Proverbs 2: 4&5
"If you seek her (wisdom) as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasure;
Then you will discern the fear of the Lord
And discover the knowledge of God."
Today we kicked off PEARLS 2008 "Discovering Treasures". There was a lot of laughter, tears, good food, and great wisdom from God's Word. We are once again this year focusing on being a Proverbs 31 Woman of Excellence.
We took this opportunity to be women (Pastor Jeff did give us a few words of wisdom on taking every opportunity to teach others, but we quickly ran him out of the room)...we had an afternoon tea that included many delicious goodies served along with our tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. The high temperature today was only 5 degrees!
We also had a time of reflection...what is your greatest treasure. This time brought about lots of laughs and tears as we discovered what treasure each of us really cherish.
We learned a little bit about the background of Proverbs from its different poetry use to how packed full of words of wisdom it truly is. Then we took some time to talk about the character traits of a Woman of Excellence.
Each month when we meet, we will discuss a different character trait using the help of author Elizabeth George. We will also use our time to learn practical elements of being a woman of excellence.
For those who missed it, we really missed you and hope that you will put February 5th on your calendar to join us for the next PEARLS! There is a PEARLS profile sheet that we would love for all of our women at RHC to fill out so that we can get to know you a little better. Also, if you would like to participate in the Titus 2 Mentoring program, please let JeriAnn or Felicia know!
We are looking forward to a great year "Discovering Treasures" and we hope that you will come exploring with us!
