We had a wonderful Christmas by Candlelight Meeting! We enjoyed a delicious catered breakfast in a
beautifully decorated room. Each table
was unique and filled with Christmas spirit thanks to the hard work of our
Discussion Group Leaders and Steering Team.
A big thank you for all of their hard work spent planning and
decorating! Also a big thank you to Kathie
Kelly for the slide show displaying all of our beautiful families throughout
the meeting!
Tricia Zody, a friend of Cintia, joined us for the meeting
and sang several Christmas Carols. She
then shared a message describing her life experiences as a mother and a woman
of God. She offered great advice, tips
and reminders. She really encouraged us
to remember that this season when our children are very young is so short and
we should cherish it.
