FALL FELLOWSHIP

Our Fall Fellowship will be on Thursday, November 8th, at 6:00 p.m. in the Foyer of the church.   The theme for the evening is "Frugal Living".  This year instead of the lavish dinner, we are making it simple and less expensive.  We will be having a "Finger Food Potluck".  To keep with the theme for the evening let's make it interesting - use the items you have on hand in your frig, pantry and freezer to make your dish.  Don't go to the store and buy something, keep it simple and homemade or even homebaked.

Flyers will be going up in a few weeks with full details.  Mark the date in ink and we will see you there.

Blessings Overflowed at Our Fall Retreat

The Joy Women's Ministry held our first Fall Retreat at Spring Lake Camp and Retreat Center this past weekend.  The theme for the retreat was "Fill my Cup, Lord" with Janie Bono of Baton Rouge, LA as our speaker.  Forty eight women from Hot Springs Baptist Church and churches in Pine Bluff, Benton and Little Rock were in attendance.

A big thank you goes to our hosts, Ted and Verna Ortigo.  Ted was there to help and answer any questions we had and Verna and her kitchen crew were outstanding in their meal preparation.

The Joy Women's Team would like to thank everyone who attended, the retreat would not have been successful without you.

Some of the comments we have received on Facebook are:

“Wow, what a great weekend, and Sunday is not even here yet. The Retreat was great, everything was perfect with it.”
“Enjoying my evening with some Amazing ladies at the women's retreat! ;) Can't wait to see what God has in store for us this weekend!

 “Good times!!!! Love all my sisters!!!”
“Well, I am one not to post a lot and put my life out there for all to see.....but, I have to share this. Thanks to small group of ladies I had the best weekend I have had in a very long time. They worked countless hours putting together this women's retreat and it was so good. I meet new people got to know some better and truly felt God's presence among us. If u are a part of Hot Springs Baptist Church or if your not, u need to watch for the next one and make sure you attend. We all need a break from our routines and families every now and then. Can not wait to see what God has in store for us tomorrow at church. Thanks again ladies....u know who you are”

 “Enjoyed this weekend with women from Hot Springs Baptist Joy Ministry.”
 
This morning we were asked repeatedly when our next retreat will be.  The Spring Retreat will be April 19, 20 and 21, 2013 at Shepherd of the Ozarks.  We will be announcing this very soon.  Check back for dates of upcoming events.
