TONIGHT'S Craft Night!!!

2009-08-17T12:12:00.002-05:00

Potluck/Craft Night
*6:00pm*
at Maria's
1240 Autumn Ridge Ct, Morton
(call Maria if you need directions: cell 648-2457)

Can't wait to see you all there!

Updated food list:

*POTLUCK
->bring enough for 15 people
-pizza dough/crust - Brittany
-pizza sauce -Katie & Heidi
-mozzarella cheese -Haley
-peppers
-olives -Haley
-onions
-mushrooms
-pineapple
-ham
-sausage
-pepperoni -Haley
-anchovies
-chips -Tess
-fruit -Maria
-veggies - Lindsey
-salad -Whittney
-dressing -Whittney
-chocolate chip cookie dough -Lindsay
-cast iron skillets - Taryn
-ice cream -Katie & Heidi
-hot fudge -Katie & Heidi

*CRAFTS
Heather: flowers
I will bring the fabric and beads that I have. If you want a certain fabric, bring it. It needs to be synthetic, a silky or polyester works best. Old shirts from Goodwill or Salvation Army store work really good and they are super cheap. If you are buying fabric, Wal Mart or Hobby Lobby have good selections and are the cheapest (don't bother with JoAnne's- it's really expensive and doesn't singe good). You will only need 1/4 yard of fabric. If you want to make your flower into a headband, bring the headband. I've got ponytail holders and brooch backs that I will bring.

Lindsey & Katie: Scrapbook Notebooks
Bring a notebook, magazines for cut outs, and scrap book materials. These two creative girls will show us how to construct a creative notebook to use as a journal or for school!

MBTI info

Here are some websites that I've used to get info on the MBTI.

**I must give Taryn credit as she most likely found these and sent the links to me.

Weeks 7 & 8

TONIGHT

2009-07-20T13:14:00.002-05:00

Here is your reminder for tonight (Monday, July 20th).

Meet @ Schick's @ 5:00pm to head to Michelle's benefit at the Kewanee Pizza Hut. They are having an all you can eat buffet (YUMM!). I am not sure of the cost. I would assume somewhere around $8-$10.

If you live in/close to Morton we will meet at Morton church @ 4:15pm. Be on time or you may get left!! I (Heather) will be meeting there and if you need to get a hold of me, my cell is 256-1086.

We plan to be back at Schick's around 7:30pm to start Bible study. If you can't make it to the benefit, still come to review the week with us!!

And due to popular request, we will plan a CRAFT NIGHT! This means you need to bring your calendars/planners/date books/cell phones (whatever you keep your schedule in) so we can set a date!

Alright. That's all.

See you tonight!!

Love & prayers,
Heather & Taryn

*CHANGE of schedule for July 20th -BENEFIT!

2009-07-16T12:10:00.005-05:00

This coming Monday (July 20th) there is a fudraiser for Michelle Loesch. Several GBS girls are friends with Michelle and we've been praying for her as she battles cancer.

The fundraiser is at the Pizza Hut in Kewanee from 5:00pm-7:00pm.

We will meet at Schick's at 5:00pm and drive over the Kewanee together.

Anyone who lives in or close to Morton, we will meet at Morton church @ 4:15pm. Please be on time. If you plan to come and don't want to be left, leave a message so we plan on you.

I know it's earlier than usual, but we get to spend time together, eat, and support a wonderful woman in her battle with cancer!!

After the benefit we will go back to Schick's and do week 6 in LYWB.

If you can't come to the benefit, please join us for the study. We plan to get back to Schick's around 7:30pm to start.

-Heather & Taryn

Monday, 7/13

2009-07-12T21:02:00.003-05:00

Just a reminder that Bible study will be at Schick's @ 7pm.

For those of you in Morton, meet at church @ 6:15pm to drive over together.

*Taryn and I will NOT be meeting at church. We will be at Oak Run for the day so we will just meet at Schick's.

Hope you all had a wonderful day today! What a beautiful day to worship our Savior!!

Love & prayers.

-Heather & Taryn

Uhh... boys.

2009-07-10T12:34:00.005-05:00

So you all know I am a big fan of Focus on the Family. Frequently (ok, daily) listen to Dr. Dobson's radio broadcast.

A few days ago they aired an interview with Elisabeth Elliot. You may have heard of her before. She is the author of Passion and Purity and wife of late missionary, Jim Elliot (movie End of the Spear ring any bells?). The interview has 2 parts and aired on July 7th & 8th. It's titled Sexuality and Singles.

Elisabeth shares her story about becoming engaged to Jim and her 2 husbands after him -all while never seeking out a man. Her standards were high and she was focused on Christ. She was definitely at the top of the tree!!

I encourage you to go to Focus on the Family's website and listen to the 2 broadcasts on there. You will be glad you took the time!

Love and prayers,
Heather (and Taryn (I am sure she supports this too!))

Hi, Girls!

Three things...

