 LADIES—Are You Too Stressed to be Blessed?

Let's join together for an afternoon of fun, relaxation and pampering. Refresh our minds, bodies and spirits as we think together on God's promises to take care of us in every circumstance of life, but also on His request for us to REST in Him.
 
Take time to join us at our very own....SPA ESCAPE!
 
Enjoy the pampered feeling of:

A warm Spa neck wrap

Heavenly hand treatment and more...
All while focusing on God's love for us!!!!
 
Date: September 18th
 
Time: 11:00 AM
 
Place: F.E.L.C. Fellowship Hall
A light lunch will be served immediately following pampering.
 
What a great time to enjoy Christian fellowship while we relax, renew and rejuvenate our bodies, minds and spirits! This ministry is perfect for women's groups and servants of God. We are the hands and feet of our maker, so let’s take care of them and set ourselves apart to “rest in the Lord” together so we can go back home…
