Thursday was the last workday for the Ladies Tea next Saturday. The Tea Committee and one of the other chaplains wife and daughter spent the day at Candice's house finishing up the last minute stuff. We had 3 stations with projects.
Candice left us with a "to-do" list and left to go to Eternal Grounds coffee shop for a live interview in regards to the tea. Till she came back, we were done!! :)
The "station" below was were I worked most of the time. We put labels on the 200 sponsor bags, added a ribbon to the handle and then stuffed it with tissue paper.
The girls worked at putting labels on water bottles and then at another station they put tea bags, sugar and a pen in a little drawstring bag to put placed at each place setting. It's going to be a pretty tea! Can't wait!!

Danny and Logan spent a good part of the day on the 4-wheelers. Danny is excited about the fact that this 4-wheeler will be his whenever we can get it to Blountstown. We really need to buy a hitch for one of our vehicles! :P

In case you are new to my blog, or haven't ever heard about the Ladies Tea, I will tell you a bit about it.
The organization that Dan and I are with, Gospel Express Ministries South {GEMS} is a prison ministry that places missionary chaplains into prisons in North Florida.
A couple years back, Candice Nissley came on board , feeling the call to help with fundraising. She has hosted a Ladies Tea fundraiser and a Banquet fundraiser every March and September for the last few years. Apart from the annual auction in November, these are the two biggest fundraising events for the ministry.
Because of her efforts, we have been able to support more chaplains. God is really blessing the ministry and it seems like some big things are happening this year!! :)
So, this is the 6th Annual Ladies Tea! The tea consists of a full course meal, a silent auction, games, a speaker, inmate testimony's and of course TEA! :)
This year's theme is "With God all Things are Possible" and will be centered around the story of the bumblebee. Scientists cannot explain how such a big bee can fly with such small wings.....with God...all things are possible.
The colors are black and white damask and yellow highlights.
Please "Like" our page on facebook! :) Thanks!! Even if you don't live close enough to attend, you can support us in prayer! Pray for the chaplains as they spend 5 days a week in the prisons, that more lives can be brought into God's kingdom!!
