We are borrowing the title of the classic movie starring Audrey Hepburn for our report of the first Women's Ministries in-person action of the Bovisio Masciago Adventist Church since the start of the pandemic.
The breakfast appointment on Sunday morning, November 14, 2021, was a wonderful opportunity to meet each other, share some ideas about what we would like to do as a group, compare and tell each other about our experiences with sincerity and sisterly love. Conversations among women can be deep and touching, as was the case now. We exchanged impressions about ourselves and our sisters, we clarified and resolved some loose ends that could, potentially, harm the beautiful harmony of our group. And we did it with our hearts on our sleeves.
The meeting was supposed to last for the time of a breakfast, but it quickly turned into such a moment of sharing therapy that, at noon, we "had" to reluctantly say goodbye with the promise of repeating this experience.
The Women's Ministries group wanted to remind each woman of this special moment by distributing a seedling to each of the participants and the message "Take care of me," with the double reference to the plant but, above all, to the department itself, and us women as mothers, wives, sisters.
