On Friday night, CommonGround girls from 8 local churches gathered at Connection Church to worship and have conversation. Our outreach focus was the UnderCover Project helping the Lighthouse Mission Warming Center in Westland, MI get as many homeless people undercover this winter as possible. God met needs in very practical ways that night: 143 blankets and 501 pairs of socks were collected. Our next event is on Friday, April 16th -- hope to see you there!

Undercover Project
commonground is coming to Connection Church on Friday, Jan 15th @ 7pm.
What is CG?
- A cross denominational gathering of women ages 13-115
- Worshiping one God.
- Enjoying conversation over fantastic appetizers
CG is the ultimate girl night with a God focus.
Each CG has an external focus and this event is no different. We'll be launching our Undercover Project. It's simple...we want to get as many homeless people undercover as possible. We're collecting blankets (gently used and new) and socks (preferably men's tube socks) that evening. All items will be given to the Lighthouse Mission Warming Center in Westland, Michigan.
Our Goal: 500 blankets!
It's just not "blanket-hating" Grandma who wants you to give up your blankie... :)
Bring them in that evening or into the church office M - F, 9am - 4pm this week before the event. The blankets/socks will be delivered that evening to the warming center.
