It's not easy planning events when the calendar is already packed full with a dizzying amount of worthwhile activities! But over the past month, we've had two different events - a Movie Night and a Coffee (and Tea!) House. It has been delightful to relax with other women in the community in these different settings.
I hosted "Moms' Night Out" movie night at my apartment, while four other women showed different movies in their homes.
The Coffee (and Tea!) House was held in a large classroom at the school, which we transformed into a cozy, relaxing space.
There was a beautiful spread of desserts!
Determined to provide quality tea for avid tea drinkers, Ellen found these fun loose-leaf teas!
My Pinterest project for the evening! I made decorative garland from old book pages.
This cozy corner in the library was soon claimed for reading, journaling, and conversation.
As I've been dreaming about these events, setting up and cleaning up, meeting new people and going deeper with close friends, I've been struck by why I'm so passionate about making it all happen. It's not about how many women attend an event, where we end up meeting, or how good the food tastes (okay, that matters a little bit!). Ultimately, what matters is that Christ is glorified. May Walking Together continue to connect women to the glory of God.
Thank You, Jesus, that You care about relationships and desire relationship with us. It's all for You!
