we have so many gals in this house, we host our own women's events.

I think I have mentioned before that the kids sometimes host their own church services on Sunday nights: Biblica Church has a worship team, rotating pastors, pre-printed programs, communion, an offering box, and has even done baptisms.  It's all very involved but surprisingly well executed.

Biblica has just added its first extra-Sunday ministry events: Friday night Women's Events, where all the Van Voorst ladies get to sit around under soft, ambient lighting, drinking tea, singing worship songs, and listening to a teaching.  The event's host/leader/teacher is none other than Penelope, who has taken on all the planning and execution of each event.  She has has thought through and prepared a teaching each time - my favorite was one she gave on three different kinds of women: soft (weak) women, hard women, and Biblical women.

What a privilege it is to have daughters, and what a blessing it is to have a daughter who organizes things like this for us to do together.  The current plan is to hold these events every other Friday night, and I am so excited to see this new tradition grow as the girls grow, and for the memories that I'm sure we'll be storing away!
