Mission Akron

I had the privilege to spend almost a full week with some of the most amazing High School students in these here parts!!! Mission Akron, 2011~ What an amazing week! We started off with a trip to Pregnancy Solutions on Manchester Road to help them prepare their building for new siding. These students went to work big time....WOW!!!! Take a look at these pictures at how awesome they were.....

Norton Safety Town

The first full week of summer was filled with fun times at Norton Safety Town. The future kindergarteners of Norton were decked out in Red, Yellow, Green and Orange every day. Joining them in their groups were our amazing Junior Volunteers. A crazy, busy week is worth every minute where we include our own Safety Town course, a tour of the new fire station, a school bus ride and of couse the famous fire safety day. Ending it all with graduation on Friday night at the High school brought another successful year to an end. Thanks to the Lions' Club for funding NST and to Norton Women's Club for our adult volunteers and to the best of the best students in our Junior Volunteers. Congratulations, Norton Safety Town graduates! The Class of 2024!!!!!

Four Seasons Tea

I'm sitting here reading other blogs about Honduras when I realized that my blog...to everything there is a season...goes right along with an awesome event that took place at church this weekend. Sooooo....I decided it would be a good time to blog ... I haven't blogged since returning from Honduras even though I think of Honduras often and long to go back there someday when God's timing permits me to serve Him there. But as usual...I digress......so.....

Four Seasons Ladies' Tea at Akron Baptist Temple!!!! What an event!

I don't really know where to begin except to say Verlin McCulley a very, dear friend of mine for the past 25 plus years has a heart for tea sets. We had had teas at church but the last one had been cancelled leaving a void for Verlin. Sooooo Team Verlin Vicky was formed. We mentioned it to our Pastor's wife, Kathy and we were off. When the date was determined we were trying to figure out a way to incorporate all of Verlin's tea sets with a theme of some kind.

Well...at our first meeting...Verlin came up with the Four Seasons. The Four Seasons of the life of a woman...what a great theme!!! And of course Ecclesiates 3 was the obvious Bible reference for the event. The Byrds song...Turn Turn Turn was the song of choice. It just all fell into place so quickly....so...as one can see from the title of my blog....

God is so good to show us that truly....to everything there is a season.....even if it's a Ladies' Tea.

The next post will be the pictures of the tables...then I will tell you all about the day of the tea!!!
