Sixty ladies attended this wonderful morning filled with fun, fellowship and reminiscing. After a scrumptious tea in a setting filled with beautiful flowers, the ladies were treated to a fashion show of handmade clothing worn at special events. A short talk by Sally Butlin told of the framework that special occasions become in our lives. We move through the frame to a different life-landscape on the other side and change that requires adaptation. The special occasion creates a memory or reference point from which the new reality begins and helps us to accept what is new and different. The special occasion reminds us that we have valid connections with friends and family, that we are bound by past history or a presently evolving one. As Christians, God helps us through these transitions by giving us comfort or adjusting our thinking. Blsh bhlah blssh

For women the ‘what-to-wear’ dilemma is always present when preparing for an event. We want to look good and feel special. God however clothed himself in humanity, took on bodily form in Jesus, so that we could see him face to face. He is clothed in splendour and majesty, creating everything so that we could enjoy His exquisiteness. Ladies from the worship team led us as we sang songs to acknowledge God’s glory. Afterwards the ladies shared amongst themselves the special mementos that they had brought.
