Dear Friends,
a happy and blessed New Year to you all! We hope that you had a refreshing time over Christmas and look forward to 2017 with confidence.
Our Women’s Fellowship will of course have regular meetings again in 2017. The next three dates are as advertised in the Messenger: January 13th, February 10th and March 10th. For April, however, we are planning something special, so the date will change. We will let you know soon and you can look forward to a ‘treat’…
This coming Friday we will meet as usual in the Fireside room at church at 18:30. Our theme continues, and here is a reminder of the lead verse for last year’s retreat:
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future; when she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.”
Proverbs 31:25-26
Especially at the beginning of a new year, we wonder what it will bring. We look at the challenges ahead, take stock of our recources and sometimes feel we come up short. Does this sound familiar?
As a fellowship of women we have the privilege of being there for one another with friendship and support. This is what we are aiming for in our meetings this year as well. An old BT advert in the UK proclaimed ‘It’s good to talk’ – and we feel it is! So – welcome to our first gathering of 2017!
If you have the capacity to bring some finger food, you are most welcome and it is much appreciated. If not, please do come anyway, there is always enough, and having YOU there is most important.
Every blessing –
Emily, Piia and Ulrike
