Carla's Corner 
We are so excited to announce that registration for Share Fair 2009 "Women in Ministry" is now open! Stonebridge Church in The Woodlands has graciously opened its doors to host our event and has also provided an amazing team of women to help us make Share Fair happen. We are thrilled to announce the speakers who are headlining our event: Inspire Women's Chief Operating Officer, Mia Yoo; Mindy Ferguson of Fruitful Words Ministries, Dian Cotton a local Christian Life Coach, myself and many more. This will be a day you won't want to miss, and if you have joined us before, you already know that this will be a day of encouragement, insight, and enrichment. Equally as important, Share Fair is a time of connecting with women representing a variety of ministries. One thing we hear over and over is that the small group time is both powerful and valuable. After each speaker session, each one is assigned to a discussion group where you are given the opportunity to grow and learn from one another. This year we will also have three breakout sessions after lunch, and we are offering a variety of topics so you can choose the area where you personally need to focus.
It has been a personal blessing to watch the Lord work in and through this ministry as He grows Share Fair to meet and reach more women serving in ministry. We can't wait to see what this year holds, and we'd love to see you there.
I would encourage you to register early and bring your team with you. Whether you are a lone ranger in serving the Lord or you partner with others - Share Fair is for you!
From My Heart to Yours,
Carla McDougal
Founder and Speaker for Reflective Life Ministries

What is  Share Fair?
Share Fair is a one day event giving women in ministry an opportunity to come together, encourage one another, pray for each other and share ideas and resources. In addition to three symposium style sessions, the Information Exchange, and Q/A panel, this year we are adding a break-out session offering three inspiring topics. We are thrilled with the team of women God has brought together to make this year's Share Fair a true ministry changing experience. Our desire is to see God work through us and you, as you discover ways to build a strong and vibrant ministry.

Why "Women In Ministry"?
This year's Share Fair is for any woman who is involved in, works with or has been called to ministry. At the very heart of Share Fair is our desire to help you build and expand your ministry while giving you tools that will enable you to provide effective, Godly leadership to your team. Come alone or bring your team, share your knowledge, attain new ministry tools and be encouraged. We want to help connect you with other women in ministry that can be a tremendous source of encouragement and inspiration for you through this journey the Lord has called you to accomplish.

Our New Logo
We are excited to unveil our new logo and look to you, our faithful friends. As the Lord has moved us forward in serving Him, we felt the need to have a common thread that identified the complete ministry scope of Reflective Life Ministries. In addition to the new logo, we've also been hard at work on a new and improved website. When you have a second, hop on over to www.reflectivelifeministries.org and take a look. We aren't completely finished and have some tweaking to do, but we'd love to hear from you.
Our dear friend, Evelyn Hicks, owner of Signature Marketing Group, has been guiding us through the process of refining our ministry and helping us to focus where it is that God has placed Reflective Life Ministries, and how we can better move forward in serving him.
Thank you for all the support and encourageent over the past three years. This ministry wouldn't be where it is or what it is without your faithful and loving support. We are grateful to the friendships, opportunities and memories that we've been fortunate to make, while serving our King. We look forward to many more years of being exactly where He wants us to be and meeting you and many new friends along the way. | |

 New Retreat Theme!
Denim & Diamonds:
Deep in the Heart of Jesus
What does it mean to live a life sold out to Jesus? How can God see me as precious when my heart is not pure? In this retreat, we will focus on how God sees each of His children through Jesus, His son. It is based on a "Western" or "Texas" theme with many fun ideas, skits, activities, in depth scripture lessons, and more. Here are the topics for each session:
Round-Up 1 "A Diamond in the Rough
Round-Up 2 "Created to Glisten"
Final Round-Up "Maintaining the Sparkle"
Expect some sparkles, laughter, tears, and memory moments as your heart deepens with a love for Jesus and the women the Lord places in your life through this retreat!
