PRAYER

Alright girls - if we want to stay in God's will, we need to continue to put all things before Him. Our desire is to have as many participate in this part as possible!!!

Prayer changes things... as our steadfast and amazing prayer ministry reminds us with this quote "When we work, we work, when we PRAY, God works" it should encourage and fill us with joy to see our voices being heard. You are valued and vital as our plans progress!

Here are some basics we want to put before the LORD - please remember a few in your daily thoughts. We will add more as we get closer and needs arise. Thank you for the gift of your time.

- perfect weather!
- women of all ages, stages and comforts will come
- protected plans
- child care for mommies who want to come
- the information gets to all women
- pray for our speakers! Protected health and a contagious energy/excitement

Welcome girls to our first effort at bringing the Asbury Women's Ministry into the 21st Century - and so let the blogging begin!

Our purpose is to provide all kinds of information, entice the skeptical and excite women of all ages for the upcoming Spring Women's Retreat April 30 and May 1.

We have taken an old favorite and worked it into what we hope will be a new experience. Be sure to check back often for new information including, but not limited to - how to get there, what to bring, topics covered, pictures and a sneak peak into some of the things you can expect...

We definitely look forward to your thoughts and comments over the next month!

In His service, moving ahead with passion! Asbury Women's Ministry
