Memorial Day Weekend

I love Memorial Day weekend! Summer is here and while it does not feel warm enough yet, the promise of summer and back yard fun has arrived! School is winding down for the kids and summer activities are being planned. So often summer comes and we take a break ...even from our spiritual walk. Other things get in the way of Sunday morning worship and even our daily time with the Lord.

What is going on with the Women of CCCP this summer? We are excited about our new fall plans but what we are wondering is how many of you would like to have summer activities? Do you desire a summer study? Please email me at IEDJ64@aol.com if you would like to be part of a summer study.

Our desire is that we remain connected to God and each other as we wander through the lazy days of summer.

Blessings

Welcome!

It is an amazing thing...blogging I mean! Thanks for logging on and checking us out. It is really important to get as many women as possible to take the survey. Don't forget to comment! God has blessed us with an amazing group of women at Christ Community Church...but alot of us do not know each other.

The stories I have heard from many, many women have encouraged my own journey. Just yesterday a young mom said to me that what Pastor Fred had said in his mother's day sermon about how young moms struggle with an identity issues helped her realize that she was not alone in that struggle! Come fall we are going to have a new mom's small group that will meet as one of the options at Coffee Break. This will be a great place to explore life as a new mom. Other groups we are planning are small groups for women only.... places to grow...places to feel safe among new friends.

And if you want to get involved LET US KNOW! There is a spot for you to use your gifts!

Blessings.

"M" is for the Many things she gave me!

Yes, it's Mothers' Day, so Happy Mothers' Day to anyone who has children - but also to the rest of you, because you either have or had a mother. Does that cover us all?

God has been so gracious to allow us in on His creative purposes, and motherhood is certainly right up there on blessings. If you haven't yet blessed your mother today, give her a call, write her a note, or tell her face to face how much you appreciate her. If your mother has already passed on, perhaps you'd like to journal about what she meant to you.

Remember the old song? (I didn't either, so I had to look it up)
M is for the many things she gave me
O means only that she's growing old
T is for the tears she shed to save me
H is for her hands I used to hold
E is everything she did to help me
R is right and right she'll always be!
Put them all together they spell
MOTHER ... the woman that means everything to me!

Please take our survey!

While we're getting connected, please let us know how to do that better by taking a simple survey. We'd like to say we'd give you a prize for taking it, but the prize will be that you're helping to shape the women's ministry at Christ Community Church. How's that for a prize?
