Can't wait to see you all tomorrow!

I don't know about you Earilyn students, but this Esther study is blowing my mind. Did you guys KNOW all this stuff was in the Bible? It's full of contemporary relevance; that's for sure.

So here's the deal, sisters. God has BIG plans for us tomorrow. This Bible study business is a divine appointment. Come ready to spend some time with Him. Leave all your other worries at the door, or better yet, in the car!

I lift a special prayer to all the moms with sick kids out there. Lots of stuff going around, and it's not easy to be a mom with sick kids. I'm sure there are some other needs out there, and while I don't know them, God does. And He's already working on it. So rest in his arms tonight and trust in his goodness. Can't wait to see you all in the morning. xoxox

p.s. Remember Stephanie and Teri, breakfast is on you tomorrow!

Today's the Day! Today's the Day!

I love the scene in the movie STUART LITTLE when the little boy runs into the parents' room early in the morning and sings, "Today's the day! Today's the day!" He's so excited that they're about to adopt a brother for him. Pure joy. And that's how I feel this morning about seeing ALL OF YOU! Today's the day God weaves us together in a new and exciting way. Today's the day we begin this journey of faith and love. Today's the day we get to know new folks and reunite with old. I've even missed Beth (Moore). So see you soon!

Here is the BREAKFAST SCHEDULE for fall.

September 17 Virginia HOpe and Donna Koppelman

Even as I type these names, I'm saying a prayer for each of these precious friends who have volunteered to supply our breakfasts. If you get a chance, thank them, as well. I need to run, so I can get to church to see you because TODAY'S THE DAY! xoxox

What if I can't be there Thursday, but I want to participate?

Great question! Some of you cannot make it to the Kick-Off Breakfast on September 10th, and that's okay. BUT we need to know which study you'd like to do, so we can order a book for you in time. SO if you cannot be at the Kick-Off Breakfast but you plan to participate in one of the studies, click on COMMENTS below. In the comment box, please leave your name and the name of the study you wish you pursue. (Example: Donna Koppelman, I need an Esther book.) You can pay your $30 the first week you attend. Also, feel free to comment or ask questions in this manner at any time. I'll try to check it regularly.

Bible Study Kick-Off Breakfast Thursday, September 10th

Hope you can join us on September 10th for breakfast at 9 A.M. at St. Paul's. This will be an opportunity to catch up as well as time to order our books for the year. We will be studying Beth Moore's ESTHER this fall for approximately 11 weeks. It is her newest study and seems excellent.

If you were in Erilynn's study last year, that group will continue on to year 2. It is a 30 week study (like the first one) and guaranteed to knock your socks off.

It will be wonderful to gather again after our awesome summer break. I sure miss everyone. Please invite others who may want to join us. You can forward this message, or better yet, call, invite, and then bring them with you on the 10th. If, for some reason, you must miss our yummy breakfast, please let us know which book you would like for us to order for you. Registration cost is $30 which covers your book and helps pay the babysitters. BTW, babysitters will be there on the 10th!

God bless you. Can't wait to see you!
