winds of creativity...
April
provides unique weather in our part of the  country. Blustery, warm sun-filled days mixed with
spontaneous spring showers provide just the right mix for God’s beautiful
creation to bloom across the countryside.
Are the
winds of creativity blowing your way? Are you looking for ways to warm your
friendz and neighborz with encouragement and God’s love? Look no
further!
We’ve filled this newsletter with ideas, tips
and reports just in time for your creativity to bloom in your community. Jesus
said, “No one lights a lamp and hides it in
a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a  stand, so that those who come in can see the
light” (Luke 8:16).
So this spring, let His creativity shine through
you!
Happy Spring!
Pam &
Kathy

session 1—finding class
leaders
|
We are sometimes asked, “How do I get organized to start a
Friendzy?” We answer, “Friendz! Friendz! Friendz!” The most effective event or
ministry begins with planning and delegation. The “Getting Started” book
included in the Friendzy Starter Kit lists different areas of responsibility
that can be divided among your leaderz.
“What
leaderz?” you ask. Actually, they are all around you. You may just not know it
yet. Ask yourself the following questions. The person who comes to mind may
be a good choice for a leader in the area listed.
Welcome Friendz
Who is
the person to say the first “hello” when someone walks in the
door?
Spit Spot Friendz
Who is the person who arrives early to help
set up or decorate?
Connected
Friendz
Who sends thoughtful cards and
remembers birthdays?
Festive Friendz
Who’s always suggesting a new outing or adventure?
Prayer Friendz
Who would you
call with a special prayer need?
Friendz Special Project
Who loves to rally around good causes?
New Friendz
Who makes
friendz easily and always seems to gather a crowd around
her?
Common Groundz
Who
likes to invite scrapbookers over for a night of fun?
You see?
Potential leaderz are all around you. Let them grow in creativity and you’ll
make some wonderful friendz along the
way!

welcome friendz
“We just had our first meeting to kick off Creative Friendzy here
at New Life Church in Port Townsend, Washington . What fun we had
planning our Friendz’ Oscar Night. Our humor shined through as we picked April
1st to pull this off. We are looking forward to having this time with our
women, sharing and growing, and bringing new women into our group”
