All adult women are invited to join us for “Coffee, Chocolate and Chitchat.” It will be a great time to relax, nurse a cup o’ joe, and just get to know each other. And chocolate—need we say more?!

It is requested that you bring a small item for our church kitchen. A list of items needed will be posted on the bulletin board at a future date.

All ladies and their daughters (age 12 and up) were invited to join in the fellowship and fun of of our annual Fall “Auction.”

Betsy started the evening with a very practical devotion on what to do with worry (hint: put in a box).

After the devotion, we snacked and had a “silent” auction on the inexpensive things that the ladies brought tonight (including several containers suitable for “worry boxes”). Each lady received tickets (at no charge) which she used to “bid” for her most desired trinkets and treasures. Lorrie demonstrated each item in its best light while Sharyn drew the winning tickets. It isn’t easy to explain in words, but the pictures show what a merry time the ladies had.

Ladies also brought their favortie Fall recipes to share. They will be compiled into a small cookbook and all our ladies will get a copy! Check back for an online link to the recipees here, too.

When life gives you lemons … make lemonade!! And that’s just what the JEWELS of Hanover Baptist did today during the 11th annual Ladies’ Tea. This year’s theme centered around lemons and daisies. Fourteen tables were donned with centerpieces made from half lemons with daisies in the center of each. The tables were full of lovely women from surrounding churches from King George. Our program this year consisted of special music (sung acappella by the Pizana ladies), a dramatic reading by Amber French, Humor by Sharyn Halpin, and a heartfelt devotional by Betsy Crookshank. I believe all of those present left the lemon-filled fellowship hall with laughter and hope in their hearts. It was indeed a lemonade kind of day!!
