Special Project Needs Special Women

Hey you CNC readers and bloggers! I have questions for you.

• Do you like to gather information?
• Interview People?
• Write?

Then contact me today to hear about a special Mother’s Day project. It will bless your socks OFF to work on it. And of course the women will be blessed too.

I can’t do this all on my own and need lots of help. Pretty please with red licorice and M&M’s on top.

Women: 2 Tips to Silence Your Giant’s Taunting

Tip #1 Proper Mindset - “Focus on Giants –You Stumble. Focus on God – Your Giants Tumble” (Max Lucado).  

Tip #2 Gather Your Ammunition – Join the women’s Facing Your Giants small group. It starts Wednesday, January 31, 9-11 am in Rudat Hall. This book by Max Lucado will give you ammunition for giant slaying. This small group will give you encouragement, friendship and prayer as you meet those giants head on. 

Does your giant do this? “[Does] he taunt you with bills you can’t pay, people you can’t please, habits you can’t break, and failures you can’t face?” 

Then you do this. “Rush your giant with a God-saturated soul… You can face your giant, even if you aren’t the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, or the holiest.”  

This women’s small group will help you do that. Sign up today. Write “no more giants small group” on your registration slip. Or call one of the co-leaders listed below. 

If you have any questions, you can contact Lorna or Sarah Insco or the church office (635-5992). 

Childcare is provided, but RSVP to Lorna ASAP so there will be adequate childcare.

I Promise: That 2007 Will Be Great Year for Ladies

Hi CNC Ladies,

Much is happening in 2007: M&M Saturdays, Annual Tea, Secret Sisters, Retreat. Of course, buy a cookbook!

To read the specific details download the attachment and keep it handy.

I hope your holiday preparations are going well.

• I’ve sorted through most of the Christmas boxes. My intent is to divide all the decorations amongst my children and I.
• My tree (a white one) is up and gorgeous. I’ve gone with a red, gold and green theme. Plus I’ve hung the ornaments my children have made throughout the years. If you are in the area, I’d love for you to come visit. Maybe I’ll figure out how to take a photo and post it here.
• The Christmas cards are not done.At this point I may not get to that. They are bought. Some are even addressed. But I haven’t written our Christmas letter. I can’t send the cards without that!
• The presents are all bought (except one). They are wrapped in red paper waiting for green/red/gold bows to be attached. I’ve never wrapped all my pressies in one color before. It looks festive.
• So what’s on your agenda for today?

8. For men only – save October 27-29 for a great weekend at Alliance Redwoods. Contact Mark A. for more information.

9. Bring to church your old cell phones and used ink jet cartridges. Let the Women’s Ministry dispose of them for you. So far we’ve collected about 7 phones and 60 cartridges. Thank you for supporting us in this fundraiser.

10. Women’s Ministry is still taking names for those who are able to participate as meal volunteers. We are developing a list of people who can occasionally take a meal to a family/person in need. Let Reggie know of your interest. Email her at cncwomensministry@yahoo.com.

11. Find a small group to be a part of - as a leader or attendee. Both are needed. There’s a list of groups in the church office. Contact Susan for questions or “Yes, I’d love to be a small group leader.”

12. Pick up a revised church directory from the office. The phone numbers it contains are for your use. Invite some folks over for a BBQ, coffee break at La Bou, midnight bowling, or play date at a local park. Use the addresses to send a few encouragement, thank you or glad to meet you cards this week.

13. Do one thing this week to encourage one of our pastors or their wives. The church website (at the bottom) has some great ideas. I’ve included some of the links here , here and here for your convenience.
