Over 75 themes were generated. That's great input. Below is a sample of the theme titles, their basis, and brief description. Visit http://www.womensministry.net/themes.htm for the complete list of themes generated. There is also a link for you to submit additional themes. You'll also find a great logo one Susan Codone of Pensacola, FL provided. Thanks to all of you who submitted themes. Winners of Jennifer's album will be notified in next Wednesday's Newsletter.  Keep your ideas and tips coming - ideas@womensministry.net.
