Monday, September 10th we kicked off the school year with our first Connecting Point event, Project: Connect.  With over 100 ladies we enjoyed refreshments from local businesses, tons of giveaways, sweet worship time and we had the opportunity hear from Mrs. Charlotte Akin and Denise O'Donoghue.  Check out the pictures below from the event!

 

 

Mrs. Akin and Denise did a Q&A and answered some fun and tough questions from those who attended the event.  Didn't get your question answered? Don't despair,  we will be doing a blog where you can submit your questions to Mrs. Akin and Denise in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out and send in any questions you have for them.

Local restaurants donated some yummy treats for the event including Chick-fil-A, Milton's, Palsies and even our own cafe on campus, The Court, donated some of their famous fruit salad.  We wish that we could have taken a picture of the food at the end of the night because the chicken nugget tray was empty!  Needless to say, we all left with full stomachs.





The main goal of this event was to network the female students and spouses with each other & the Wake Forest area.  At the event we also heard from Debbie Ladd of the Share Shop/Manna Ministry, Tracy Crisp from Bay Leaf Baptist Church Toy Chest, and Sheena Sam &Cherie Scholes on the Ladies Fitness Classes on campus. If you would like more information on how you can get connected to any of these ministries please let us know.  We were able to give over 20 door prizes, and everyone left with a goodie bags.

Mark your calendars for the next Connecting Point Event coming up Monday, October 22nd Project: Community.  At this event we will focus on connecting you to local organizations that are reaching the international community here in the RDU area.  World Relief and SIT will be sharing ways to get involved with their ministries.  As always there will be refreshments, good times, and giveaways! 

Come join fellow students, faculty, and staff on the quad (between Binkley and Stealey)
this Monday, September 17 at 5:00 p.m. for games, free food, and fun at our 2012 Fall Cookout! Bring your lawn chair, blanket, and yard games (volleyball, football, kickball and more) for a great evening of fellowship.   

Are you interested in participating in our Craft & Bake Sale this year?  Register today by completing the application and bringing it to the Women's Life Office.  You might be asking yourself why you should participate?  Let us tell you why you should!

After paying the table fee(s), whatever money you make is the money you keep. This event is designed to help “lighten the load” on seminary families during the holiday season. Table fee(s) are $6.00 per table, and $10 per table with electricity. 

Being a part of the Craft & Bake Sale will provide an opportunity to represent and reflect Christ to those in the community who may not know God in a real and personal way. Please be prayerful for the people you will come in contact with that weekend, for some may need to be shown and told about the love of Christ, our sweet Savior!!!

Are you asking yourself this question?  Whether you are a returning student or spouse, or brand new to the area this is a common question we hear in the Women's Life Office. 

Guess what? 

We have an answer for you!  

Connecting Point is a great place for you to meet other students, spouses, faculty wives, and female staff here on campus at SEBTS.  The purpose of Connecting Point is to connect you to each other and the world around you.  At our first event our goal is to network the female students and spouses with each other & the Wake Forest area.  We will feature ministries of the school, food from local businesses, as well as have a Q&A time with Mrs. Akin & Denise O’Donoghue.
 

We are already praying for this event and all of the ladies that will attend!  Invite your neighbors, classmates, and any other SEBTS ladies you know!  It's going to be a blast!
