Projectbackpack in full swing!

God never fails us.  About ten days before each CommonGround event, we start to get the sense that He is up to something unique with the upcoming event.   God never fails us. (Trust us, we've failed him plenty...but He never fails us!)

He is starting to perk some bubbalicious excitement around here...and we love it!!  

Christa Alberts, our CG worship leader, shows off two of the backpacks dropped off today. We can't wait to have all of the CG girls from all different churches worshiping One God on July 16th.   This is #5 for us !    Who would have thought?  Only God. :)

There is still plenty of time to go out and grab a backpack (please pay for it...stealing...would probably not be so cool :) ) and fill it with these six items:  ruler, glue sticks, notebook, 24pk of crayons, pencils and colored pencils.

We'll be taking these backpacks to St. Mary's Community Outreach.  They'll be giving them to kids who attend their "BACK to SCHOOL"  fair in August. 

As someone put it so clearly earlier..."Every kid deserves to start school with school supplies."  

Yep, we agree.  

Even more than that -- every kid deserves the opportunity to know that Jesus loves them.  By meeting this need CommonGround girls can help show them.  

Thank you girls for taking the love of Jesus from the pews to the pavement.   A life of service to the Lord is about the coolest thing anyone can do with their life.
