Laity Day Reminder and Volunteer Request
Some of you received your mid-week reminder of Laity Day via the Remind App or straight text yesterday. My computer was not cooperating for an email text. Ask me for the Remind link via text or email if you did not receive it.
Some of you probably got the word that a few sisters got together and donated funds for a repast. Brother Galloway and I agreed to allow this however let's not make it a habit of going on with your own plans after a decision has been made and discussed. Brother Galloway is nice enough to go ahead to ask some of the men for their donations to help out despite having the situation that I explained in our last Sisterhood meeting. Please understand that your donation is just that, a donation and is not a reimbursable expenditure. I cannot make it a requirement either; a donation is totally voluntary.
With that said, if anyone would like to volunteer their two hands to help sister Melissa Porter with the repast please contact her ASAP.
Looking at the time of my Houston appointments, I will probably be in attendance after all as I asked that the ophthalmologist review be moved back to November.
Meanwhile, on another subject that you're tired of hearing about, not enough of my church family has signed up for the real work of God and that is to join a prayer vigil for those of us who volunteer for the prison ministry, the candidate/residents, prison staff, and guests. I cannot fathom why. But in case it was a matter of forgetting, please CLICK HERE and add your name while I have you here.

Laity Day, Cookie Bake, and Prayers
Kairos Closing Ceremony Form can be found at listenlistenlovelove.com. Print and fax your DOC application ASAP-- like today-- for the greatest God-breathed graduation you've ever seen!
Cookie baking for Kairos is at Woodlawn Baptist this time. If you have any of the other supplies for cookies we would greatly appreciate your bringing them out to WBC. A great benefactor helped purchase about $700 worth of cookie dough!
Laity Day is next Sunday. It's the turn for the men to choose and provide a male speaker-- and they have a good one! Thanks to Brother Tommy Cain for agreeing to treat us. Thanks also, to Sister Nona our VP for representing the Sisterhood in my stead as I have to go to my regularly scheduled appointments at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. I'll be with you all in spirit!
Kairos Angola #67 is still on for 10/31-11/3/2019. Please add you name to the prayer vigil at tinyurl.com/kairos67. For other ways to help, please visit the Kairos Angola website at listenlistenlovelove.com.
In the space to the right---> if you haven't done so already, type your email address and you will receive notifications every time this website is updated.
As usual, please share this information with folks on your email list or with a sister you know who has neither an email address or a mobile phone number.

October Meeting and Laity Day Planning
The meeting with Brother Galloway concerning Laity Day (see last post) was discussed at Tuesday's Sisterhood meeting. Between us we were able to get most of the folks suggested for the program.
As promised, I revisited the repast for Laity Day with him as some of the ladies at the meeting suggested. It was suggested that if a repast was desired, donations should be made to provide the food since no money was allotted in the church's budget. I suggested that some donate parts of a small menu like finger sandwiches, sheet cake and punch. Sister Nona suggested the lady who has done catering for us in the past. The last such venture with her cost about $200 or more. It was suggested that the Sisterhood members donate $10 each to make this happen and ask the Brotherhood to do the same.
However, after speaking with Brother Galloway, it makes more sense to stick with the original plan as decided in the planning meeting. Their membership has been tapped for another event and there is not the same number of active members he had a few months ago. There were about 8 members of Sisterhood present. That would mean we could raise a possible $80-- far from what would be needed for a caterer. Original plan: No repast. Final plan: No repast.
VP Sister Nona will serve as the Sisterhood rep at Laity Day. My quarterly checkups at MD Anderson requires that I travel to Houston on that day.
The Sisterhood was informed of the program and agreed that members will wear black.
We agreed to send something for Sister Lenora Benard's services and lift Sister McKnight in prayer. We need to keep Peggy Wallace in our prayers as well.
Kairos #67 is scheduled for the end of this month. Team membership is still available. Visit the website at listenlistenlovelove.com for the schedule and for the application. There is also an application for attending the graduation that we call "Closing Ceremony." Closing will be held on Sunday, November 3, 2019 at 2:00PM. Sisterhood members are invited. Applications should be turned in ASAP as they must be screened and processed by DOC weeks in advance of the event.
Cookie baking will take place at Woodlawn Baptist Church this time. The address is 5805 Jones Creek Road. If you cannot bring cookie dough, parchment paper, ziplock bags, printer paper boxes, just bring willing hands and stay as long as your schedule allows. The dates are October 21 and 22.
At our November meeting, which will be on Veteran's Day, November 11 at 6:00PM, we will have a potluck dinner. Members may receive a 'Remind' text with a link to 'SignUp Genuius .'
The next arts outing will be in December to see Langston Hugh's "Black Nativity." Go to this page and order your ticket for the December 14 showing:
