Christa Alberts: My Song!

What a great surprise to get back into the states from our trip to Israel and get my copy of our very own CG girl, Christa Alberts new worship project, MY SONG.    MY SONG will be available next Friday night at the next CG event.



 

Jesus came for the rose.

Reflecting on January's event has been a particularly sweet experience for me.  In approximately 72 hrs I will be on my way to Israel to walk where Jesus walked.   Over the last few weeks,  in many ways, God has been preparing my heart to take it all in.  My prayer has been that I will be profoundly different when I return.

I'm not sure where CG is going this year.  I know God is driving this pink bus, thats for sure.  Girls, I know its unchartered waters for most of us.   Determining to take God's love from the pews to the pavement can be a really messy thing sometimes.

Worth everything?   Yeah.



Remember those pink roses we received that night?  Jesus really did come for the rose.  Every single color, size and shape rose.   That's you, me, women who are close to God and women who are very far from God.

All of us.  It's really scandalous isn't it?   That a love so pure would ask each of us to dance?

I think often about the women we helped with sister2sister project. I wonder if they know as they put on the nail polish we collected at the last CG event - that a group of women have been going to the Lord on their behalf.  Not only in words but in action.   Praying that they will know the love of Jesus.

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!!

 

Welcome Spring!

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!
