Apples of Gold
We are excited to offer this mentoring program for young women each Fall and Spring at First Southern Baptist Church.
Look for dates for the Spring Program after January 2010. Any questions, please call the church (587-3828) and leave a message for Sarah Gregory.
The primary purpose of Apples of Gold is for older women to nurture younger women in the word of God, the Bible,
and to encourage them to obey that Word.
The secondary purpose of the program is the practical application of these principals.
Among these principals:
Cooking Skills
Each week the first hour is held in the kitchen, learning about menu planning, and cooking wonderful food for our families. if more families eat together around the table sharing not only food, but devotions, and encouraging conversation, our familieswill grow together in Christ.
Relational skills
We want to build friendships among women and between generations. By learningto understand and love one another, we help to build the church at large. we can't understand one another without knowing one another. Apples of Gold is a bridge-building ministry between older and younger.
Homemaking Skills
Many young women today have not been taught such simple tasks as setting the table properly, or proper etiquette. Having an understanding of these skills will help these young women to feel more confidant and aid them in passing these skills along to their children.
Hospitality
Sharing hospitality with family, friends, and even strangers, is one of the great pleasures of life.
Yet, today, it is nearly a lost art. We are more and more preoccupied with our homes, yet use them less to warm the hearts of our friends and entertain strangers. Apples of Gold seeks to encourage women "they can do it" and we teach by example.
The program is based on the principles found in Titus 2:3-5, which teaches how to enhance our spiritual and personal lives, the lives of our families and the lives of those around us.
Titus 2: 3-5 states,
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverant in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 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.
