On September 1, 2011 Tulsa OK PressPause p.s.46.10 will be ONE year old! My, how time flies! It was one year ago that the Broken Arrow CWC birthed this baby. Several committee members gathered on that day at the home of Joan Beavers for a baby shower/announcement/birth! It was a delightful experience and we all felt the nervous jitters new parents and grandparents often encounter. No one knew where this baby was heading, how she would grow and mature or where she would end up! Yesterday PressPause celebrated their one year anniversary with the Tulsa #2 group as they reminisced about many, many years of ministry and gathered for their last meeting under that name. Birthday cupcakes, balloons and party favors were shared with the ladies of all four Tulsa Stonecroft groups that attended the meeting at the Indian Springs Country Club of Broken Arrow. It seemed so appropriate to honor those fabulous women of past years of Stonecroft ministry and celebrate this new baby at the same time.
We've checked the baby's pluse and vital signs and are happy to report that she is up and walking! During the past 12 months PressPause has been invited to TEN different businesses, homes, country clubs, a school, a retirement community, a bookstore, etc. and served over 270 people with 200 of those folks attending a Stonecroft event for the first time. "Too many to count" copies of the Gospel of John printed in partnership through the Pocket Testament League and Stonecroft were voluntarily picked up. Hearts were softened as the Gospel of Jesus Christ was presented every time. Several different Stonecroft speakers volunteered their time, voice and details of their lives. What a great year this has been!
The PressPause calendar is filling up for this next year and we couldn't be happier about it. New venues and partnerships are being explored.
Recently several CWC committee members have inquired about the popular topic of Human Trafficking wondering if it is appropriate for the traditional CWC meetings, so we've organized a free event for anyone that would like to preview this PowerPoint presentation in a smaller setting. (Men can come too.) If you're in the area and interested, you're welcome to PressPause from your busy life and consider how the person of Jesus Christ offers freedom for all of us....freedom from the slavery and power of sin.
