Greetings in the Name of our Lord:
On behalf of Disciples Women in Virginia, I had the honor to represent you at our staff fellowship in Atlanta January 27-29, 2012. What a privilege to learn what other Regions are doing, and how proud I was to share the important work that we do together here in Virginia.
Our spring workshops (SPA DAYS) are now upon us, as well as making plans for the women’s luncheon at our Regional Assembly on June 2, 2012, the Men’s and Women’s Retreat September 14-16, 2012, and our Blackstone Retreat October 12-14, 2012. In addition, I am also pleased to announce that planning has begun on our next Quadrennial in Atlanta!
SPA Days: April 7, 2012– Petunia Christian Church ; April 21, 2012– Broad Street Christian Church; Richmond area- Information to be forthcoming; Shenandoah area– Information to be forthcoming. If you are willing to host a spring workshop in a district not covered by these central locations, please contact us. The cost of SPA Days will be $8.00. This includes lunch and the program.
