After another Wonderful Ladies’ Retreat last month, we are already preparing for next year’s Ladies’ Retreat! Thank you so much for your support in ordering Spring Flowers from us.

We will be collecting your orders on Sundays March 10, 17, 24, 2013 for delivery April 13, 2013. Look for new varieties to be offered!

We hope you will join us Friday evening, February 22 through Saturday afternoon, February 23 for Fun, Refreshment, Fellowship and Enlightenment! We will be pampered at the beautiful Embassy Suites Hotel Irving DFW Airport South.

On Saturday our keynote speaker will be Rev. Marie Mitchell, Associate Pastor at First Methodist Church, Duncanville. Marie is a dynamic and eloquent pastor and speaker. Her passion is empowering women and others to know the love of Christ that they might experience the power and rich inheritance that awaits those who believe.

Her presentation title for us is “God’s Amazing Grace: How Sweet the Sound” based on Max Lucado’s book, Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine. Her key scripture is from Ezekiel 36:26, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you”. She says “Get ready for a grace-filled weekend where the love of God will consume you!”

You may register for the Retreat at the Ministry Area near the church offices each Sunday January 13-February 4.
