Like Sunshine on a Cloudy Day....CGGIRLS!

As Project Crazy Love is ramping up...the days get longer and the struggles with putting together a big event seem to get stickier.  It never fails that when we need encouragement it comes.  Isn't that one of the neatest things about serving a very personal God.  He just "gets us" -- and as women that is a miracle in itself,  amen ?  ;)

We received this note today on FB:

I am moved each time I've come (to CG) and floored with everything from the band (AWESOME!), to the treats, to even the details of counting the gifts and churches who attend.  (I'm a cheeseball, I know) Thank you for hosting this event and allowing me to be a part.  I can't wait for January to be floored again.  LOVE LOVE LOVE Commonground.

Awww...  :)  That made our day!

Guess what?  We are cheeseballs, too! We love seeing the impact that God is making through our collective effort.  Stats are important to us...big KUDOS to Kim Ryan, our CG Inventory Specialist, who tackles the enormous job of counting all the items as they are brought into each event.   Give that girl a calculator and clipboard and just stand out of her way... :)

Known, Loved, Invited...

Loving those far from God is easier when we remember that all of us have been far from God at some point.

God is a great Father.

Crazy in love with His creation.  It's often called His Unfailing Love in the Word.

This all-knowing God, the One who is captivated with each one of us...knows.

Let that set in today...chicks, we are known.

He loves us with the full knowledge of exactly who we are.

That is the love story He has invited us into...each one of us.

Who of us doesn't love a great love story?

Will you consider helping 14 girls who are far from God see that they are known, loved and invited

into the greatest love story ever?

Project Crazy Love:  Friday, October 21st 7pm

Connection Church
3855 Sheldon Rd.
Canton, MI 48188

Ok, Ok...I'm in!  Now what?

1. Bring your unwrapped
gifts to the event on Friday, Oct. 21st.  If you weren't at the last
event and didn't get a chance to pull a gift tag from the stinkin' cute
pink Christmas Tree then please feel free to bring a gift card (you
choose the $$$) from one of these stores:  Meijer, Walmart, Kohls, Old
Navy or Target.

 2. Are you like me and use bags at Christmas instead of wrapping paper?  Well
if you are and have been wondering what to do with all of the half
used Christmas wrap in your closets...we have a solution!  Please bring
it to the event on Friday, October 21st!  We'll hand it off to the
Project Crazy Love gift wrap team.

Camp Kesem: Helping kids who just need to be kids!

Hi CG Girls!

At our July 15th event the outreach spotlight will be on Camp Kesem.   If you weren't at the last event you missed this video that explains a bit about the kid experience at the camp.   We wanted to post it today so you could see it!
