GIVE AWAY: marriage bible

I am excited to announce, today we are giving away a Thomas Nelson Marriage Bible. It’s always great to have a new bible in the house to reference from, study with and use.

Remembering to keep our marriages a priority is a must. The effects trickle down to family as well as our church family. The demands of life and life in the ministry keep us busy and can be draining. I encourage you stay in the Word. Cover your husband and children with prayer and the Word of God.

The Family Life Bible has articles and insights by Denis and Barbara Rainey. Inside you will find the following features:

· Devotions for Couples
· Romance tips, quotes and notes
· Parenting Matters – articles on raising children God’s way
· Biblical Insights articles, Topical Index
· Family Manifesto - biblical model of a Godly family
· 8-page Family Tree presentation section

We love you ladies and want you to grow and stay filled up as you reach your full potential in all God has called you to do and be.

Greatness is inside of you! As God’s Leading Ladies you have been placed in a position of influence. I encourage you to embrace it and allow the love of God to permeate through you as you love the people God has called you to in your city.

To register:

Like us on Facebook

Follow us on twitter (if you are on – if you are not no worries)

Leave us your name, church name and city you are from; so we can pray for you.

Winner will be announced on Tuesday, October 18th.

um...about yesterday...

Dear friends, readers, fellow-PWs, beautiful ladies,

Yesterday was April 1st, April Fool's Day.

Sarah and I thought that doing a crazy, outlandish, OUTRAGEOUS April Fool's joke would be fun. We thought we would post something that was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. (Afterall, we're poor PWs just like many of you...)

So we posted an outrageous giveaway of outrageously priced purses for EVERYONE. It seemed like a clever post...sorta believable, sorta not. And then we even asked you ministry-ize the giveaway...

That's the part that got us, ladies. Aside from all the false excitement that we generated (um, getting those emails started to not be so fun, real fast), it broke our hearts to see that so many of you were so thrilled about it and had real ministry needs to share.

The not-so-funny joke is on us. And even our wonderful pastor husbands have scolded us in the Spirit, urging us to abstain from this kind of behavior in the future. We feel really awful that our spontaneous sense of humor may cause anyone to feel let down or disappointed.

And as a make-up offering....


We've entered all of you sweet, sincere ladies who responded to yesterday's post into a random drawing to win this clutch. We shopped for it this morning because we both felt an urgent need to tangibly apologize for our attempt at humor.

This won't make up for your plans for fundraising for your church plant, silent auction, ministering to the sick and soul sick or attracting more people to youth group. But we hope the winner will accept this consolation prize in a spirit of grace and forgiveness. (Not sure if you want your name posted as the winner, so we'll contact you directly via email first.)

Again, we're sorry. We screwed up and we need mercy...

the biggest giveaway yet!

NOTE: This was our April Fool's Day post. Please read here for the whole story.

Okay girls, you know we love doing giveaways when we can, and we've just worked out the COOLEST giveaway of 4 Coach clutches PER PERSON.

Here's the deal - it's a little complicated, so pay attention. Every PW who comments on a post at least once a week for the entire month of April, will receive 1 Clutch per week. To say it another way, if you comment at least once a week for all 4 weeks, you will receive 4 COACH clutches (max).

One more rule, you must think of a way to use these purses in ministry at your church. Throughout the month we will share these creative ideas with the rest of the readers. So, with your entry, you must provide a brief explanation of how these purses will be used for ministry purposes.

We expect lots of interest in this giveaway, so in order to keep track, we ask that you email us your registration instead of commenting on this post (it's the only way we'll be able to keep track and have the info in our database). Only those who register today will be able to participate in the month-long giveaway. To enter, you need to just email us at clutchtalk@gmail.com with your:

- name
- church name & city
- husband's pastoral role
- best idea for using 4 COACH clutches for creative ministry in your church

No comments below please - only emails will be counted as entries. We will then contact you directly to get your shipping address.

This should be fun and I trust all of you will enjoy your clutches!

Valerie & Daniel

Shari & Trevan

Shane & Marc

Hilary & Mike

Julie & Jeff

Starr & Jonathan

Sheila & Jeremy

Jessica & Dennis (and fam)

Deidre & Otis

giveaway time!

This month we're combining a request with a giveaway.

We're giving away this book:


The Sweetness of A Bitter Cup: Journey of A Pastor's Wife

What do you need to do?

Send us a picture of you and your PH. We're going to feature the photos in a special Valentine's Day post. But lets not make this complicated. If you don't have an easily emailable photo, just get your cell phone out and snap a silly, non-glam, casual picture of the two of you and send it (via your phone) to clutchtalk@gmail.com. Make this *task* as painless as possible. Don't forget to include your names!

The entries will be numbered in the order they are received and the winner will be chosen at random. Previous winners are not eligible. US readers only.

Please submit by Friday, Feb. 13 at NOON (PST). That's right, only 3 days!

first giveaway: the clutch clutch

Ladies! Just this week I ordered and received the Clutch Clutch you see pictured here. But it's not for me... though I've already determined that it would be very cute with some jeans, crisp white shirt and cowboy boots (and yes, I own cowboy boots). So, if no one responds to this post, this truly will be a win for me! Anyway... in order to enter this contest, simply leave a comment with your first name, church size and your city/state. (Sorry -- this contest is only open for our readers in the U.S., though we are delighted that people from all over the world are checking out the blog.)

Like I was saying... leave a comment (on this post, with your first name, church size and city/state) between now and Thursday, Jan. 15. We'll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky PW on the blog on Friday, Jan. 16.

COMMENTS CLOSED.
