After a few realllly long posts last week, this one will be short and sweet.
As planned, we gave out cookies for Easter last week, all around our area. I estimate that we gave cookies to around 1200 people, in DeLeon, Comanche, Dublin, and Stephenville. I don't know what the full results are, but we trust that some hearts were touched.
Most people thanked us, and were excited to get home made cookies. Many people read the card and thanked us again for the reminder. Several people said that they appreciate the fact that we are taking the gospel message to people. Some people looked so grumpy that they were hard to even approach, but, after we gave them cookies, they smiled and were happier. One woman shared some hard things that are going on in her life. After we prayed for her, she said that she was so grateful that we had come to her office, because she was "just about to go under". We ran into a church member in a little store, visiting with the store owner. The church member said that the store owner kept saying, "I can't believe those women gave ME cookies".
I am praying that some people went home and really considered the message of the card.
Happy Easter
Easter is a special time to remember that God loves us.
It is a time to celebrate the new life and new beginning that He offers.
"But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even
though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised
Christ from the dead." Ephesians 2:4-5
Please accept this small gift as a reminder of God's love and the hope He gives.
Join us as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday...
Our purpose is to encourage women to pursue a growing, passionate relationship with Jesus Christ through support, fellowship and discipleship. We strive to provide many opportunities to help women grow in relationship with Christ; to live the abundant life that Jesus promised, a life of joy and freedom, and to have relationships that are healthy and fulfilling.
