20th Anniversary Gift of Hope Gala Honors Sister Rita Woehlcke SSJ
October 5, 2018
Sister Rita Woehlcke SSJ received the Humanitarian of the Year Award at the event.
The Center is nationally recognized for cutting edge practices in breaking the cycle of homelessness, substance abuse and poor ‘starts’ for children.
Rita began her relationship with the Center for Great Expectations in 1995 and was instrumental in creating the mission statement and designing a vision for comprehensive care. In each case, the model was based on experiencing something new, in order to be able to choose something different, and then having the internal and external resources and support to maintain that new life. She views her time at CGE as one the most significant in her ministerial life. . . .
Congratulations, Rita!

B-WAFF - Beautiful, Wonderful, Amazing, Fabulous, Fantastic
Did You B-WAFF Today?
B-WAFF is an acronym created by Rhonda Bryne. It stands for Beautiful, Wonderful, Amazing, Fabulous, Fantastic. These are POWERFUL words that change how one feels, thinks, and behaves. In other words, B-WAFF are positive affirmations that only need to be SAID to cause one to be positive in her feelings, thoughts, and behavior.
Try it. Tell the very next person you see right now: “You are __________”(use one of the B-WAFF words). What was the person’s reaction? How did YOU feel?
As related to P.E.O., they can move a chapter from being ORDINARY to being EXTRAORDINARY.
How is this done? As our State President Ellen Endslow would say, “Easy peasy,”that is, just before you walk into your next chapter meeting, say to yourself, “My chapter is ___________ “(use one of the B-WAFF words). Note what happens!
Oh, by the way, you can also use these words when angry with someone. The next time that you are angry with someone, just say, “You’re just AMAZING!” (Bet you’ll smile!)
So, don’t forget to B-WAFF today!

Quoted from an African missionary's newsletter
Quoted from an African missionary's newsletter, discussing seminary education for pastors:
"The African culture does not believe that men should be involved in the care of young children or even in teaching them. I am trying to convince my class of men that teaching, especially children, should be at the heart of the church. I want to get them excited about teaching Sunday School and making it a fun and enjoyable experience where children can come to know about the love of God.
Most of them look at me with stony faces revealing their aversion to the job, preaching to adults is what they consider the most important part of being a pastor. I pray that these men can become loving and caring fathers as well as pastors who understand the need to reveal the love of God the Father through their example."
