Listening, Loving, Learning, Living

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver."  - Proverbs 25:11

Titus 2: 3-5
3: The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4: That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5: To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

The Apples of Gold mentoring program provides an opportunity for older women in the church to nurture younger women by looking into God's word, cooking, and eating together.  Each session lasts six weeks and covers six principles found in Scripture, using the lessons outlined in the book by Betty Huizenga.

Each session includes one hour of cooking class, one hour of Bible study, and a fellowship hour enjoying the food that was prepared in class.  The six lessons are:

1. Kindness
2. Loving Your Husband
3. Loving Your Children
4. Submission
5. Purity
6. Hospitality

Lasting friendships are made through the ministry of Apples of Gold.

The Sweet Springs Baptist Apples of Gold will be offering a session in the fall of 2009.  The program will run seven consecutive weeks on Tuesday evenings from 5:45pm-9:00pm.  A final celebration meal with husbands will be on a Saturday.  If you are interested in being a part of something that will change your life, please call Barb Shipp at 660-263-5163 or email her at bjs@howardelectricwb.com.  A link below provides you with more information about the Apples of Gold program.
