Dethroning the Queen

Thanks to everyone who helped out by returning their baby bottles!  Your donations will make a great and positive impact!

What a great speaker Alicia Sheppard was!  She discussed 3 areas in which we can work on unity as women; her main points dealt with :

1) Conflict: can result in division instead of unity.  She stated that gossping is 'demonic' and of the enemy. 
2) Cliques: staying within our comfort zones 'safe zone' our friends, can prevent us from interacting with others. 
3)  Competition: it can be harmful to compare ourselves to other women/mothers.  We may feel inadequate.  Who said we had to be the best? 

Thanks to the Trillion table for hosting!  The Heart table will be hosting at our last meeting on May 3rd.  We have 1 more meeting left!


You are invited to attend a 'Women's Tea' on May 5th at 11: 30am at Laveen Baptist Church.  Charge is $5 per ticket.  No childcare provided.
