Apples of Gold

Grace Women's Ministries has just sponsored a six-week mentoring class called Apples of Gold, for young married ladies/mothers. We met each week in a different home of one of the  ladies mentoring.  The night began with a cooking demonstration, then a Bible study, and finally, all eating the meal together that was prepared in the demonstration.
The lessons studied came from Titus 2:3-5, which says that the older women should train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, busy at home, kind, submissive to their husbands, and hospitable.
We all learned that our homes belong to God and that no matter what the size or condition of our home, we are to share it with others and use it for God's glory.
The first group of young ladies to participate in Apples of Gold were Stephanie Barrow, Katie Cooper, Amanda Henderson, Chris McCulloch, Soleta Norris, and Amy Warren. The mentors were Jane Dillard, Bea Morris, Margaret Phillips, Donna Pinson, Laura Weaver, and Renee' Anderson.
We all were so amazed at the fun we had and the relationships that developed during this process, not to mention the delicious recipes we acquired.
In the Fall we hope to begin another class with a new group of ladies.  Stay in touch to hear more information about this rewarding experience.
