Click on the image to enlarge
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY will be celebrated in the entire month of March 2007 and this year the theme is THE POWER OF HOME. (Think of H.O.M.E as Helping Others More Effectively)
We are calling women to open their homes to invite their friends and neighbours to have a party. Some ideas include:
- Teaching a craft; flower arrangement, origami, scrapbooking
- Having a potluck
- Having a food demostration
- Sharing someone's faith journey
- Teaching a song in your native language
We have a package in which you can purchase called Party Hints (for $8) that has invitations, ice-breaker questions, ideas for crafts and how to pull your team together to throw a successful party in your home. Home is where your heart is, and if Jesus is in your heart, the women coming into your home will find it wonderfully warm. The purpose of these home parties is to introduce Jesus to them, gently and with love.
We would like to post your party plans for what your home party might look like, so please post your comments or write to interculturalnetwork@crusade.org to tell us what your ideas are. If you would like just the ice-breaker cards, please email shirley.eu@crusade.org and I will send the PDF to you.
Let's consider making this a memorable day for someone else...

Janet’s recipe
Guest list: My neighbors from Taiwan, Philippines, India, Fiji and Canada. Most have children.
Time: a Sunday afternoon in March
Focus of the party: The power of home as a place for building each other up.
Invitations: Cards delivered to their door and left in their mail box if they are not home, saying something like:
International Women’s Day is March 8 – so let’s celebrate! Because we have so many nations represented in our neighborhood, let’s get together to get to know each other better and encourage one another!
Would you come to my home on March 11 from 3:00 – 5:30 for an afternoon of fun, friendship and fruit salad?
Let’s talk about the ability we have as women to make our homes a place of encouragement. It’s the Power of Home!
If you can, bring one cup of chopped fruit.
We’ll make a” friendship fruit salad” to enjoy together.
Afternoon will include:
Learning to say “Hello” and “I appreciate you” in each other’s languages
Learning about the 5 love languages, identifying our own love language and learning how to encourage someone in their love language.
Making and eating fruit salad with scones and tea.
Sharing a bit of my life story to show how I learned God wants us to hear that He loves us.
Inviting them to come again to investigate God’s love: once a month for the next four months or once a week for the next four weeks?
Gifts as they leave the party: copy of a poem “God thinks you’re wonderful” (by Max Lucado); a list of ways to encourage your children; booklet – Beginning Your Journey of Joy
