Popcorn and PJs

Recently we had a popcorn and pjs night at church. We had attended a Women's Ministry meeting where the idea was talked about so my friend, Stephanie, and I both started planning it and things just fell into place.  We decided to start with a pink and black theme and we went from there.  Since we held the event in January when many have just started working on their New Year's Resolution, we decided also on offering healthy snacks. 
Comfort
Health
Relax
FUN!
We showed the movie, A VOW TO CHERISH.  The women began showing up, all in their PJs or comfy sweats.  We had been making popcorn in the authentic popcorn machine (a mini machine, just like at the movie theater) before the ladies arrived.  All stood around, snacking and chatting in their jammies and then the movie began.  What a wonderful evening.  Ladies wrapped up in their blankets, feet propped on the chairs in front of them that Stephanie and I strategically arranged for their comfort, munching on their popcorn.  Tissue boxes were placed all around the room.  Then the movie was over.  And the ladies lingered.  Sitting in groups of two to five or so, relaxed and just wanting to stay and chat.  I do believe the night was a success.  We've been asked by many when the next movie night will be.
