Women's Run for Mercy

2008-08-29T12:27:00Z

Run for Mercy is annual event designed to raise funds for the Mercy Ministries home in St. Louis, Missouri. Mercy Ministries is a nonprofit organization designed to meet the needs of young women ages 13 - 28 facing life-controlling problems such as eating disorders, abusive relationship patterns, addictions, and depression. This year's run will be September 20, from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM. There is a $20 registration fee. If you are interested in joining other women from Rooftop at this event, contact Cindy Mills: (314) 729-0842 / onesister3@charter.net. Or for more info on the run, check out http://www.runformercy.org/

A Note from Cindy:
Mercy has three homes for troubled girls in the U.S. and several overseas. One opened in Fenton about 3 years ago, and I've been volunteering there since the first of the year. It serves girls ages 13 to 28 who are dealing with issues such as abuse, addictions, eating disorders, self-harm etc. The girls live at the home free-of-charge and spend their time studying the Bible and meeting with counselors, among other things. The average stay is 9 months, and almost all of them leave completely changed. It's an incredible ministry. (file:///C:/www.MercyMinistries.org, if you're interested)

Women's Winery Trip

2008-08-15T00:00:00Z

We will be taking a trip to a beautiful winery in the Pevely-Hillsboro area - Villa Antonio Winery. It's only 30 min. south of the church. Don't like wine? That's ok... keep reading! The trip isn't really about the wine; it's about getting together with a great group of women, relaxing in a country setting and having great conversation. The winery allows you to bring in food/picnic baskets. They also have a very nice menu to order from. They do not allow outside beverages/coolers, but for those that aren't wine drinkers; they have soda, water, beer and iced tea. We will plan on getting there at noon and the live band starts at 1:00. If you would be interested in carpooling, please contact Michelle Thayer to let her know. She will then coordinate everyone carpooling and provide directions. For more info about the winery and directions go to http://www.villaantoniowinery.com/ For more info, contact Michelle Thayer: (314) 517-8526 / shelly.thayer@gmail.com

Women's Frontyard Features

2008-05-23T16:00:00Z

Come watch Evan Almighty under the stars at Francis Park Saturday, June 28th, starting at 7:30 PM.

Here is the plan...bring your girlfriends and head to Francis Park at 7:30 PM. Bring snacks to share, if you'd like. We'll hang out, eat, drink and get to know others. The movie will start at sunset on a huge blow up screen. What's better than watching a movie under the stars? You can stay for just the pre-movie hang-out time, come for just the movie, or do BOTH!
