What a blessing it was to attend the Ladies Tea at Grace United Methodist Church (UMC) in Lee's Summit earlier this month! Tom and I have been to fine restaurants where we didn't receive as much delightful service.
It was a pleasure to watch and listen to the women as they worked together setting tables, and arranging sweets and savory treats. I was surprised to learn it was only their third annual tea. It was obvious they had worked together on other projects, and were focused on a common goal.

It didn't take Annalyn and I long to set up our book signing table. We had fun shopping the other vendors and came away with a couple of Christmas gifts for my big girls.
As the guests began arriving, the organizers were very cordial and made sure Annalyn and I had our own plate of goodies, and plenty to drink. Fancy finger foods . . . yum!

Jesus took the five loaves and two fish. He looked up to the sky and thanked God for the food. Then he broke the bread into pieces, which he gave to his followers to distribute to the people. Then he divided the two fish among everyone there.

 I think Annalyn did a super job snapping this of our table and new friends! | The service and food were terrific. Having the most book sales of any of my book signings was pretty sweet.(Order your Christmas copies of Life with Bobby and Bonnie today for those special kids in your life.) The absolute best part was meeting some amazing new friends, like Roxana and her granddaughter, Aiden. |
The ladies at Grace UMC certainly did show their church is appropriately named. Annalyn and I had a wonderful time, and are only sad we'll have to wait a year for their next one.
In the meantime, if your church or organization is hosting a gathering or bazaar that welcomes vendors, I'd love to hear from you. The only thing better than sharing the gospel, is getting to know God's children!

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him. And he will eat with me.
