1st Annual La Tienda Glam Sessions Party

There's still time to join us for this event on Sunday January 24th from 9a.m. to 4p.m. at Maxine's Salon in Hutto, Texas. There will be 2 make up artists, 2 photographers, 2 hair stylists and your own 30 minute photo session. The photo session is $75 which includes a $25 deposit at time of sign up. You will receive 5 images from your session to do whatever you'd like with. They would make a great gift for your husband on Valentine's Day. There will also be giveaways, silent auctions, food and lots of pampering. ALL money raised that day goes to La Tienda Ministry located in the Dominican Republic. Barb Welch's (one of our Women's Minstry team members) daughter Cara Welch serves in the DR with this ministry so this is a very personal event for all of us. You can learn more about La Tienda by visiting their website at http://latienda.moonfruit.com/. We are collecting business/individual donations, silent auction and giveaway items and will need food for this day as well. If you would like to donate monetarily or an item/service, please contact Monica at monsaw@yahoo.com asap. You can also volunteer to help out that day. Barb Welch is going to be selling lots of La Tienda items as well which have traveled from the Dominican Republic made by the women of the DR. Please join us for this very special event. You won't be disappointed you did!

Upcoming Spring Bible Study Information

We have decided to allow everyone to vote on our spring study. We are having a ministry team meeting tomorrow evening at 8p.m. at Monica Hamby's house and at that point the voting will close. Please take the time to vote! We have narrowed it down to three different studies. The choices are:

Breaking Free: The Journey, The Stories by Beth Moore. This is one of her original studies BUT it has just recently be updated with new dvd series and study guides. This study leads you through a study of the Scriptures to discover the transforming power of Christian freedom. Based on Isaiah 61:1-4, this in-depth Bible study draws parallels between the captive Israelites and today's believers. Beth uses Scripture to help identify spiritual strongholds in your life, no matter how big or small. She explains that anything that hinders us from the benefits of knowing God is bondage. Breaking Free is Beth's life message that she wants to share with you.

Covenant by Kay Arthur shows that the idea of covenant-God's enduring promise-is key to understanding our relationship to God. Covenant explores God's initiatives with humanity by studying His covenants throughout history. The eight-week format touches on the most important aspects of covenant:
Week 1 - The Whole Counsel of God
Week 2 - In Covenant with Him
Week 3 - The Customs of Covenant
Week 4 - The Lord Watch Between Me and You
Week 5 - A Walk into Death
Week 6 - The Oneness of Covenant
Week 7 - The Covenants of Salvation
Week 8 - Mediator of the New Covenant
Week 9 - The Covenant of Transforming Power
Through the process of inductive Bible study, participants will learn what it means to live covenant relationship with God.
