Apples of Gold
"A nurturing program for women."
"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home; to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God." —Titus 2:3-5, NIV
Ladies, we are excited to begin a new year of “Apples of Gold”! This year we will be offering a Fall and Spring session. Both sessions will use the same book so choose which session works best with your schedule. The Fall session will run from September to November with meetings on the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month. (See meeting schedule.) The Spring session will run from January to March. The meetings will be in the same format as previous years with cooking instruction, Bible study, eating and fellowship. We will be going through the book Because He Loves Me by Elyse Fitzpatrick. The cost to register is $18 which includes your folder and food. You can purchase the book in the Colonial bookstore. This session is open for both old and new “Apples.” Singles are encouraged to join any group. Registration for the Fall session is August 8th, 15th and 22nd. We are only offering three homes this time with strict cut offs on size. So be sure to register early to get your preferred location!

What our ladies are saying….
“I enjoyed all of it, the cooking demonstrations, Bible studies, fellowship and being pampered. (No dishes!) Thanks for all your hard work.”
“God has truly blessed my life through this ministry. Not only did I get to hear God’s word but see it in action thru the mentors and ‘apples’.”
“I think the meetings were a great model of Titus 2. All the mentors were open, loving and encouraging to us, as well as challenging us to evaluate ourselves and make our relationship with Christ first.”
“I loved it! Having assigned seats and topics at dinner was great because it allowed for fellowship with people I may not have gotten to know otherwise. I loved the emphasis on healthful eating and the way the verses in Titus 2 were developed in practical ways. The mentors were wonderful! Thank you!”
“The cooking methods and recipes were very practical. It was an excellent time to meet and get to know other ladies. I liked the mixture of younger and older women who were the ‘apples.’ It brought insight into the discussion and studies.”
