During the school year my church has a ladies meeting one evening a month [we take a break through the summer months].
We read missionary letters. which can help us pray better for them.
We have a project. This month was Thanksgiving baskets for the older members of our church. We also have projects such as making goodie bags for the bus children and gift bags for the missionaries scheduled to come through during the year.
We have a devotion given by a different sweet lady each month. 
This month we were challenged to really and truly deny ourselves for the cause of Christ. 
I am thankful for this sweet time of fellowship. It is refreshing and rejuvenating. both emotionally and spiritually.
