pink tees, prayer and God

Girls,  commonground will be here in 12 days.  Can you believe just 12 days!!!   Yikes!  I mean...YOWZA!!!  :)

Here are a few updates for you....

T-Shirts 
Its been so cool to see so many of you get on board with buying CG t-shirts!   Today it was like CG central - lots of calls on the tees and drop-ins to purchase the shirts.   They are in production and we will have all sizes availablefor sale on Sunday at 9am at the WM's counter.  Also this Sunday is the day we wear our pink and wear it proud!! :) 

Prayer
So many of you have asked how you can help before the event and what we need is PRAYER.   Honestly,  we have no idea what we are doing...we're taking each day as it comes and God has been so faithful to us.   The single greatest need we have "pre-event" is prayer.  

  • Please pray for Amy Voss, as she prepares the worship portion of the evening. 

  • Pray for women who will be at CG -- their hearts focus that their conversations would be sprinkled with creativity and courage.  

  • Pray for God's continued direction and spirit of servanthood to be at the core of our leadership team.  (These girls are rockin' right along side me:   Nancy Barra, Alene Hoffman, Jen Karolak and Katy Reitz)


God
The vision of commonground is one that we can't claim as our own.  We feel very strongly that we are following His direction.   Jesus.  Period.  By Him, For Him.   Great efforts to serve our communities really don't mean much if they aren't done for the Lord.   Only what is done for the Lord will last.  

How is God preparing you for commonground?

passion with legs

The question we have to ask ourselves is this...

What would happen if our passion to serve God developed legs and we carried it to the world --and changed it?

note


This week I received a phone call from a women who was directed to Connection Church from the Salvation Army for help.   She had a job interview this Saturday (today!) and wanted to know if we had any business clothes for her to wear on  her interview.    A simple email went out to a few women --  and within 48 hrs,  this woman was overwhelmed with an abundance of clothing in her size.   Not just one or two or five outfits, but bags of  clothing! Nice clothes, too -- some still with tags. One of the ladies put this note in with the clothes...girl to girl.



Asking the question again...

What would happen if our passion to serve God developed legs and we carried it to the world --and changed it?
