Hi CGer’s!
Our very first commonground took place on May 1st and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. The event itself blew our minds away — 150 women from 15 different churches! I mean, seriously — wow!!! Our prayer has been that God would be pleased with CG. We definitely feel encouraged to do the next one! Thank you to all of you who prayed and continue to pray for CommonGround (YOU know who you are!!) Mark your calendars: Friday, August 28th!
Thank you to all of the girls who volunteered their time the night of CG! You girls inspire me!
The coolest thing is that 48 hrs later two different women contacted me and said that God had “nudged” them during CG to step out and do something for Him in ministry. We are so stoked about that!! Thats our hope for CG. Women who love God serving him.
- Karen McKean said she has a passion to minister to women in prison. She really felt prompted during CG to explore this more. Karen attends Connection Church and will be involved with helping to launch a Prison Ministry for Women at her church. (If you attend Connection, please see the notice in this week’s bulletin for more information.)
- Linda Cox, also attended CG and felt prompted to create an outreach for something she is very passionate about. More to follow (hopefully soon on this one!)
A big thank you to Christie Martin who took these pics and sent them into the blog from CG!
