Sweet Monday, known for its Guiness world's record for the world's largest tea party, is now
walking into history. Here's what the founder, Kim Newlen has to say about it:
"
Sweet Monday WalkSweet Friends are gathering together nationwide to raise awareness and FUNds to benefit Sweet Monday and our simple mission of reaching out to women one sweet invitation at a time for Christ. Sweet Monday energizes and encourages women’s ministries by inspiring hospitality and relationship. These monthly home-based socials full of fun, fresh ideas connect women and offer a simple introduction to Jesus Christ.
Sweet Monday, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, based in Richmond, VA, will host a local Sweet Monday Extra Mile 5k Walk at Collegiate School, Robins Campus (Goochland County) on Saturday, May 22, 2010.
Also on May 22, 2010, women leading or participating in Sweet Monday outreaches nationwide will walk in their hometowns that same day or by the end of May. Women will hit the treadmills together at the local gym, head out in their neighborhoods or gather in a local mall or in church parking lots to walk the Sweet Monday Extra Mile 5K Walk. Some may even want to walk together during their Sweet Monday meeting.
We are tickled pink to have this opportunity to spend time in friendship and exercise while contributing to a sweet cause. The walk proceeds support more Sweet Monday outreaches and more introductions to Jesus Christ through the development of materials to encourage and energize new and existing Sweet Monday outreaches and training events on college campuses and churches in the USA and around the world, i.e., China, Australia, and Europe."
