October 2012 NEWS & ACTIVITIES
Hello Ladies
Well ladies another month has past by so quickly, I
sometimes find myself wondering why time spins by so
fast. I remember being 21-22 years old and it seemed to
take forever for the next birthday to arrive; now I can’t
seem to stop one birthday and I have another one
around the corner. The birthdays keep coming as does
the years. Time does not stop unfortunately, not leaving
us much time to spread God’s love in all we do.
There are many ways to share God’s love, one way I
know of is to invite you to come and see what Ladies
Guild is about and see what we do on a daily basis for
our fellow brothers and sisters at St Laurence and
through out our community. We need your help, we
have a lot of love to share and time is passing us by!!!
Share God’s love, smile!!!
OOM PAH!
