Prayer Warriors Sending Cards, Mentoring funtime

We are about six weeks into our 2010 session.

Prayer Warriors, remember to pray regularly for the mentoring team you've been assigned to. By now, you should have made at least one phone contact with each of your ladies and have prayed with them individually (make sure to record it in the Prayer Journal in the back of your handbook). So, today might be a good time to send out cards to your mentoring pair. You may use the cards you were provided with, or find another that you like better.

Mentoring pairs, now that you've met a couple of times, perhaps try a fun activity together. My mentee and I have chosen to attend the Beth Moore simulcast this Saturday (I can't wait!!!), but there are other activities that could be fun choices, too.

How about getting a sno-cone? There are many locations throughout the Alexandria area. Or, perhaps one of you are searching for shrubs or flowers to plant in your landscape...why not make that an outing for the two of you? Chick-Fil-A has just opened a new location on Jackson St., there are many boutiques around town, how about a trip to our zoo?

There are dozens of "everyday" types of things you can do together. It doesn't have to be anything expensive. Just include your mentoring partner in an activity you normally do. What about a game night (or day), Yahtzee, Boggle, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, etc.? At a meeting like this, you could invite your Prayer Warrior to join you!

The 2010 Mentoring Session Has Begun!

Woo hoo! Our 2010 Sisters in Christ Mentoring session has now begun! I can't wait to hear about how God works in the lives of Calvary's women this six months.

Each woman participating in this session has been notified concerning who their partner is and what they need to do to get started.

If you thought you had signed up for participation, but have not gotten a phone call from me (Julie Taylor), please contact me as soon as possible at jt4some@hotmail.com.

Most ladies have already picked up their handbooks and workbook, but there are still a few handbooks left at Calvary's welcome desk by the sanctuary. Please pick them up right away. If you wanted to purchase the workbook, "Conversations on Purpose", but have not done it yet, you can purchase it for $15 at the New Beginnings bookstore.

What happens next?

1) Read through your handbook before your first meeting with your partner, discuss any questions at your first meeting

2) Contact your partner to set up a time and frequency to meet

3) Prayer Warriors should contact the mentoring team she is responsible for and make her first log into her prayer journal

Due to a shortage of available Prayer Warriors, I was not able to offer a Prayer Warrior for each mentoring team.
