New Alliance-ALM Women

Hello ladies, First let me say, I apologize for the late followup and will be more timely going forward.  I had an awesome time with you all Tuesday at our meeting. My most favorite part was the prayer. There is just something about being on one accord in prayer that moves the hand and heart of God. I am looking forward for every opportunity to spend time with you all as we grow together. I am holding fast to the promises of God for every petition that was offered to God in prayer, as I know you all are as well. There is growth taking place, and an unmoveable alliance being formed.  So we know this, but it's worth repeating; when a child grows,  they change in size, appearance, and ability. With this growth we are encountering, there will come more accountability and responsibility. This is what we want to bring to ourselves and to each other. So as we continue with our corporate fast, remain prayerful that we see, hear, and speak what is edifying and pleasing before God. Pray together whenever possible, but always pray for each other. Many of you were at the meeting, so this is just a recap of what we discussed, voted on, and are planning. This is not in any order of priority except where a date is listed. 1) We have been asked to help raise a love offering to bless Pastor Chris on his birthday which is September 3. We are asking everyone who can and will to donate $20 by Wednesday, August 29. This is totally voluntary, but we pray each will participate. 2) We discussed all the annual events for 2013, and what the women ministries involvement will be for each. Discussions will continue next month. 3)  Open for discussion is a fall festival to be held the 2nd Saturday in September. This will be open to the public, and will also be a fundraiser.  4) Meeting locations and fellowship. Some recommendations were: bowling alley, dinner and shopping, and at each others home. 5) Fund raising/ training ideas-(workshops, life skills training) 6) Discussed possible Music extravaganza 7) Christmas parade/float Each of the remaining listed items we agreed upon by those in attendance. Discussion will be ongoing and again participation is voluntary.  Monthly love token =$5.00 due at each monthly meeting Envelopes for pastors appreciation $$$$ per member by June 2013. Envelopes for associate pastors appreciation $$$$per member by ???? 2013. House to House and gift exchange to  continue in December 2013. As you all can see, I am missing a lot of email addresses, so if you can help with any of those missing, please forward to charlotteyoung29@yahoo.com I probably missed something but as I said several times, discussions will be ongoing.  Next meeting is Tuesday, September 11, 6:30 pm at ALM. Love you all, and welcome feedback. Much Love, Charlotte
