Theme and Ideas to go with...

Mexican Food.

I know how to decorate, and we do not support any missions in Mexico, so what might I do to tie a theme into this!

We used Mexican Food for our "Winter Warm Up" ladies night out this past January. This event was to have our ladies supply the homeless and battered women's shelter with winter gear such as socks, hats, gloves, gently used coats, etc. Each lady was requested to bring their favorite Mexican dish to help with costs. Surprisingly, no one brought the same thing. We also used this night to send cards of thanks to those who had touched our lives and to workers in our church we notice and want to thank. It was a successful night.

We've also used Chili for this event in the past. We had 4 or 5 women bring crockpots of chili and others to bring crackers or cornbread (for us in the south).

Hope this idea help out.

Go with Christ!

cre8ted4praiz,
I have ideas for a Mexican Theme but don't have it on the site. "Living The Grande Life". The devotional I have written for it is "Life's Pinata", basically about how what's on the inside will come spilling out of us when the world "whacks" on us. I'll go dig that out of my files for you and get back with you.

peace,
Loved your ideas. Very creative

Thank you sooo much!!! I think this will work out well.

I am very encouraged by the board. I'm "glad" to know that other's seem to struggle with their groups as well. We have some great women, but most are flighty and not really dedicated to the church and such.
