Made in Michigan

 

****Drumroll please…we have a winner!  Stacey from multi-purpose mom blog is the winner of our Made in Michigan giveaway!  Stacey check you inbox!  :)     Thank you ladies for sharing with us about your studies.  It’s so cool to see women growing in their knowledge of the Lord! 

 

My dear friend, Katy Reitz, is the talent and treasure behind lil’ alice. I have been a fan of lil’ alice from the very beginning.  I believe in the quality and care that Katy puts into every piece. Needless to say, I own alot of lil’ alice goodies.  To top it off, Katy is a CGgirl and has been a supporter of this ministry since day one.

I know I’m no different from other CGgirls who dig into bible study or reading the Word with an arsenal of highlighters, colored pencils or “special” pens. I grew weary of fumbling through my purse or drawers at home to find them. Am I alone?  I knew that giving them a home, where they could live in peace and harmony was the answer. :)

I asked Katy if she would create a pencil bag for me.  It’s wildly fantastic.  See for yourself:

I can’t keep this kind of goodness to myself.  No ma’am.  Can’t do it.   Soooo….we are going to give one away on the blog this week. How can you win?

A note from My Sister Song to CG Girls

Girls, this will warm your heart on this wintery day.

We received this email from Laura Urenda, director of My Sister Song.

Hello !

The last My Sister Song NEWSLETTER was at Christmas time and we just passed
Valentine’s Day with Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner!  Man time
seriously flies!  The outreach are precious to us every single month,
but the holidays are especially fun since we try to do themes for the gift bags
as often as possible.  I really wish the recipients of the gifts could see
all that goes into preparing for the club outreaches, only so they would know
more fully the love for them that motivates us, which brings me to all that
went into the event held for us through COMMON GROUND at Connection
Church.  The theme of the event was “Sister to Sister” which brought
together women from all different churches, denominations, and backgrounds, to
not only worship together as one body and enjoy a time of socializing and
networking over yummy snacks, but everyone pitched in providing for a ton of
gift bags exploding with goodies for these precious women working in the
clubs!  The girls were genuinely excited and appreciative of the gifts,
and all who participated entered the clubs with us in spirit as we loved on the
girls keeping with the Sister to Sister theme that “Every sister is a
rose”.  So I want to give a heartfelt shout out to all the Common Ground
Girls that partnered with My Sister Song in order to bless our sisters in the
clubs.  THANK YOU & BLESSINGS TO YOU!!

 

CG Girl, will you be here on Friday?

We love you, too!

Girls Who Love God!

We are convinced more than ever that when women gather for CommonGround…they are girls who love God.   Only God could bring over 100 women from 13 different churches together on a hot July evening to help kids they will never meet.  

Only God.

We were blown away by the outpouring of love you showed Friday night.  130 backpacks (yep, 130!) filled with school supplies were donated that evening to St.Mary’s Back to School Fair.   Unbelievable.   CommonGround girls, you continue to make me look toward heaven with an overflowing heart of gratitude to thank our Father for you. 

Big Shout out to the following churches in attendance:  Cornerstone, Calvary Baptist Church, Memorial Church of Christ, Revival Tabernacle, Cross Pointe, St. Thomas, Connection Church,  Rivers of Living Water, Metro South, Northridge, St. Mary’s, and Geneva Presbyterian!    Leaving our differences at the door and gathering in unity to worship the One True Living God! 

See you in October, girlfriends!!

Project Little Lamb

Girls, we’ve missed you!  We can’t wait to see you.  Our next commonground is right around the corner….Friday, April 16 7pm at Connection Church.
