Bible Baptist Temple

April 17-18
$25 registration fee

We will write one check to Bible Baptist Temple

The specs -
We will probably be leaving the church on Friday around 2. We will have an absolute time by the first of March.

Registration will begin at 5:30 and will include sub sandwiches. Services begin at 7. Following the service, we will either grab a bite to eat or go back to the hotel to begin the slumber party!

There will be 5 sessions on Saturday. Four of the speakers will share their testimonies of how God allowed circumstances in their lives, how they trusted Him, and through His grace, "Bloomed Where They Were Planted." Anita Couser lost her husband unexpectedly. Carlene Smith had planned to follow her husband to the mission field, but he left her with 5 children to raise. Sindy Brown had a child who was born healthy, but now suffers from complications from tic fever. Glenda Williams is a godly lady who followed her husband to plant a church in St. Joseph, MO, and then into evangelism. Pastor Bill Marshall will be the final speaker.

Due to limited seating, we need to get registrations in as soon as possible. Please let me know as soon as you are positive you can attend. Refunds will only be provided if a 2-week notice is given. Late registration is $30 and it is possible you will not be able to sit with the rest of our group, although they will do all they can to keep us together.

If you have a child, there is no nursery for this event. However, some of the ladies have decided that they will take their infant with them and those ladies will take turns watching the children at the hotel so that they can participate in the majority of the services. If you are one of those with a child, please let me know so we can coordinate this effort better.

We will make arrangements for the hotels at our March ladies meeting. If you are not able to attend, please let me know if you want to share a room with 1 other lady or 4 to a room. The cost for the hotels is around $79 (not including tax) and includes a full, complimentary breakfast. More information on the hotel to follow.

Lunch will also be provided on Saturday at the church.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or e-mail me. Be in prayer for this great meeting! God used last year's meeting to meet the spiritual needs of all 6 of us who attended. I look forward to a great attendance this year and a wonderful time of fellowship with one another!
