Holiday Happiness

Tis the Season for

HOLIDAY HAPPINESS!

December's luncheon was filled with holiday joy and festivities! The Pebble Creek Country Club was full of beautiful Christmas decorations.

Mary Sue and Pat are wonderful greeters with beautiful smiles.

SOS Ministries gave the Christian Women's Connection an opportunity to give Christmas gifts to the 65 girls in the ministry. Women from the CWC drew the name of a teenage girl and went shopping! Carmen Sifuentz attended the luncheon and received all the gifts to deliver to the teenagers. The girls will unwrap the gifts on Thursday night December the 16th!

Local entertainer, Mark Taylor performed beautiful Christmas songs on the piano including White Christmas and Oh Holy Night. The ladies joined him to sing Silent Night and Jingle Bells!

Pebble Creek served a variety of salads, a vegetable medley, salmon, chicken breast, and dinner rolls.

Dessert deserved it's own picture. Triple layered chocolate cake!

The fellowship between the women of Christian Women's Connection is one of the best parts of the luncheon!

Speaker for the luncheon, Sharon Braner from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, was joined by her friend of over 20 years, Deanne Beck from the Woodlands.

Sharon's talk "What is your Life's Song" was quite entertaining as recalled titles of songs from the past and songs of the present. She described times in her life when her "song" was Hee-Haw's "Gloom Despair and Agony On Me..." The lyrics of her song changed when she developed a relationship with Christ that filled her with peace, contentment, and happiness!

November's Roadtip at Hilltop Lakes

The Bryan/College Station Christian Women's Connection took a ROAD TRIP to Hilltop Lakes for November's luncheon! We have a great group of ladies from Hilltop Lakes faithfully join us at Pebble Creek Country Club, our normal luncheon location in College Station, so we decided to go visit them at their beautiful small community which they like to call Heaven.

Vehicles were the theme of the luncheon and this cool ride was parked out front with a sign showing us which way to enter.
The ladies of Hilltop Lakes decorated the beautiful lodge with fall decorations to get us all in a Thanksgiving mood.

As always, we enjoy good visits and fellowship before the luncheon begins! Of course, we're women!
Chicken breast, steamed vegetables, a side salad, and dinner rolls were served for lunch. Dessert was a slice of shortcake with blackberry toppings. The lodge at Hilltops sure knows how to treat us well!

Our feature was Ms. Texas Senior Sarah Senter of Red Oak Texas. Sarah spoke of her journeys and adventures while she wore the crown in 2009!

Our speaker, Donna Bogema of Danbury, was accompanied by her fried Mary Jean Adams. Donna brought a wonderful message and reminded us of the importance of the choices we make everyday. Donna owns a house in Hilltops and visits as frequently as she is able with her family.

See you next month for a very Merry Christmas Luncheon!

Over the Rainbow Luncheon

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the book The Wizard of Oz, the theme of this month's outreach luncheon was "Over the Rainbow". The very talented Joan Unfred designed this wonderful pillow and quilt as a decoration and door prize!
We had special guests with us to help us celebrate: the Scarecrow, the Lion, Dorothy, and even Toto (in Dorothy's basket)!


As always, Pebble Creek Country Club served us a wonderful meal. Yesterday's meal consisted of various salads, green beans, mashed potatoes, pork loin, and chicken breast.
To continue to the celebration of the book's anniversary, the ladies participated in a book exchange. Any extra books will be given to SOS Ministries.

Our lovely speaker, Barbara Yancey, shared with us her testimony of growing up in a difficult environment and having the faith and courage to overcome her past. Her granddaughter, Emily Yancey, was also able to leave class a bit early to join us!
