This year, 12 pastors' wives (out of 23) attended. They were treated to a spring tea party of sorts. Tables were beautifully decorated with 4 different patterns of china. Each place setting had a ceramic Easter egg (complete with candy) favor.
The ladies enjoyed a delicious lunch (recipes included), a time of fellowship, and a time of sharing. Peggy Perry moderated the sharing time. Thank you for doing such a great job!
