Leaves are falling....

Hello everyone!

Our meeting on Saturday went really well.We did a great job practicing Holy is The Lord with Lisa Lynne.We are off to a great start with the choir and we will let you know the date we'll be singing in Presence.

The girls watched a video titled Tiny Tears. This video shows Nikki's Place - Agape Home for babies and children with HIV/AIDS located on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, Thailand. We learned the inspiring story of a 14 year old girl named Bow. Bow was born HIV+ and with multiple facial deformities. We were all touched by the fact that despite all the challenges she faces Bow has a positive outlook on life.She has hopes and dreams. We were inspired by the love and commitment of Avis and Roy Rideout (founders of Nikki's Place) and amazed at what God is doing through their lives. We suggest you to check their web-site @ www.nikkisplace.org to learn more about this wonderful place. Also if you google Bow's story in Thailand you'll have a chance tho learn more about her.

We would like to thank Nancy Persons (the missionary from Thailand) who blessed us this week with wonderful stories of God's work in Thailand and for sharing the video with us.

We thought it would be fun for the girls to taste food from Thailand and most of them truly enjoyed it. We served spring rolls, vegetable dumplings and beef/chicken satay. As usual they were very hungry!

Apple Picking!

It was one of the best outings we've had. Although it wasn't a sunny day, God blessed us with the warmth that comes from being in a circle of friends. The girls laughed, prayed, worshiped and of course played together throughout the morning.
They sounded beautiful as they sang Holy Is The Lord on the hay ride to the orchard.
You can check the pictures and see for yourself what a great time we had.

We thank the Lord for what He is doing in our midst. We pray that we'll grow closer to Him and each other and that Circle of Friends will always be a place where every girl feels loved and encouraged.

God bless you all. See you on October 24th at 3:00PM
