2009 Convention ~ Free Indeed ~ Outreach Projects ~ How You Can Help!
We want to let the greater Dallas area know that Jesus sets every woman Free Indeed. We are planning a God in Shoes outreach ministry to let the community know that Seventh-day Adventist women care about hurting and disadvantaged women and their children. Part of this outreach effort will include passing out "Bags of Love" which will contain various items for women and children specifically. One hand-made blanket will be included in the "Bags of Love". We need the help of Texas Women's Ministries groups to make the bags and the blankets for this exciting outreach!
Included in the next two blog posts are the directions for making the "Bags" and "Blankets". Someone in your church may also choose to purchase a cute bag to contain the items instead of making the bag.
We would encourage the church to put a small tag on the bag saying, “For you with Jesus’ love from the ‘your church name’ Seventh-day Adventist Church.” You can participate in this caring project even if you are unable to attend the NAD Women’s Convention by sending your bags to the conference office.
Ship to following address to arrive by September 15, 2009:
NAD Women’s Convention
c/o Tim Arkusinski
Southwestern Union Conference of SDA
777 S. Burleson Blvd.
Burleson, TX 76028
We will make sure your donations are delivered. You and your ladies can also be part of delivering the bags, by signing up for the “God In Shoes” outreach when you register for the convention through http://www.nadwm.org/.
Please call or email us with the age group (women or children) and number of bags your Women’s Ministries Committee/Church will make: Lynn Ripley 512 670-6377, lripley@txsda.org or Cheryl Allgood 817-783-2223 x210, callgood@txsda.org The bags should be completed and delivered to the conference office by September 15 or taken to the Hilton Anatole Hotel by Thursday morning, September 24, 2009.
Thank you for your caring hearts that willingly serve others!

Attention Dallas Fort Worth Area Women’s Ministries!
If you are located in the area near the Dallas Hilton Anatole Hotel where the NAD Women’s Convention “Free Indeed” will take place Sept 25-27, 2009. There will be a Friday Outreach Ministry Trip to Women's Shelters and Children's Hospitals. Friday, September 25, 2009 (8:30 am-1:00 pm). This “God In Shoes” will take us out into the community to serve others.
Our prayer is that hearts will be served and touched with a new understanding of the love of Jesus. We are also praying that there will be an ongoing ministry that develops out of this first contact.
Would your Women’s Ministries Committee be willing to serve one of the outreach locations on a regular basis as one of your ministries initiatives?
Please reply to Lynn Ripley at lynnripley@gmail.com or 512-670-6377 if you would like more information!
