NW Tampa Ladies Day
The annual NW Tampa Ladies Day this year became a day full of fruity fun as our church building was transformed into “The Marketplace.” This year’s ladies day focused on the passage in Galatians 5:22-23 which talks about the fruit of the spirit. We were blessed with messages from three of our members: Kristin Mitchell spoke on the fruit of Self-Control, Tiffany Sanchez spoke on the fruit of Kindness and Tricia Sengul spoke on the fruit of Peace. Our ladies also participated in a small group talk with Margo Yeager & Joy Coston on the fruit of Gentleness, practiced the fruit of Patience during craft time and learned about the fruit of Love during a short fun & games session. As sisters in Christ, we left Ladies Day with our hearts full of Goodness, Joy & Faithfulness and with shopping bags full of fresh fruit & flowers from
“The Marketplace!”
The Women’s Ministry Team would like to thank everyone who helped make this great event a success. To those who planned, volunteered, prayed, taught, sang or baked —we are thankful for you! An extra helping of thanks goes out to Keith Boyer, David Boyer, Mike McDonald, Mauricio Perdigon, and Chip Price for constructing our beautiful marketplace, and to Rick & Cindy Bonk and the serving team for the delicious lunch!

School Tutoring Update
Monica Greaves is heading up the tutoring this year. It is FREE to Elementary and Middle School students and is being held on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30. Hopefully by having it at a later time this year, more people who have to work can make it. Those needing this service should contact Monica (813-390-7080) by the Sunday before, to let her know they are coming so she can arrange tutors. If you can help with the tutoring and would be willing to be on a call list, please phone or email her at [email protected].