1. Lies Young Women Believe Book + Work Book

The first bible study will be on Monday, June 8 after Morton's VBS. Anyone coming is welcome to come to VBS in Morton! We will then meet at Taryn's house afterward. If you would like to just meet up with us for the bible study and not for VBS, plan on arriving between 8:30-8:45. Let me know if you need directions (tarynleigh3@gmail.com)--I live at 317 N.

Love you all!

Pray for the Cox family

2009-05-27T23:31:00.003-05:00

I am sure most of you are aware that Jenna's mom is expected to meet Jesus soon.

Jenna has asked for us to "please pray that her business here on earth could be fulfilled and completed, her passing away from this life to the next is peaceful and all of this may be for His glory."

We love you Jenna and are praying for you, your mom and your family!!

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15

Final Head Count.

2009-05-10T21:50:00.003-05:00

If you want in, speak now or forever hold your peace!

We need to order our books in the next week or two and I need a final commitment if I haven't gotten one already. I am counting you in if your name is on the roll call to the right. If you aren't on there, leave a comment and I'll add you. If you are on there and don't want to be, leave a comment and I'll delete you.

I will be ordering them from For His Glory here in Morton. I need to stop in and get a price on the books now that I know closer to the number we need. We will get some sort of a discount, but I am not sure exactly how much yet.

Also, anyone have ideas for our May 30th get together? Your stuck with whatever Taryn and I come up with if you don't give your input!!!! HAAAA!

Hang in there! Only a couple more weeks left until SUMMER!!

love & prayers,
Heather

May 30th... can I get a final vote?

2009-05-01T11:21:00.003-05:00

Happy May Day!!

It looks like May 30th will work the best for us to get together.

Someone said there are possibly testimonies in Peoria that night. Can we confirm this? Would you all be wanting/willing to get together after testimonies?

Does May 30th work for you?

Hope you are all enjoying this wonderful FRIDAY!!!

VBS ...what to do?

2009-04-29T18:04:00.006-05:00

Does anyone know dates for VBS at their church?

Morton's is the week of June 8th- our first Bible study date.

I know that with June we will run into VBS for several of the weeks, so we need to decide what we want to do the weeks we have Bible Study scheduled and there is VBS.

Here are a few options:

We could pick a church to go to for VBS, then to someone's house that is close to church for Bible study after.
Meet before VBS, it would have to be around 5:00pm to get in our study and all the talking that will be done.
Skip Bible study for those weeks.
Skip the Monday night of VBS and do the Bible study instead.

I vote we still go to VBS and would support meeting either before or after to do the study. I hate to put it off until VBS is done for each church, because that will be the end of June.

Opinions?? I know you got 'em!

GBS May Get Together

2009-04-27T22:31:00.002-05:00

Ok...since I didn't stay on top of this before, we will try it again.

I doubt we will find a date when everyone can come, but we'll do our best. And seriously, if you can't cancel your plans to come, then it's not my problem that you don't have your priorities straight!!! :-)

Love & prayers-
Heather

Lies YOUNG Women Believe

2009-04-27T19:16:00.003-05:00

Thanks for looking into which book would be better suited for the study, girls!!

So, I am officially announcing that we will be doing...

As for our big get together before we begin the study, I should probably get on that. I am at school right now (actually in the middle of class, but we had a test and I got done so I have 20 minutes till I have to be back- just explaining that to let you know I don't support skipping class. No! No!!!) and don't have my calendar in front of me, but I will toss out a few dates/times later tonight when I get home.

Taryn and I also have a surprise for you girls!!

It is really cool.

As in, we made it ourselves.

And I am jealous that we didn't make enough for Taryn and I to both get one.

It's ok though. Maybe we'll just have to make more.

Hope you all had a wonderful Monday! Hang in there, summer is just a few weeks away!!!

T-Shirt Designs

2009-04-15T21:30:00.000-05:00

Hi, Girls!

We had discussed the possibility of getting GBS t-shirts. Below are a couple of ideas for designs. Colors can easily be changed, so don't base your decision completely off of that, but I would like everyone to pick a favorite. Vote for your design/concept of choice in the poll on the right. Also, if you have a creative idea, PLEASE share! I am open to ideas for wording/designs, so let me know!

Karalea- you had talked to me recently about the style of the t-shirt. Can you please leave a comment and explain what that is? Thanks!

Girls Night

2009-04-01T22:09:00.003-05:00

Hello! Hello!! HELLO!!!

Oh, how I miss you girls!

Thursdays are just not the same without you all.

We talked about getting together each month for a time of prayer and encouragement and I am looking forward to it.

We need to sat a date. And a place. Is there a night/morning/afternoon that works best for you? I am posting a poll (on the right) to get your input. I will set it so you can vote for more than once choice, so vote for each day/time that works for you. We will got with majority on this one.

Any ideas for where to meet? And what to do? We can do something fun (volunteer, make & deliver cookies/goodies, have a spa night, etc.) or we can just get together. Whatever you girls want to do.

Love & prayers-
Heather

Prayer Requests

2009-03-30T07:00:00.001-05:00

Happy Monday!

