What is God looking for in a friend? Who does He share His secrets with? Vickey answers these questions and more in this intimacy-enhancing session.

Keys to Your Husband's Heart

Whether or not you use them will be up to you.

Love Letters: Leaving a Lasting Legacy
When God wanted to assure us of His love for all time, what did He do? He wrote about it in His letters. That's what the Bible is - a collection of love letters from God. Vickey will help you follow His heavenly example and put your love for others on paper, that they may hold your words in their hands and relive them over and over again. (This session is especially appropriate for Mom's groups.)

Filling Mommy's Cup
In the Tea Party of Life, we all come with a cup to be filled. Who spends most of her time filling up everyone else's cup? Mommy does! But, who fills Mommy's cup? The Holy Spirit - He alone can keep her cup full. He's like the bottomless teapot! With the help of Scripture, this session examines how to so decorate our world with reminders of Him that our cups remain full of good fruit to share. (This session has also been adapted for groups with women who aren't mothers.)

Wrapped With Love: The Gift of Christmas

She asks you to pause in the midst of it all and reflect on God's oh-so-perfect, just-right gift of Jesus. She then prompts you to move beyond reflection and to respond as the Wise Men did when they came upon the Savior - they brought Him presents! But, that's not all! Find out what He wants from you this Christmas.
