Women of Sovereign Grace Event Reminder!

Hello, ladies!

Just a reminder- this Saturday night, October 9th, there is an event open to all the women of the church.  A Bunco game night will be held at the home of Whitney Yates at 7pm.  Please email Whitney if you need her address or if you need to RSVP.  Leave a comment if you need Whitney's email address.

Also, Friday, Nov. 5th, at 7pm, Vicki Sandoval's small group will host a prayer night at Vicki's home.  Be thinking about who you can reach out to and invite!

For Further Study: Knowing God

At church on Sunday, Chad asked us to consider the following scenario:

A man is away on a long trip.  Each day, his wife writes and sends a letter. She pours out her love for her husband on paper.  When he returns from his trip, the husband asks his wife why she never contacted him.

"Why, I sent you a letter each day!"

"Oh", he said. "I never opened them. I was expecting you to call on the phone".

Chad said he often has people ask him why the Lord will not speak to them directly.  But He does! He speaks to us quite clearly through Scripture, His inspired Word. What makes us think that we will listen to a prophet or a voice when we will not sit down to grow in a relationship with God through His Word?

So let us sit down today, ladies, and read from God's Word.  Listen to the still, small voice that speaks to you through Scripture.  Here is today's daily reading:

Isaiah 49:1-50:11
Psalm 112:1-4
Proverbs 26:13-15
Ephesians 1:1-23

Have a blessed day!

What's Cooking

The wimmin get cookin

Dey actually makes most of her tortillas from scratch. What a valuable lesson!

Thank you to hostess Mrs. Laura Stevens, to the Corillos, to Dey, and to Victoria. Great Job!

No fellowship is complete without dessert.

The first Women's Fellowship event was a success! Thank you to all of the women who worked hard to put this lovely evening together.  It was a time of sweet fellowship and practical cooking lessons by some very talented chefs. Chef-ettes.  

We were taught how to prepare an entire Mexican food feast- handmade tortillas, salsa and guacamole, fajitas, rice, and beans.  

I was reminded tonight of just how dear the Body of Christ is to me, and I am sure that many of you feel the same way.  Our church is blessed with an abundance of dear and godly women. Thank you, ladies, for the fellowship!  We were blessed to have a few new ladies with us tonight, also.  

If anyone has any pictures and would like to send them to post on the blog, drop a comment down below and I will get them put up as soon as possible.

First Women's Event!

How exciting...we are approaching the first official Women's Fellowship Event.

The ladies who were planning these events could not think of a suitable, appropriate, non-threatening title for this ministry.  There still is no official title- for the purpose of this blog I have temporarily given the moniker "Women's Fellowship Event".  I know it is rather lame, and I would happily welcome your suggestions as to what to call these monthly get-togethers.  The point of Women's Fellowship Events is to make sure each women at Sovereign Grace is plugged into a small group.  Every woman is welcome, and every woman is welcome to bring a friend. 

So, join your fellow ladies this coming Friday at the home of Laura Stevens at 6 pm.  The event is put on by the women of Victoria Lovegreen's small group.  We will be observing and participating in a cooking lesson.  No childcare is provided, so thanks to all of the daddies in advance. 

See you Friday!

SGCOB Prayer Walk

Praying before we went out

Are you free on Saturday? Come out as Sovereign Grace walks door-to-door through the neighborhoods surrounding Liberty High.  Last Saturday, we simply walked around the neighborhood, praying generally for the people living there.  It was a really neat experience as I grew up Catholic and personally have no experience with anything "missions"-oriented.  This was a great first step.

Nest week, we will be knocking on doors to invite our neighbors to the Sunday services.  Chad told us that we may ask to pray for people, and to not be surprised when they say "yes!".  What a springboard to be able to share the Gospel.


If you cannot make it out, please join us in prayer.  Be praying that the people in the surrounding neighborhoods will be at home and willing to open the door to us.  Pray that hearts will be soft toward prayer and toward the Gospel.  Pray that God would use this new ministry to build up the Body of Christ.

Events Calendar

To those ladies who are wondering about this sort of thing, our "calendar" application seems to be difficult to access.  I am scouring the internet for a free program that will allow me to add dates and events to a calendar you all can view. I thought this would be a simple task! If anyone knows a way to help, please let me know in the "comments" section.

While on the subject, here is your announcement for the first two Women's Events. 

Well, our first SG Women's Fellowship will be on Friday, September 17th at 6pm at Laura Stevens' home; 15714 Legacy Ct. (93314) for a cooking lesson from one of our ladies from Randy Lovegreen's Grace group.  This will be a great time to learn and to have fellowship with one another. 

 

Please remember, this is not for Grace group women only, but for every woman at Sovereign Grace.  Please feel free to invite your female friends and family as well.  We would love to meet and get to know each one of them. 

 

Please know that child care will not be provided.  These fellowship times will be on various days and times, so if you cannot make one month you might be able to attend on an alternate month.

 

If you have any questions, please contact Victoria Lovegreen or myself.  Victoria's email is vmlovegreen@gmail.com. 

 

Please also mark your calendar for Saturday, October 9th for "Bunco Night" at Whitney Yates' home; 10505 Gainsborough Ct. (93312) for our next "SG Women's Fellowship".  The cost is free.  Whitney asks that we all rsvp by Oct. 2nd, so that she and her team can prepare for the night. We can let Whitney know by calling at 588-1847 or emailing her at whitneyvaughn@gmail.com.
