December 2009 LIFT Meeting--Christmas Party

Pictures soon to come...I hope. Something happened with Mrs. Rachel's camera, and the pictures are gone! If you have digital pictures that she can use, please, let her know.

October 2009 LIFT Meeting- "Turn Up the Heat"

We had a Mexican theme for our "Turn Up the Heat" LIFT meeting. The fellowship hall was decorated with all kinds of authentic Mexican artifacts that have been collected by our church members on trips to Mexico. We also ate some scrumptious authentic Hispanic food made by our ladies, a few which are from hispanic countries. Sombreros hung from the ceiling.

Cast iron skillets filled with dried chili peppers were used as our centerpieces.

Each lady received a package of seasoning and atomic fireballs as a party favor.

Mrs. Joan Branning goofing off.

After the meal Mrs. Peggy Harbin gave us a devotion on setting our soul afire for God. She showed us several places in Scripture where God referenced fire and our hearts being set afire. It was a heart touching devotion.

August 2009 LIFT Meeting- "Back to School"

The fellowship hall was transformed into a one room schoolhouse for our August LIFT meeting.

The tables were decorated in the basic colors. School supplies and carved out apples with tea candles were used as our centerpieces. Each placemat had old school pictures of many of our ladies on the front and the back. The little brown lunch sacks were our party favors. They were filled with all kinds of basic essentials a women might use in her purse.

We played a "Guess Who?" game with the pictures on the placemats. Everyone had a good time trying to figure it out.

Mrs. Rachel gave a Bible lesson on getting back to the basics for the Christian student. She spoke about getting good meals in the Word each day, listening to the Greatest Teacher our Lord throughout the day, obeying the rules given to us in the Bible, being prepared and ready each day for what may come our way, and resting in Him each night.

June 2009 LIFT Fellowship- "Precious Memories"

The June LIFT meeting was a beautiful night. Once again, everyone had an amazing time. The theme was "Precious Memories." One of a woman's most precious memories is that of her wedding day, so the decorations were wedding themed. Everyone felt like they were at a dainty wedding and reception.

Mrs. Sharon made a real wedding cake for the fellowship.

We had lots of fun looking through all of the wedding albums.

We played a build a poem game about marriage. The first line was : Marriage is an amazing adventure. Each person had to add a line to the poem, but could only look at the line directly above theirs. We ended up with a quite humorous little poem about marriage. Below, Mrs. Stephanie is contemplating what her line will be.

We also played the clothes pin game. Each lady was given two clothespins. We could not say the word wedding. If you did and you were caught, you lost your clothespin. Mrs. Catherine won the most clothespins and won a bracelet.

We also had a wedding shower for Mrs. Catherine. She received several lovely and useful gifts.

Mrs. Rachel gave a devotion on Psalm 97:12, "Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness." We were encouraged to make precious memories with the Lord. We were encouraged to add those memories to our precious memories list right along with our graduations, weddings, and births. We were encouraged to pass those precious memories we have with the Lord onto others. We are responsible to pass those memories down through generations to come.

After the devotion we had a sweet, sweet time of sharing our precious memories and testimonies. There was hardly a dry eye in the room. We also had a special time in prayer for an urgent prayer request. The Lord truly knit our hearts together during this meeting. The presence of the Lord was with us. We left with overflowing hearts and more love for each other.

Each lady went home with a bridal box of chocolates brought by Mrs. Sabrina.

Mrs. Rachel made everyone a cone vase with the theme verse attached to take home as a precious memory souvenir.

Also a special thank you to Mrs. Laurie and Mrs. Charity for helping with the finishing touches on the decorations.

We do hope that you will join us for our next LIFT meeting.
