs 8:11.  Shelley challenged us to examine that if we were seeking anything else in life above godly wisdom to lay that at the alter in order to pursue wisdom.  God's Word teaches us that wisdom truly is the most precious thing in life to pursue.

We also enjoyed a great time of food, fellowship, and wonderful worship led by Angie Grigsby and Sherri Emitte.

Shelley also heads up a ministry in her hometown of Atlanta, GA called Church4Chicks.  You can read much more about her ministry and glean from her wisdom both on her blog, shelleyhendrix.org and her ministry blog found here.


Oh and I almost forgot!  GREAT DOOR PRIZES!!!!!


Be sure to watch for the details of our next women's ministry ladies night out and don't miss your opportunity to fellowhip and worship our Lord.  We also encourage you to invite your friends and neighbors.  We will always share the good news of Jesus Christ so attending a women's ministry event is a great way to reach a lost world for Jesus Christ.

May God bless all you wise and godly ladies!
