Welcome!

Well, I've taken the plunge into the uncharted territory (for me anyway) of blogging. I have been considering this for a while now. I felt like this would be a fast and inexpensive way of getting news and information to everyone. So tell all your friends to check the blog occasionally for information on Bible Studies, events, and news about the Women's Ministry at First Baptist Pleasant Grove!
First bit of news - SAVE THE DATE - August 20 and 21. We will host another "in-house" retreat at FBCPG in the student bldg on Friday evening and Saturday until mid afternoon. More details to come.
Second - Our fall Bible Study will begin in September at 4:30pm in the Fellowship Hall. Our study will be "One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land" by Priscilla Shirer. You will want to be a part of this wonderful study.
Third - We are working on Ladies Weekend 2011!! Can you believe it?? I can't. Whew. I'll give you a little "inside" information on who is coming next March...Babbie Mason!!!! That's all I can tell you right now. Make sure you put March 5, 2011 on your calendar. You will not want to miss this wonderful day. I cannot wait!!
Fourth - It's not too late to purchase tickets for Deeper Still 2010 here in Birmingham. That's right, Beth Moore, Kay Arthur, and Priscilla Shirer will be here in Birmingham at the BJCC December 3rd and 4th. Tickets are $79.00; so if you are interested in going please see Julie Bates or Donna Wilson with your ticket money and we'll purchase your ticket and add you to the list. We have arranged to have lunch together that Saturday during Deeper Still across the street at the Sheraton. That lunch will be an additional $15 paid that day.
The Women's Ministry Committee has been discussing a few ideas for mission projects for the fall so check back soon and see what is happening and how you can help.
If you would like to get involved but not sure how, please contact me and let me know.
Thanks everyone! See you Sunday!! - Julie Bates
