Sisters Appreciation Night - 02/08/08

On behalf of the sisters of the GLB Singles Ministry I would like to extend a warm, heartfelt thank you to all the brothers for putting an amazing night of encouragement together!


The brothers really went out of their way to make each of us individually feel special and loved. The brothers from my group led by Patrick Lao, teamed-up with Edgar Posada’s group to put together a full evening… Each sister was escorted to a beautifully set table, made complete with fresh cut tulips, where we were waited on hand and foot. We started with a delicious meal prepared with the brothers own hands! We were each then presented with handmade cards, along with words of encouragement that each brother came out and shared from their hearts and God’s Word! We even got dessert! PIZOOKIE® (A fresh baked chocolate chip cookie with a scoop a vanilla bean ice cream on top) for all of you BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse fans!

We ended the evening by coming together with the remainder of the South Region of the LA Church to hear an inspirational poem by Mark Tureaud from the Peninsula ministry and more sharing from the heart’s of two of our baby brother’s in Christ Mark Nacion, also from the Peninsula ministry and GLB’s very own Evan Rodriguez. The sisters were also given the opportunity to share their gratitude towards the brothers for all the hard work that they obviously put in to making the evening one of great success. Each sister had similar stories to share of how the brothers truly lived out the scriptures and did as Jesus would do. All this before we danced the night away… Wait, did I mention the Chocolate Fondue Fountain! No night is complete without dessert, especially chocolate! It was above and beyond what any of us sisters could have asked for or imagined!

Special thanks goes out to the Pellizeri’s, Landi’s, Gross’s and all the other married couples that helped to serve our singles ministry. This night would not have been possible without your great sacrifice for God’s Kingdom!

We are looking forward to continuing in the spirit of encouragement and giving with a Brother’s Appreciation Night! Stay tuned for details…
