Big News: Spread the word -- on Sunday, April 26th  we're
all wearing our commonground tees to spread the CG
love during our church services.

Don't delay --get your shirt today.
It's the only way -- okay?

passion with legs

The question we have to ask ourselves is this...

What would happen if our passion to serve God developed legs and we carried it to the world --and changed it?

This week I received a phone call from a women who was directed to Connection Church from the Salvation Army for help.   She had a job interview this Saturday (today!) and wanted to know if we had any business clothes for her to wear on  her interview.    A simple email went out to a few women --  and within 48 hrs,  this woman was overwhelmed with an abundance of clothing in her size.   Not just one or two or five outfits, but bags of  clothing! Nice clothes, too -- some still with tags. One of the ladies put this note in with the clothes...girl to girl.

Asking the question again...

What would happen if our passion to serve God developed legs and we carried it to the world --and changed it?

Full Steam Ahead...

We had the opportunity to share about commonground at the Women's Getaway over the weekend and at two bible studies this week.    Its exciting to see women show the commonground love and wear their pink tees around!    So far the response to CG has been great.    Also,  I've met ladies from a few other churches and they are excited to come out and be a part of what God is doing. 

I've had several people ask... what exactly will happen on May 1st?    Here is what the night looks like: 

We'll gather for an hour or so of worship.  Amy Voss is coming in to lead worship for us!   And then we'll move over to a special area at Connection Church...and have a few hours of appetizers and conversation.  Ugly Mugs' Cafe will be open for business if ladies want to buy a specialty coffee. 

The purpose of the evening is for relationships to build for Kingdom purpose.   To give women a chance to network -- I mean hey -- women get together all the time and network to build their careers.   Why not get together to build the Kingdom?    Ladies...all it takes is for one idea to grow legs for a life to change.  Seriously.  

Girls,  please be in prayer for commonground.  That we would walk in wisdom and be true to what we believe are our marching orders from God.  We're stepping out of the boat and need to keep our eyes on Jesus!

If you have any questions about CG or would like to be involved...please contact me at commonground3855@gmail.com.   

Have a great week --
Tami

Amy Voss has been involved in music her entire life.  While attending college, she was presented with an opportunity to lead worship for a new worship event called "The Well."   Although she had never experienced true worship up until that point in her life, God used her in this and ignited a passion in her.  Amy has been involved in many different roles in church worship ministries and is also a guest worship leader for conferences and events.  Amy and her husband, Frank, and  5 year old Jaeden, currently live in Grand Rapids, MI.  They are very involved at Mars Hill Bible Church.
