When Gary comes home from the Men's Breakfasts (as he did this past Saturday) and tells me about how God is at work, I can't help but feel jealous. Since I work full-time, there is no way I can tap into the Tuesday morning Women's Break, so, I've been thinking....
...that the women in the church can do something once a month on a Friday evening. We did this a number of times last spring, but haven't carried on with it. I think we even talked about doing something after the Women's Retreat in September.
Here's what I was thinking as far as format and environment...
One speaker telling about their spiritual journey 35 - 45 minutes
Questions and prayer time after the speaker
Meet in the Cafe
"potluck" desserts
coffee from the coffee makers
candles lit on the tables for decoration (simple)
My idea is to keep it simple and easy enough that no one woman has to take on more than she can in the area of planning / making it happen.
What do you guys think?
The cafe is ours for the taking if we want to.
Who would you like to hear from?
Are you interested in helping to make sure it gets pulled off?

I like the idea of a monthly women's get together although I don't know if Friday nights are the right night. Maybe its works for others,let's see what people say. I'm sure it would be a very diverse group and many great things could come from this.
Any suggestions of another time that might work?
I think this is a great idea. I work as well, and I am not able to come to the Tuesday morning Women's Break. Once a month is doable and Fridays work for me. Let's go for it!
Friday night dessert sounds great! I really like the idea of meeting more Broadway women and evenings mean I can leave the kids with their dad, Yay!
I would love to have a monthly Friday night. My hubby says I should have more girls nights for myself. Fabulous idea Sharon.
xox :)
Friday nights look like they will work for quite a few people. So when do we start? Any ideas floating around out there for what we will do besides eat and chat OR is that what we want to do? I'm game for anything. Any new decadent dessert recipes that you want to try out on the group?
Open Fridays in April are 13, 20, 27th. I have to check with Betty if the Cafe is booked.
I was thinking we would do a similar format to the men in that we would hear a woman's spiritual journey, ask her questions and pray together.
After that, we can begin the Dance-Dance-Revolution in the Garage.
I have asked a woman in the church to consider being the first one to give her spiritual journey. She has agreed. I would like to ask here when she is available of those 3 Fridays.
Thoughts?
We could also have a games night after the serious stuff if we wanted to. I'm planning on making life-sized Dutch Blitz with Kate later tonight. I don't know why, but I think it would be fun to own.
Before I heard about the Dessert Night, I was really hoping to start up a women's rec night. I thought it would be fun to get together once in awhile and just play some crazy games in the gym like floor hockey, dodgeball, volleyball etc. No skills required, just a way to have fun and socialize but be physically active too. I've got a lot of fun relay game ideas. If this interests anyone let me know. If no one is up for it then I'll let the idea drop.
