I am trying to plan, prepare, and facilitate a fall themed Women?s tea event based upon the Book of Esther as a ministry outreach in my community. This has long been a goal and dream of mine, and I have decided to finally try to make it happen! My goal is to join women in fellowship during a morning retreat-style event where we will dive into God?s word to have Biblical discussions, prayer, and to rediscover who He?s called us to be as friends, mothers, sisters, and daughters in Christ.

Our theme for the event is ?For such a time as this? which is a quote from Esther 4:14, where Esther is being encouraged to stand up for her people (Israel) because God might have placed her there for a reason?that she should be using her position, time, and talents for God?s purposes. And better yet, for His glory. In this retreat, we will enjoy community with each other, as well as tea and refreshments, to gain a better understanding of how God can work through each of our lives ?for such a time as this? to thrive where He?s placed us, and to bring glory to His kingdom!

Every item purchased will help bring my dream women?s ministry event one step closer to a reality, as I am trying to fundraise money to cover the costs of study materials, a venue, and food and drinks so that the women in my community can attend at no cost to themselves. ?Whoever has ears, let them hear.? (Matthew 11:15).

Thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated! And even if you don?t purchase an item, please pray for the event and those that may attend. Pray that it may bless them and let God radically work through their lives!
