Women's Luau Brunch

Saturday, the Women's Ministry at our church, put on a Women's Luau Brunch. There were 152 women in attendance including me and my dear friends Jennifer and Pat.

We had a yummy meal and great fellowship and worship. But the highlight was definitly the special guest speaker: Bethany Hamiliton. You may remember her as the young surfer girl who survived her arm being biten off by a shark years ago. Well she is now 19 years old. She is an amazing Christian and living her life and surfing for the Lord.

We watched a 30 minute video of her story and then she spoke to us. Her and her family are very inspirational and we were all encouraged. I bought her movie if anyone wants to see it and I put a trailer below.
