Another successful tea!

We had a wonderful tea on December 2, 2009! Once again our tea and treats was provided by Sisters Tea Parlor in Buckner, Kentucky and they didn't disappoint us! It was very yummy. Our guest speaker was Ginny Brown and she presented: "A Cup of Tea Spirituality for Christmas". We all enjoy our tea, (coffee, hot chocolate,etc), and we like to "savor the moment". We need to remember to "savor the moment" all the time--especially at Christmas when life can be a whirlwind. And finally, we were entertained by the most wonderful Lisa Spurlock on her harp--so relaxing, yet festive! And the women of SMM came through again giving a lot of donations of toiletries to St. Joseph. Stay tuned--we have a lot going on this winter!

"Emptying Your Cup" Retreat

"Emptying Your Cup" Women's Retreat
Twenty-eight women brought empty mugs and cups to a May 13th retreat at St. Margaret Mary.The retreat was sponsored by Women’s Ministry and presented by Bonnie Chester, Lisa Stumler and Mistianna Barnes. During the three hour evening retreat, after a delicious dinner was served, the women's cups were filled to symbolize the positive blessings and love we accept from God. Reflective journals were filled out and discussions, prayers and songs followed. Later the cups were emptied, symbolizing the "letting go" by the women of the negatives in their lives. The women were uplifted and energized with fellowship and the love of God.
