Mark your Calendars!


Hola Chicas!

Ok - everybody get out your calendars...got 'em? Now...mark March 10th as the day the spring session of Church 4 Chicks begins! That's right - it's almost that time again! We are all so excited about this new season of C4C! God has given Shelley a brand new series on relationships that she will be sharing with us for our 8-week study. Get ready for some rockin' praise and worship music, inspiring Bible teaching and meeting new friends!

We are also in need of volunteers. Please prayerfully consider joining our team! If you would like more info on becoming a volunteer or would like to attend our next planning meeting, please leave a comment or email us at atlantaencounter@shelleyhendrix.com.

Please keep checking back on the blog as we will be updating it weekly!

We hope to see all of you soon!

We're back from the 1st Annual Cruise 4 Chicks!!


Hello Chicks!!
Michele Harkins, one of our own Church 4 Chicks gals, did an amazing job coordinating and organizing the 1st Annual Cruise 4 Chicks this past weekend!
Jenifer and I were truly blessed to be a part of such a special, God-ordained and blessed event with such incredible women. I love when God brings diversity to a group. It reminds me of what Heaven will be like--different ages, backgrounds, denominations, and skin tones. :-)

Shelley, Jenifer and Beth in Port Canaveral before the cruise...

Recognize any other Church 4 Chicks' friends?





Thank you to every single person and to our Great God who made this past weekend so memorable and so valuable to me. Wow--I can hardly believe it has already come and gone! If you're on FaceBook, there are a bunch of pictures on there from the different cruisers, so be sure to check those out.

We are considering moving forward with the On-Line Bible Study and will pick up with Chapters 5 and 6 next week if there are some ladies interested in moving forward with us and/or joining in with us. So, read through Chapter 6 by Tuesday, January 20 and there will be an updated post in relation to those chapters that day right here.

If you were on the cruise, please feel free to leave comments to the other readers and let us know what the weekend meant to you.

Also, one last thing--mark your calendars now for next year's Cruise 4 Chicks. It will be sometime in September 2010. We would be honored if you'd join us!

Just Checking in...

Jenifer and Shelley in Florida over Christmas Break

Hello Ladies!

It seems like forever since I've updated this blog or even my own blog. What a wonderful, full, and seemingly BRIEF Christmas Season! Every year it goes by faster, doesn't it? I can't believe it's already time to put all the decorations away...which I'll be doing most of today.

I am really excited about getting back to the swing of things with ministry and specifically with The Atlanta Encounter~"Church 4 Chicks!" I hope you'll continue to tell your friends about C4C which begins again for 8 weeks on March 10. We will be putting some planning meetings on the calendar soon, so check back HERE for those updates.

As for the Blog Bible Study....I'm trying to decide whether we need to continue with it and so I'm going to leave that up to our blog readers to decide. We haven't had much discussion on the blog, so I'm not really sure who is keeping up with the study and who isn't. I just want to be a careful steward of my time and I know Jenifer feels the same. It may be that the majority of readers are reading the book on their own without leaving feedback on the blog--which is fine--but the purpose of doing this on the blog was to build community so we could learn from each other. I'll give it until Tuesday, the 6th, to hear from you and will make a decision then about whether we'll continue with the study on here or not.

We'll definitely keep the blog updated, though, with info on the upcoming season and events of the Spring Church 4 Chicks. I'm very excited about a brand-new series that God has surprised me with. I'll give more info soon so keep checking back.

By the way, I'm scheduled to host Atlanta Live on WATC 57 on January 27 from 7-9 p.m. and it will re-air on January 28 from 7-9 a.m. I hope you'll watch!

Happy New Year Chicks!!

Shelley
