Dear Precious Sisters In Christ,

We experienced such an awesome presence of God and out pouring of His Grace and Love on us @ the retreat @ the Cove this past weekend. We missed you, if you weren't able to attend and wish so much you could have joined us. Our speaker Jana Spicka was awesome and absolutely had a message from God to share with us. The worship team led by Jill Burns took us to a level of oneness with the Lord that was just such a blessing. The 6 women who shared their testimonies of God's grace in their lives just brought us all to tears. We had some great skits and break out sessions and of course being at the Cove is like being in the waiting room for Heaven! Our theme was "The Time of Your Life"....walking with God through the different times or seasons of our lives.

We will be having a Post Retreat Gathering this Sunday @ 3 PM in Pod D @ Brookwood. We invite not only those who attended the retreat but all Brookwood Women to come and enjoy a little taste of what the retreat was all about!

I hope to see you there. May God....Show you the path of life....in His presence is fullness of joy, at His right hand, pleasures for evermore.

God Bless you!

Nancy

Hello Ladies,

Something that has been on my heart recently is the opportunity to reach out to women within our own church. Sometimes we get so busy doing "church" things that we miss taking the time to really see who is around us. Brookwood makes it easy for people to slip in and out "undetected":) Even when women might really be yearning for a friend or someone to take an interest in them, they tell themselves they just want to be left alone! I was one of those women! I sat @ Brookwood for several years, no one spoke to me or personally asked me for coffee...nothing! Till one day, when there was a small group connection tent outside @ the old church and I finally decided to go and see! God's timing was perfect and there was only one person in the tent.....a woman @ the Women's Small Group table. Finally, I got connected to a person and the rest is history.

Last Sunday we went to a different Service time and there was a woman I hadn't seen behind me. I turned to her and introduced myself, we chatted and I said, "let's get together for coffee". We exchanged info. I emailed her and her response was, "I moved here 2 years ago and only know 2 people, I was just asking the Lord to help me get connected some how and then you talked to me." We are having coffee this week and I pray God will direct me to be able to get her connected.

Let's be more intentional about reaching out to the hundreds of women coming to Brookwood each Sunday that we might be the channel that God uses to touch their lives...let's show them God's love! Have a blessed week, B Women!
