Ladies Night Out - Hobby Lobby Night
This night is a favorite for sure around Encounter Church. It is a fun and relaxed evening where you can get to know other ladies at Encounter.
We will start our evening at Hobby Lobby where we will meet and draw names. (the cards will include a few of their favorite things.) We will then shop for the person we drew (being sneaky so they don't see you).
Following our time at Hobby Lobby we will head to the restaurant for dinner and exchange gifts.
This event is a fantastic way to get to know other ladies in a casual atmosphere.

She Reads Truth
She Reads Truth started as a small group of strangers on the internet who wanted to be more intentional about reading God’s Word. What began as a casual conversation is now an entire community of women all over the world in
pursuit of Jesus.
God’s Word is a gift, and reading it is a privilege. She Reads Truth cheers on ministries whose mission is to reach the unreached with their very first Bibles. Our mission is to invite the already-reached to reach for their Bibles—every day.
It is our joy to open the living and active Word of God with you daily, to find the gospel of Jesus Christ on every page.
