I've had the big sidebar blog announcement for this meeting for several months now. And now the meeting is only four days away! I'm so excited; hearing Darcie Gill is a blessing. If you can't get to the  VOM conference in June [and I can't], this is much closer to home and only takes an evening from your schedule.

We've had some snafus---online community calendars that didn't list or left out information, the usual press for volunteers, morning sickness---well maybe that's not so usual. But through it all we've seen God's hand move and been thrilled to share about this event.  We're working hard to make this a successful event, and one where lots of women can come hear about our family in Christ that needs our prayers.

So, ladies, if you live in the East Tennessee area, please come join us!  The presentation should last an hour, and the church is very easy to reach [ just two short turns from a main highway ].  There is no admission but if you wish you may contribute an offering after the program at the door.

We occasionally use VOM children's materials in our homeschool, and Darcie will have a table with some VOM materials set up.  See www.vombooks.com for all the resources. The "Kids of Courage" link from that site has lots of materials easily adapted for use in homeschool, Sunday school, Girls in Action groups, etc. 

Ladies, teens, and tweens are invited.  You are very welcome to bring your little ones, too. The two nurseries will not be staffed Monday night, though, but will be open for use.
