Keeping the Main Thing -- THE MAIN THING!

When we live life centered around what others like, feel, and say, we lose touch with our own identity.

I am an eternal being, created by God.

I am an individual with purpose.

It's not what I get from life, but who I am, that makes the difference.

Looking for some FUNdraising Ideas!

Princesses;

When we last spoke we discussed creating a "purity/abstinence" bracelet for the T2C mentoring program. Well we need to start raising funds so that we can order this one-of-a-kind creation in time for Christmas delivery!

There are two ideas I'd like to share, but both will require YOUR FULL commitment, participation and support.

The 1st -- is a Tiara's Trattoria. We will recreate a festive Italian style restaurant right in our very own fellowship hall. (End of July timeframe) We will sell tickets for a scrumptious spaghetti dinner and dessert. This event can raise about $800.

The 2nd -- is a T2C Ice-cream Social. We will again create a light refreshing atmosphere in our fellowship hall and sell ice-cream dessert during a Mid-Summer Evening this coming August. We can probably raise another $500 from that event.


I expect the bracelets to cost around $100 -- so both of these fundraising activities should certainly cover this cost.

We need to get moving!

We will also need to raise funds for some summer outings/trips. The SKY is the limit. You all will decide how high we go!

Looking forward to your creative input and ideas for these and other fundraising opportunities!

Ciao for Now!

A Little Disappointed Indeed!

Hello Lady Princesses -- I missed most of you on Saturday. Of the 13 from the previous week only 4 showed up this past Saturday. Could you imagine my angst after having purchased food for 13?

So -- what do you think I should do about that? I'm thinking...maybe we only need to meet once a month.

What I can't do is waste my time or my money.

I'm here/there for you -- I do expect the same courtesy and at a minimum I expect a phone call or email with your regrets for not being able to make the meeting.

This is the 2nd warning about no-shows...no calls. Quite frankly it's rude and unacceptable.

With that said -- I would like to speak with all of you after church next Sunday. If you are reading this blog, like you should be -- you will not be surprised when I ask you all to meet me after church downstairs.

I'll share with you my concerns, my expectations and my plans for moving us forward so that we ALL get the best out of this mentoring group and our meetings.

Be well,
Mrs. Renata

One of A Kind!

All that we have and are is one of the unique and never-to-be-repeated ways God has chosen to express Himself in space and time. Each of us, made in His image and likeness, is yet another promise He has made to the universe that He will continue to love it and care for it.
