December Program


Sheppard PWOC welcomes Patsy Dooley, December 4th at 6pm. I checked out Patsy online and found out some interesting things about this Christian speaker who combines her faith with humor. I hear she's got a great story about a helicopter ride that will make you split a seam!

A Note from Cheryl

Wow ladies! The PWOC International Conference 2008 in Grapevine is now part of history and were we ever blessed!! What an awesome privilege it was to join with over a thousand other women from all over the United States, the Pacific and Europe at our Redeemer’s feet.

The teaching and worship ministries of Lisa Harper and Kathleen Carnali were uplifting and life-changing. I know the workshops I attended on marriage, parenting, and leadership development challenged me to better serve God in these areas, but also equipped me to do just that.

During our Central region bonding time I was proud to share that Sheppard brought 25 ladies to conference, including 4 chaplain’s wives as well as our supportive and brave Chaplain advisor. We also recognized our Ft. Sill sisters whom we desire to partner with as we grow in unity and love.

Finally, my heart was encouraged as I spent time connecting with our wonderful women from Sheppard and reconnecting with many special women in my life that I haven’t seen in awhile – my first grade teacher whom I met up with a few years ago through PWOC, a sweet Chaplain’s wife who I served with in Mothers of Preschoolers and a number of very special mentors who have touched my life and helped me be where I am today. A number of times I overheard someone say “This is just a little taste of what heaven must be like!”

God is good and Regional Conference 2009 is just a year away ladies so mark your calendars now for 5-8 Nov at the Windermere Conference Center in Lake of the Ozarks ,MO and be prepared for a little heaven on earth!

Blessings,

Cheryl

PWOC Mosaic

When I met Carol Castro, I knew exactly what project I wanted her to tackle next - a mosaic of the PWOC logo. Carol is a local artist who does amazing things with clay. Her work includes commissioned pieces for the local Christian radio station and "cake decorated" ceramics.

After a lovely conversation at her dining room table, she agreed to create this beautiful custom piece just for ME!

Of course, I shared this with a few of my closest friends and now several people want them, too.

This particular "trivet" is 6.5" X 6.5" and is trimmed in wood. There are hangers on the back so I can put it on the wall or just use it in a display stand. The logo has been handcrafted, painted, and fired in Carol's own kiln. God has blessed this amazing woman!

If you are interested in having your own PWOC mosaic, you may comment on this post. I paid $25 plus tax. If you live outside the area, shipping costs will apply. You can also visit www.carolcastro.net

Thanks!


Thank you to Lisa for a great lesson about the "MUSTS of Thanksgiving. " We will be approaching our holiday season remembering what God has done for us, talking the talk, and walking the walk.

Many of us will be visiting family over the Thanksgiving break. Amid the pumpkin pie and endless football, we offer the witness of Christ to those we spend time with. Will you make Jesus the center of your thanks?
