 What Are You In The Habit Of?

The handouts that are available are designed especially for Christian women to survey and evaluate certain areas of their lives to bring them to a closer relationship with the Lord. Great resource at a reasonable cost for Church Ladies Meetings and Events.Find details here...

Focal Point
Summer Porch Setting - Prop an old screen door against a wall. The older and more rustic, the better. Set out a porch rocker and a few other porch items such as terra cotta pots of flowers, baskets, or any yard/porch decoration.
