Ladies' Spring Celebration '08 ~"A Garden Party"

When your life changes in a very big way, you mark things by firsts. Like when someone you love is no longer with you, you say this is our first Christmas without that person, etc….Well it is the same, when you move away from people you love and have ministered with for a VERY LONG time and you begin again in a matter of speaking, you say, that was our first service away, that was our first Easter in a new ministry, etc…Well I had my first ladies meeting in February, and I have one more under my belt after last weekend. I held my very first “Ladies’ Spring Celebration” in our new ministry.


It was different than the last 7 or 8 years, and I was sad and missing my friends a little, but it went very well and now I can say, I have done a Spring Celebration in my new ministry.


Nate and I came up with the menu and he rounded up some guys to help in the kitchen, I planned the service and decorated the auditorium for the day. It turned out beautifully, not quite as big as last years for me, but there is always time for that in the future.

Over all I can say it was a success, there are always a few things that a perfectionist like myself would change if I could rewind, but I can’t so I stand happy with the end result, and I feel God was honored through our efforts, and now we have one more FIRST out of the way.
