Last Saturday we ladies of Abundant Life Bible Church held our first Friendship Tea. The idea was for each of us to invite a friend who doesn't know the Lord. Many invited friends, but only five came! This is very typical. They always promise, "Yes! I'll be there!" and then don't show! But we were glad for the five who came. Our American friend, Kristin, came and had a delightful time! We set up the tables in Tina's yard and everything looked so festive. Our program included singing along with our worship team, drawings for prizes, a talk by Bethie and me on the Resurrection Eggs, a fun craft where we made a heart basket, prizes for our invited guests, and lots of delicious food! Mole (pronounced moh-lay) sandwiches, other fancy sandwiches, a fruit cup, tiny cupcakes, butterfly cookies and of course lots of soda pop! We DID serve sweet tea as well, but our Mexican friends are big on SODA POP! "They" say that Mexico has one of the highest uses of sugar in the world - and I'm sure most of it is in the soda pop! Our Friendship Tea was a huge success and encouraged us to look forward to what fun activity we'll dream up next!
