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 .'