Its the start of a new week filled with opportunities to make our requests known to God!!

If you have a prayer request (or 2 or 3) that you would like others to pray for, share them in the comment area.

ANNOUNCEMENT!!

2009-03-07T12:03:00.010-06:00

NO! Not THAT announcement! I'm announcing our next Bible study!

Coming June 2009...

Lies Women Believe
*Monday nights
7:00pm

* We will meet the first 3 Mondays of each month, and then take the 4th Monday off. We'll see how it goes for June and we can always switch back to every-other week if it is too much. Since June has 5 Mondays (and school will still be in session for some of you on the 1st) let's do the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Mondays and take the 5th one off.

If you are committed to doing the Bible study on Monday nights, please let us know by voting (in the top right corner) and also leave a comment with your name and email. Once I see that you are in, I'll add your name to the list on the right side of the blog.

-Heather

Prayer Requests

2009-03-06T23:31:00.003-06:00

I thought it would be neat to have a place where we can post prayer requests and also updates/praises on previous requests.

After thinking about this, the best way I could come up with is to do a prayer post each week and we can add requests in the comment section. By doing this, you would leave a request in the comments and you can also write a little note letting others know you are praying for them.

I'm posting this tonight, but from now on I'll set it up to post each Monday morning. We'll try it for a few weeks to see how it goes.

-Heather

Saturday

2009-03-06T08:14:00.001-06:00

Can I just say that I love you girls? You have no idea how amazing you are. Each of you have touched my heart in such a special way. It excites me to hear your hearts, the passion you have for Christ and the burden that each of you have for the lost! You girls are each so special and each bring your own unique piece to complete our beautiful puzzle. How was that for an analogy?!?! :-)

Ok, I'm done being sappy. Sorry...it's late and I'm full of Chex Mix and chocolate.

Here is the plan.

Saturday, March 7th
9:00am

in Washington

We will watch the last session with Beth.
Bring Kleenex, I have a feeling it will be a sad farewell.

We will decide on our next study.
Here are the choices we thought of tonight. *Feel free to bring other options with you, these are just the ones that we thought of off the top of our heads!

Take a look at the books online or stop by a bookstore (Barnes & Nobles and Borders should both carry them).

1. Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World

2. Lies Young Women Believe

This one has a companion (study) guide that goes with the book.

3. Lies Women Believe

This one also has a companion guide.

We will try to set a day/time to meet this summer.

We will also plan our sleepover!! And talk more about 30 Hour Famine.

Bring your calendars!

-Heather

Here is a link to a list of Beth Moore studies listed on ChristianBook.com. The site gives a short description of each study.

Lifewaystores.com has video samples of the DVDs for each study. The promo and trailer for Esther is here. For a complete listing of Beth's studies, enter "beth moore bible study dvd leader kit" in the search box. The video clips are under the "DVD Leader Kit" for each study.

I just changed the comment option. It should now be open for everyone to comment, even if you do not have a Blogger account. Sorry if you tried before and it did not let you.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to our blog!

We are now official... and a little nerdy. :)

Add it to your favorites right now so you don't forget. You will want to have it handy to check each week.

Why a blog?
Other than the fact they are cool, the purpose of the blog is to enhance communication about upcoming studies. Now no one will have to do a mass email while praying they remembered to include everyone. It is now your responsibility to check the blog and see what is going on. Ok?

There is an email account for Bible study: acgirlsbiblestudy@gmail.com
A contact list has already been set up in the email. It contains all the girls who were on the "Bible Study Contact List" email Larissa sent out last September. If you received that, you are good. If you did not receive that email, send a friendly email to acgirlsbiblestudy@gmail.com and you will be added to the list. If you know someone who was on that list and no longer wants to be in GBS, send an email so we can take them off the list.

We discussed a few things at Brittany's house on 2/19

The next Bible Study will be at Taryn's house (317 N Third, Morton) on March 5th.
Spend the next couple of weeks looking into other Bible studies. Bring details on 2-3 that you would like to do next time. We will see which ones had the most interest and decide on one then.
Bring the names and emails of girls you would like to invite to join our GBS. We do not want to exclude anyone.
If you know it already (yeah right!), bring your summer schedule. We decided to take a short break until closer to the end of the semester (Mayish) before starting another study. This means that the next one will be over the summer. So think about which night you prefer and how often you could do it (every week vs. every-other week).
Taryn is working on a few t-shirt designs for us. She will post them on the blog so make sure you check for those.

One more little thing to discuss. Andrea is due March 3rd. I know most of you girls have been with her for 2 years now for Bible study. This is completely up to you girls (but I just had to toss it out there) if we would want to throw her a little Baby Shower once the baby arrives. It's just a suggestion and I want your input. Even if we would all go in on one gift (to help keep cost down) we would still have an excuse to get together and see the baby (and Andrea). A poll has been posted on the sidebar, so please express your opinion there.

That's all.

For now.

Now grab your study, your Bible, find a quiet corner and get to work!! STUDY! STUDY! STUDY!
