Good morning, Sisters!
There has been so much
going on since our last meeting so I apologize for taking so much time to get this report to you all. Here goes!
We reviewed the Graduates and Retirees breakfast,
which went relatively well considering there was not as much publicity
as we had hoped. I've been handing out the Bibles that were left as I
see graduates at different church events--even the ones that were left
over and personalized from last year! I was approached with 3 more names
and I had to get a couple more after the store had replenished their
supply. We decided to ask for a little more money because the cost of
the food and the Bibles/devotionals was greater than the $300 budgeted
for it. Also the folks who volunteer to cook should include buying the
food as part of their duties as cooks.
Below is a list of folks who have not receive their Bibles/devotionals yet.
I've seen a few of them when I did not have the bibles with me so now I
keep them in my car in case I see them at church. I will bring them in
with me and take them to my HGFC (room 111). I will be out of town next Sunday, however.
Graduates-High School: Darren Ellis, Jr., Rachel Philson
College Sabrina Stansberry
Retirees: Cassandra Bilberry, Ronnie Blake
COURTESY/HOSPITALITY: Sister
Lights was sent a card and $25. A card and $25 was sent to the family
of Sister Mildred Stevenson. We received a card of thanks from the
Stevenson family. I like to take a picture of these things to share with
you all but I didn't take one of this one. I'll pass it around at our
July meeting. Below you will see that flowers were sent to First Lady
Verta Bilberry. Sister Garner has been added to hospitality committee.
Courtesy guidelines attached.
CONFERENCE: Too late to get a replacement for the president to attend so we agreed to make sure a Sisterhood rep attends next year.
The original Devotional Message list seems to be MIA so we came up with this list until December:
JULY- Marjorie Nichols; AUGUST- Sarah Williams; SEPT.- Ella
Early (?); NOV.- Annette Yancy; DEC.- POTLUCK
Reply
to this email if you'd like to be added to the Devotional Message list.
Present in anyway that you feel led, however limit the time to 4 minutes.
SERVERS LIST:
These are the folks for JULY:
- Jerutha Cannon
- Willistine McKnight
- Kathy Michael
- Melissa Porter
- Annette Yancy
We decided to start again with the
serving list and
revise it since we have some people who are serving alone due to
members being MIA for one reason or another. I am believing that those
who are not on the sick and shut-in list will be back if we make a
concerted effort to remind them to come back with us--so I left some of
them on the serving list which is
attached. Members present at the June meeting had first choice.
CHRISTIAN WOMEN'S CONNECTION LUNCHEON:
The next luncheon is July 8. There will be a fashion show based on
money saving finds. If you have not been to one of these 'ladies only'
lunches, you need to make it a point to get to one as they are filling
both spiritually and 'tummy-wise.' They start at 11:00 at Oak Lodge and the meal is $22. Contact Sister Nona Haynes for more info. Hurry! as they need to know how you will participate by July 4th.
DISCIPLESHIP WEEKEND RETREAT: Renita
McKnight gave an awesome report of what she experienced. If you'd like
the same experience, the next retreat is Friday-Sunday, August 8-10. For
the application/brochure, click one of these links:

Kairos Outside is for ladies 20 years old and older who have an incarcerated loved one. If that is you or someone you know email me or Sister Carol Spisak ( csings4him@aol.com). There is a special weekend being held for these ladies mid-September. This will be my first time helping to host one. If you're interested in being on a team, contact Sister Spisak. Team meetings start next week. Guest inquiries and attendance is held in strictest confidence.

Decorations and Photos:
Sister Peggy Wallace agreed to continue decorating and we accepted her
doing this service for whenever she feels led. We don't want it to be a
burden. However, we also decided that we need to take more photos of our events and use our web blog as our online scrapbook. We do many good things that need to be recorded. Volunteers for event photography: Peggy, Marjorie, Kathy.
Sisterhood Blog: It is much easier to update a blog rather than try to email the group and it is much more 21st Century. If you have not joined our blog please go to Mount Pilgrim Sisterhood Ministry. Scroll down on the right side. There are two ways to join and make sure you receive updates. Click "JOIN THIS SITE" or under that type your email address in the space that says "FOLLOW BY EMAIL." Even without email, this page can be accessed with computer access.

That
^ is a lot to digest today-- but it shows you that we got a lot done
during the June meeting. Remember that if a new sister or one that has
stopped coming arrives with a card (attached) with your name on it you
could win a prize!
Feel free to share with a friend who does not have email.
Our July meeting is scheduled for July 8.
YSIC,
Kathy Michael
