Flip Flops Women’s Ministry Theme
.
.
Summer is a great time for a women’s ministry get-together. It’s a great time for a laid back relaxing event. Flip Flops & Friends make a great theme for that. You can turn it into summer party mode if you want.
How about serving up something easy like summer salads or even just roast some marshmallows and make some S’mores? Easy does it for summer!
