Flowers and friendship

Wildflower Tea August 11th 2020

Under the direction of Karla Myers, the basement was once again transformed into a beautiful tea room.  This year, due to the pandemic, she and her team of planners were confronted with the added challenge of considering how to adjust the seating and serving arrangements.  By placing fewer seats at larger tables, extra space was provided without destroying the friendly atmosphere.  Plastic gloves were available at the head of the serving table.

Several ladies spent Saturday and/or Monday at the church. The hours setting up tables, hanging decorations, folding napkins, etc. were well spent. Conversation sweetened the work, and many hands made the load lighter.

Maurina served the ladies by planning the menu. The recipes were easy to follow, and the dishes were pretty and packed with flavor.  Bonnie’s Hibiscus tea was refreshing, especially at the end of a hot and humid August evening.

Friendship was the theme of the program. Most of the ladies contributed by reading selected quotations.  Julie and Jacquie sang an arrangement of the hymn, “Fairest Lord Jesus”.

Our special speaker was Joie Fitzpatrick, who spoke to us about the Best Friend, Jesus Christ. She reminded us that he is our Familiar, Faithful & Forgiving friend who desires our Fellowship. We were challenged to find Christ’s counsel for our good and our growth in His word. We need to read, to love, to listen, and to hide His word in our hearts. It will teach, help, encourage, chide, correct, and show us our need of repentance, as well as reveal the glory of His grace.

Bonnie closed the meeting by thanking the ladies and inviting all to join the church group as they plan to begin a Bible study on subject of Joy this September.
