Mother’s Day Event – We held an afternoon tea where everyone wore hats and gloves. We spread a quilt in the center of the floor where the children gathered while a professional storyteller entertained them.
Tea was served in tea pots from a member’s collection and we had a buffet with English tea goodies.

We held a “High Tea” just for fun, and as a community building activity this last August. Women of the congregation brought wedding gowns and pictures for display. Doilies, flowers, and antiques decorated the tables. A professor gave a poetry reading to the well-dressed crowd. We had a lot of fun!

We held our annual fall retreat at Messiah Mountain (near Morrison). Pastor Barb Martens of Urban Servant Corp led us as we “Walked with the Spirit” throughout the seasons of Advent. Attendees participated in a foot washing ceremony. In-Kind donations were collected for Baby Buds, a non-profit organization that helps single mothers get back on their feet and gives them self esteem.

We have two women’s Bible study groups that choose what they want to study (not always the current LWT Bible study). They have sponsored three retreats that include all women. For two years in a row we have had an outdoor event on a farm around a bonfire, including all women high school age and older. The bonfire event has been very successful at blending age groups and creating support for one another.
