It was cold and rainy last Saturday but that did not stop 130 women from coming to attend the ladies' meeting of the Curitiba churches (SOPASBRE). It was held at Igreja Batista Vitória, where we attend. Look at all the cars in the church parking lot! It's a beautiful sight. There were ladies from almost all of our sister churches. In spite of the cold weather, a special warmth was there as we sang and fellowshipped together. Look at how everyone is bundled up! Of course, the time of greeting each other helped to warm us, too! The special speaker was our missionary colleague, Ellen Farlow. She gave a wonderful devotional about having our lives strong on the Rock, Jesus Christ. We completed the time together by having some canjica, which is made from corn. In this case it also had sweetened condensed milk and peanuts. Here Marilsa and Lia help to stir the big pots of canjica. Vanessa dips some out for me to taste-test. Oh yes, I'll gladly do that for you...! It was the perfect food to help warm everyone up. Little lembrancinhas which the Vitória ladies made were given to each woman who attended, beautiful little bookmarkers to remember this special event. At each of these meetings (about 3 times per year) a special project is done. This time it was to bring gifts to give to Laura and Giovanna, the young daughters of a pastor in São Paulo, who lost their mother to the swine flu last year. It was so touching to see the table filled to overflowing with gifts from all of these women who have a tender and loving mother's heart.
