Wow! It is busy around here! Last Tuesday night, the youth had their largest fundraiser of the year, “Ladies Night Out!” The following were some impressions I had from the day of the event:
I just came from the gym! Everything is so beautiful! All the tables are decorated.
Christmas china!
Huge table arrangements!
Magnificent designer table cloths!
A stage setting to “die for!”
Food being prepared in the kitchen!
What can I say? “It is going to be a marvelous night!”
The setting has over three hundred places reserved! The youth are planning on being here to serve the meals! Stevie Jones, Beverly Oliver, Nel Joyner, Linda Pope, Debby Conway and so many others have worked tirelessly to get everything ready.
It is obvious to me that everyone is coming because of the awesome settings and wonderful meal being prepared! Dinner! Hallelujah! I can’t wait!
“What do you mean I can’t stay?”
“Well you do get to say the prayer!”
“But, what about dinner?
“This meal is for Ladies only!”
“How many ladies are you planning on being here?”
“Over 300!”
“You are kidding? What do you want me to speak on?”
“Oh, you are not the speaker.”
“Three hundred people!”
“Ladies!”
“And I don’t get to speak?”
“Correct!”
“Well, you do have ushers? Remember, those ladies are carrying purses and we’ll need to take an offering!”
Just kidding with the conversation! Isn’t it awesome to have something so wonderful that people (ladies) are willing to fellowship with one another, listen to an awesome speaker (who is not me!) and share to love of God!
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body…and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. (I Corinthians 12:13)
