September was a lovely month with slightly cooler temperatures, assuring us that brisk fall weather will be here..............eventually. :-)
We began our 10 week ladies bible study (graciously led by Linda Clark) where we are going through Genesis aided by Nancy Guthrie's book, The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis. It is a wonderful time of teaching, discussion, prayer and fellowship--and of course some tasty treats. ;)
It is our hope that this year we will grow to be like the men on the road to Emmaus whose hearts BURNED within them as they truly saw Christ in the scriptures. On some pages of scripture Christ seems to be hiding and some pages He seems to be jumping off of, but He is there on every single one! Dallas Willard said, "when we see Jesus as He is, we must turn away or else shamelessly adore Him." And that is our hope--that we will shamelessly adore the Lord as our hearts burn within when we see Him in His word.
We also had our first Coffee, Cookies, Chatter and Cheer gathering. And it was so much fun! In case you don't know about this, Coffee, Cookies, Chatter and Cheer (or "cccc" for short) is our monthly little get together where we have Coffee, Cookies (wait, did you guess that?? you smart thing, you! well, you never know, somebody might shake things up a bit and serve tea and scones!) along with some Chatter and Cheer as we share in the fellowship that we have as sisters in Christ and encourage each other in our walks with Him. I hope you all will perhaps be able to join us for the next on Oct 11! It really was a lovely time.
