Halloween Witches – October 11^th

Then, on Friday, October 11th at 6:30 we will be making Halloween Witches from plastic milk and water jugs. What do you need to bring? Bring in those plastic jugs ASAP so we can get them painted an eerie green and get them ready to go. As always, please just bring a dish to share if you can. Hope to see you there!

Invite your friends and family to join us on Friday, March 8th, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Cross of Glory.
We will be having 3 amazing ladies come and speak to us on different aspects of our physical and mental health. This is going to be a great evening for all the women at CoG and any guests they would like to invite! Each of these women are very passionate and knowledgeable about their specific area. If you are experiencing physical illness, injury, stress, anxiety, or depression, this is going to be a positive and empowering evening to help give you some new tools to deal with the issues in your life.

Mary Damiani is going to share about health and wellness products that are offered by Melaleuca; Saulena Antanavi, LCPC NCC, is a Clinical Psychotherapist and specializes in anxiety and depression in adults and children; Christina Ciezczak-Karpiel, LMT is a mobile massage therapist and will educate us on how massage can help a multitude of medical problems.

We will provide some drinks and snacks, but as always, everyone is welcome to bring a treat to pass. There will be an opportunity to talk with the speakers about individual concerns.

Tammy Kjos led our group through some exercises we can do from a chair to keep our low back, hips and shoulders flexible. We also practiced some strategies to quiet the mind chatter. If you can sit in a chair, you can do these simple poses. Donations were accepted for Centro Infantil de los Angeles. (www.centroinfantil.org)

Update: Thank you to everyone who participated in the Chair Yoga Women’s Event. We raised $127.00 for Centro Infantil de los Angeles, our mission in Mexico!

Can I Get A Do-Over???

Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8th  

Do you remember when you were a kid and something did not go your way and you yelled, “DO-OVER!!!!” How often do we as adults wish we could yell that out?

Whether we did something we are not proud of or failed to get something done, we’ve all had that wish for a do-over.

Fortunately, we have a God who loves to grace us with do-overs. We will discover many instances where God has offered second chances to people from Biblical times until now who have asked for a do-over.

Come join us for a weekend of fun, fellowship, and learning. We will share in quiet reflection and lively group activity to help us to grow in our faith and knowledge that our God loves us each dearly and offers us the do-over we desire.
