HG Women’s Small Group dinner & planning mtg.


Hi ladies,
I think it’s time for us to regroup and discuss our format, meeting times, and study topics moving forward into Spring and Summer. I suggest we get together and make dinner at my place to discuss these items and just take some time to catch up.
How does taco salad night sound to everyone? I’ve made an evite to track who’s bringing what, so if you’re interested in coming, send me an email and I’ll forward you the evite!
Tuesday, March 9th 7:00 p.m.
The Dale’s house: 3800 Florence Dr. Apt. 4 Alexandria
Hope to see you Tuesday!

Chirilagua Women’s Group Fundraiser


Hello everyone!
Women from our intentional community, Casa Chirilagua, are holding another fundraiser for our annual women’s retreat for the monthly group, Mujeres de Virtud (Women of Virtue). Last year, 6 women from Chirilagua were able to attend the event, and this year there are 25 women signed up!
All year the women have been working hard to raise funds to be able to go on the retreat, including a tamale sale, a yard sale and a lunch catering event, but they’re still short on funds.
The women came up with their own idea for one more fundraiser: a raffle – Honduran style. This is how it works. There are one hundred numbers (1-100).  To buy a number costs $5. On Sunday March 7th, a number will be drawn in Honduras based on the lottery there.  We will use that same winning number here (the women pick it up from the internet or from phone calls). If your number is drawn, you win the Power Juicer, worth $100 (also the women’s idea). The goal is to sell all 100 tickets so that we can have a $400 profit.
So… my question is who is interested in supporting the women and possibly winning a power juicer??? Email me if you’d like to buy a ticket or simply donate a few bucks for the event. Cash is the preferred method of donation, but if you really need a tax receipt, we can set that up through the non-profit.
Thanks so much for your support and prayers… we are praying not only that will we be able to raise the funds to cover all the costs, but that God will use this retreat to refresh, renew and strengthen the women.
MUCHAS GRACIAS!

It’s not too late to join HG women’s small group

Hi ladies,

I wanted to send out a reminder that we’re starting our series on the miracles of Jesus tonight at Holy Grounds women’s small group. If you haven’t had a chance to come yet but have been thinking about it, now would be a good time to start as we’re beginning our scripture studies and more structured time tonight.

If you want to read ahead, I found a page online that has the passages from the gospels that cover the miracle of Jesus healing Peter’s mother-in-law: http://bit.ly/7K6TXO I can’t vouch for the interpretation below it, but I can vouch for the scripture passages. ;)

Here is my address (within the Eaton Square Apt Complex):
3800 Florence Drive Apt 4
Alexandria, VA 22305

ABOUT PARKING: we found out the hard way last week (so sorry Lauren…) that there are limited parking spaces for visitors without permits. I recommend you look for a space on W Glebe Rd along the townhouses across the street. If there are no spaces there, the only place you can park without getting towed is in the lot, to the right of the leasing office BUT only along the back side, where there should be spots clearly marked indicating they are visitor spots that don’t require a permit (I’m told there are 24 spots). Don’t be fooled by the other ‘visitor’ lots, you have to have a permit to park there. If you have any questions about parking just give me a call and I’m happy to run down there and help you find a spot.

See you all tonight at 7:30pm!

Women’s Small Group Tonight

Hi ladies,

Just a reminder… we’re having women’s small group tonight at 7:30pm at our new apartment in Chirilagua. For those of you who don’t know where Chirilagua is, no worries… it’s still in Alexandria and easy to get to. :)

Also, I think today might be the day we actually start studying the bible! So come prepared to discuss the miracles of Jesus (hopefully).

Email me if you need directions: sarahedale at gmail.com

NEW Holy Grounds Women’s Small Group

While the odd name “small group” has become sort of a church-y expression, it’s the best thing I’ve got for the moment. With that said… Emily and I would like to start a new Holy Grounds Women’s Small Group-Bible Study-Fellowship-Girly Hang Out Time-Accountability-and-Fun-Group!

If you’re interested, please share thoughts with us through email (emilywismer AT gmail.com, sarahedale AT gmail.com) or this Sunday at Holy Grounds or next Tuesday at our Planning Dinner.

Planning Dinner

We’ll meet at my (Sarah’s) house and make dinner together (yes, together–it will be a community effort! ;) and then take the time to pray together and talk about what we’d like our group to be like, when we’d like to meet, what our purposes are, etc. etc.

When: Tuesday, October 27, 7:00pm
Where: Sarah’s house: 307 N Fayette St, Alexandria, VA
What to bring: Please sign up to bring one of the following things:

- Italian bread (for making garlic bread)
- Lettuce/greens for a salad
- Black olives
- Tomatoes (also for the salad)
- Dessert (if we want there to be dessert)
- Anything else you want to add in

I’ll take care of the pastas/sauces.

Hope to see you there!

Sarah
