Encounter's 2011 Women's Brunch

This morning was a real delight as I was able to attend our women's brunch. Why was I, a mere man, allowed to gain entrance into the hollowed halls of these women??? Well, my wife Melissa called me and asked if I could valet cars b/c it was raining:-) I also held a baby and sat with the guest speakers husband and father. I was moral support for those two guys since they were total strangers in a sea of women.
It was really neat to see our Encounter ladies and guests interact. There must have been almost 70 women there altogether. The food was great and the speaker did an excellent job talking about forgiveness.

This morning while I slept in, my sweetheart was working hard on the last minute details of our second women's brunch. Last year they had approx. 35 in attendance and this year was close to double that. The speaker was Chery Boehm. She has been coaching Melissa for the last two years in light of her being a church planters wife. The ladies used the same location as last year: Bridgewater Banquet & Conf. Center, which did a great job taking care of many of the details so our ladies could connect with the large number of visitors. Melissa read some of the things women wrote on the comment cards and it sounded like they really enjoyed themselves.
