Women's Day

Women's Day
Every year, around April, there is a Nationwide Women's Retreat near Rome. The women here love to get together and see their friends this weekend every year but last year the women in the Tuscany area decided they wanted to get together more often. It was great to see everyone once a year, but we all live so close, why shouldn't we get together more? So, everyone decided there would be days throughout the year that all the Tuscan women would get together and share a day of fellowship.

Since then, there have been 3 "Women's Days". The first meeting was just for organizational purposes and that was hosted at the Bible School. The first real meeting was in Pistoia in July and there were over 20 women! Laura, Ermenita and I took the train to Prato and then some of the ladies from Prato took us to the meeting because it was at one of the church member's houses. We had a great time of fellowship and singing and sharing.

The second meeting was just recently in Prato and there were over 20 women again with games and singing, and this time, we all came prepared with a written out "speech" about who is someone that has influenced your faith, in the Bible or otherwise. There were tears and there was laughter, which makes for a great day! I look forward to the next time we all get together again.
