Compassion and Care Opportunity!

CGgirls!


As many of you know, one of our outreaches in the past was with My Sister Song, a wonderful ministry to women in the sex industry. Margie Kelly, a big part of things on the MSS team has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer that is spreading throughout her body.  Margie is also a wife, and mom to two young children.


She is a champion and fighting for her life.

This illness has taken them off guard in many, many areas. Especially financial as Margie is not able to work during due to aggressive treatments.


This is what I know...CGgirls are helpful, generous, amazing women.  Yes, if you are reading this...I'm talking about you.


CGgirls, we thought it would be a HUGE blessing to Margie, Mike, Angel and Michael to give them a box of gift cards for Valentine's Day.


Are you in?


  • Gift cards can be to any place and in any amount.

  • Send it with a note of encouragement to my attention by February 13th to Tami Walker c/o  Connection Church 3855 S. Sheldon Rd Canton, MI 48188

  • Let us know to look for the gift card: Sign Up today!   


Please spread this around to women in your life.  We like to do things over-the-top at CG, because Jesus was over-the-top with us, wasn't He?


Questions?  You can reach me on FB, or at 734.397.1777 or tami@connectionchurch.info


Thank You So Much!

For Him,


Tami

Hope Clinic : Thank YOU!

At our last event, 80 women from 8 different churches came out in subzero temps to give Hope Clinic 657 items!  We received this THANK YOU today from them. This will warm anyone up on a cold day -- way to go CGgirls! 
WOW, you make miracles happen!  Thank you so much for your very generous donation of personal care items.  Our shelves are well-stocked with these very important items that are often forgotten by donors but so important to the recipients.

On a personal note, I had a great time at your event.  The women were so welcoming and warm.
Thank you again, and God Bless you and your mission.

Peace,
Mia Moyad, LLMSW
Patient Advocate

Grace. Me?

"O what love
No greater love
Grace, how can it be
That in my sin
Yes, even then
He shed His blood for me."


Sitting in my office listening to Kari Jobe singing...


...such stinging words of grace.


It's the day before our 19th CG event.  Unbelievable to me.


We weren't sure we'd get through one let alone nineteen!


What a privilege it has been to serve God through the gathering of women (CGgirls) who love Him, who are unsure of Him, who are disappointed in Him, maybe even disappointed in the women you see in the mirror.  No matter what you think, the seats of CG are filled with women who fit all of these.        You are ALL welcome to CommonGround tomorrow night.


Is that you today?  Even if you go to church every Sunday but you know church has turned into a club.   Are you wondering how did I get here?  Is the path you are now walking heavy with compromise, shame and guilt?


How did a once surrendered heart get so stinkin far from God?

If that's you, please come tomorrow night?.   Let the One who knows you (not just the you others see, but the real you) be your Healer.  Will you let Him close enough to caress the hair from your eyes,  lift your tear stained cheeks upward, and remind you: It's you,  It's always been you.


"Yes, even then He shed his blood for me."
