WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING IN WOMENS MINISTRIES! By Vicki Marsh


anymore. After 30 years in my house, I had not realized how much stuff I had kept and what I could have done with it earlier! As my process of the “Big Clean Out” continued, I became a frequent visitor to the library (so many boxes of books!), Goodwill, and Habitat for Humanity. Whenever I heard of someone at church who needed household goods, I invited them over to get anything that they could use.

All brought things that they did not wear or need anymore and all were encouraged to take what they could use. Women’s Ministries is not always about money. It was a project that helped them fellowship and unclutter their lives. As for me, my house sold in 24 hours, I have moved, and I am STILL unpacking boxes. It might be time for me to start decluttering again! I hope you are making plans to attend the ARPWM Annual Meeting at Bonclarken on October 12th!?

ver a year ago, I was asked if I might be interested in renting my house to the Meberg family for a month before they left for France and ultimately for me to have it ready to sell so I could move to Greenville, SC, where my family lives. I agreed as it would give me that extra push to begin getting rid of things that I really did not need
