Bread for the Journey

Two years ago the 10 of us girls met together for our first summit.
It was the first time we all met in person, and gathered around the table together.
Our story began when Lovella put out an invitation to submit a recipe to her personal blog.
At first it was just a fun way to share our favourite Mennonite and other family recipes.
Little did we know that God would soon turn our love for cooking and baking into a ministry.
It was around that table in August 2010 we celebrated God's leading and the gift of friendship.





This past week we gathered for our second summit...a 'sister reunion'.

We share a love of cooking and hospitality , but more importantly we all love Jesus. It's our faith in God that has given us unity and purpose as we use the gifts God has uniquely given to each one of us. 


We have become sisters....sisters in the Lord.

It's a joy to serve the Lord together and to be able to share our faith individually and as a group of women, through the ministry God has given us.

I heard a song some time ago called Women of Faith.
As I listened to the words it was like they had been written for us.

*****


Women of faith
United in God's love
Sisters in grace.
Looking to Jesus to lead us each day.
We are women,
women of faith.

We are bound in love for one another.
We share faith in God
and we're committed to each other.
We are sisters in Christ Jesus, desiring to serve.
Leaning on God's promises, standing on His word.

(by Jamie Harvill, Steve Arterburn)

I Peter 4:9-10
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
