Ladies movie night on Friday 1st August 2008

Hello ladies,

I hope you are all in good health. Wish I could say the same for myself as I have been off work the past couple of days with cold, cough, migraine and fatigue. Hopefully, I should be back at work tomorrow.

This is just a reminder that we will be having our ladies movie night this Friday, 1st August 2008 at Paula Ridgway’s house to watch Hadassah – ‘One night with the king’. Time is 7pm prompt.

It will be nice if you can make it. Please let both myself and Paula know if you won’t be able to make it.

By the way, have we all picked up our copies of our current reading book – ‘Having a Mary Heart in a Martha world’ by Joanna Weaver. If you haven’t, I’ll like to encourage you to pick it up as soon as possible, as our discussion meeting for this book will be Saturday, 6th September. If you have any questions for discussion on this book, can you please post these on the blog, so as to kick start the brain storm session we will be having at the next meeting. Val Cottee will be joining us at the next meeting to share with us on her teaching on this topic.

See you all on Friday.

Stay blessed.

Preparation for our meeting to discuss Hadassah

Hello everyone.

This blog has really not been utilised very much, so my next entry will have some suggestions. as to how we can change that.

Hadassah by Tommy Tenney

I hope that everyone has had the opportunity to read this book in preparation for the meeting. I thought I would just ask a few questions to stir some responses.

• Did you find that you went to the source and read Esther alongside the book?
• How do you feel about the fiction aspects of the story?
• Tommy uses the swastika as a device to suggest a parallel with the Holocaust-did you find that this made you consider recent history in a different light?
• There is hardly any direct mention of God in the book of Esther- Does this validate a life spent as a faithful wife and servant of God?
  
• Do you feel there were parallels with Song of Songs?
  
• What did God say to you through reading the book?
• Have you read/listened to other Tommy Tenney materials? What is the one message that he preaches and comes through this book?
• Would you recommend this book to anyone else?
  

Please do share your thoughts, responses here or in person. Jacqui
