Have you heard about groups here at Robson called PPP? It stands for Praise, Prayer, and Play.

Group 1 (called that because it was the first one to be formed five years ago) had their outing in September. It started out at the home of Deena Barber. We shared prayer requests and prayed for those of us and those in the community who have needs.

That took care of our first two P’s. What did we do for play? We carpooled to the main fire department in Denton at 332 E. Hickory. They have a wonderful small museum that is free and open to the public Monday through Friday. Two of the firemen were kind enough to take us back to see and sit in the fire trucks. Consider this outing if you have small grandchildren. It will be fun for them.

After that adventure, we carpooled to the GreenHouse Restaurant for lunch. Although we already know each other well, we opened up little envelopes that asked a silly and enlightening question. We learned even more about our friends.

The PPP group’s mission is to encourage lifelong friendships as we support and love each other while growing in our walk with our Lord, Jesus Christ. Whether it’s a meal, pool party, games, adventurous outings or sightseeing, or conversations light or profound, there are always prayers for one another and their individual requests, praise of our Lord for His abundant love and grace, and thanksgiving for these beloved women He has placed in each of our paths.

There are now four Praise, Prayer, and Play groups and counting. If you are interested in learning more or signing up to participate in a group, feel free to contact Theresa Peoples at 214-577-4616 or [email protected]. Be assured that there’s a PPP for everyone.

Women Sharing Hope exists to develop friendships, grow in faith, and share God’s love. We meet the third Friday of each month at 10 a.m. at the clubhouse, where we gather to strengthen our walk with God by learning more about Him and His love for us. Each month has a different theme and different guest speakers who address situations and issues many of us deal with in our daily lives. In addition to the PPP groups, Women Sharing Hope also has several outreach programs that support the Robson Ranch community, which include a Widows Support program, Robson Angels Supporting Caregivers, and Games for Dames.

If interested in receiving invitations to Women Sharing Hope monthly meetings, please contact Catherine Simpson at 817-707-7707 or [email protected]. Watch for the Punchbowl invitation each month. Please come. Whether in PPP, one of our other groups, or at our Women Sharing Hope meetings, we would love to get to know you!
