Recap: April’s Event – A M A Z I N G!

April 26, 2012 Leave a Comment

We are still glowing from all that God did in and through CGgirls at Friday Night’s event.  Here are some highlights from Friday Night!

  • Our spotlight focus was on Royal Family Kids Camp.   Amazing ministry for foster kids … RFKC is a camp held each year for foster kids.  Crazy good stuff is going on through RFKC!    CGgirls collected 505 items for RFKC and really blew us away.   There were enough items to cover 5 years (Yep, FIVE years of camp!).    When the body of Christ works together something really wonderful happens, doesn’t it?
  • 150 women from 32 different churches gathered together at CG  and it was incredible to see so many new faces!  Really, really cool!  Thank you ladies for getting the word out about CGgirls!  Invite, Invite, Invite!
  • We had four churches represented in our Worship Band — Connection Church,  Trinity Church in Lansing,  Oak Pointe Church and Rivers of Living Water.   Isn’t that fantastic?
  • We announced a very special outreach focus for our July 27th event.   CGgirls will be partnering with Hope 4 Western Wayne County  — a HUGE outreach happening on Saturday, August 18th in Westland.   H4WWC will be providing incredible outreach to 5000 people.   Stay tuned…more on the blog this week!
  • We had 14 women sign up for the CGgirls:Inspire! Women’s Leadership Network  that we are creating.  Very excited about this!  Leave a comment on this blog if you’d like to receive more info!
  • Talk about a full circle moment…our PCL girls were in the front row on Friday night.  How stinkin’ cool is that?!

CG pregame.

April 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

Hi.  It’s me again…and yes, I have coffee.  ;)

We’re in CG pregame mode and let me tell you … its never any different.   We are filled with an anxiousness of expectation of what God might choose to do in and through CG girls tomorrow night.

And please don’t ever doubt this:  we all have a keen awareness of the responsibility God has entrusted us with — I can honestly tell you…this doesn’t leave my mind…like ever.

The CG worship team practiced the other night and I was able to snap some pics — they are ready! As I tap this keyboard a CG girl is setting up the candles in the auditorium.  In about 3 hrs men will be coming to move chairs and we’ll begin transforming the after party room for you.  Tomorrow morning,  CG girls will be gathering to finish set up and get everything “just so”…

Do you feel prepared for?  I hope so.

Our hearts purpose is to serve God through serving you.   We hope it shows.

See you tomorrow night?  7pm?  Hmmmm ?

Welcome Spring!

March 8, 2011 2 Comments

CG Girls,

I don’t know about you…but I AM READY for Spring!  :)   Come ‘on!   :)

The next CG is coming around the corner.  Are you planning to join us on April 8th at 7pm?   We hope so!

Here are the details:

Will you join us?  Our last CG event in January had 190 women from 24 different churches.  Our biggest one yet!   We are amazed at what God is doing through the women of CG and we can’t wait for the next one!   Penrickton Center for Blind Children is an amazing organization.  You can find out more about them here! The items we are collecting are on their much needed list because they use them everyday!

We invite you to the ultimate girl’s night out…one with a God focus. Invite, Invite, Invite!

Proud of OUR CommonGround Girl!

January 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

Hi Girls!   There is starting to be some good buzz about the upcoming CG event on January 28th.  To say we are beyond excited and trusting God like crazy would be an understatement.  More to come next week on that event.

As this Friday is winding down and I am sure most of you are getting ready to get your “weekend on” … I wanted to take a few minutes and publicly share how proud I am of our CG worship leader,  Christa Alberts. 

When God began to stir in us thoughts of women coming together from all denominations of Christian faith to not only worship but take His love from the pews to the pavement — Christa was one of the first to say, “I need to be involved with that…count me in!”   And she has been a CG fixture right in the trenches with us.   Trusting God as he orchestrates a movement of women we could not begin to imagine.

Our CG Girl leaves to record her first worship CD in a few weeks and I can’t be more proud of her.   She is trusting God like crazy as He pulls her out of her comfort zone.    Christa shared today on her FB page the following:

“A little over 2 weeks till Boston:) I have been told I need to get the word out..so here goes… I am recording a CD. Almost all songs are originals. I wrote a few and my very talented friend Sonia V wrote a lot of them. She is also my Producer..so I’m in great hands:) 

I am surrounded by amazing people who stepped up to help me in many ways…you know who you are:)  There is no way this could be happening without your help!  I am so thankful for the opportunity. I have amazing musicians playing and amazing family and friends supporting me! Feeling VERY thankful today:)  Thank you God for giving me this opportunity:)

My prayer is that these songs will touch other people’s lives and point them to the one true God…just as they have done for me!  That hope might be restored, and God’s love will be evident through this project.  I will be giving updates as we go, on the progress and what amazing artists are playing.   The hope is that the CD will be done early Spring.

Christa is a vital part of things at CG.  We are so very, very, very proud of her.  Would you join me in beginning to pray for Christa today?    Please pray for the following:

  • Health for everyone involved..a lot of people have been sick lately.   
  •  Mostly pray that this will be what God wants and will be pleasing to Him. 
  • Wisdom for Christa.
  • That the focus will be on God and not me, or who’s playing etc.  
  • Christa desires excellence with the proper focus:) 

THANK YOU, CG girls!   Ain’t nothing like a girl who loves God. 

:)

Tami

PS-  Christa’s worship CD will be available for purchase at the CG event in the spring!
