We are excited to announce a new Girlfriends Prayer Group entitled, The Yada Yada Prayer Group! "Yada” in Hebrew means “to know and be known intimately” and is found 944 times in the Old Testament! (Of course, in Yiddish it means, “You know, you know” or “whatever.”) But this group is not for just "whatever"! We believe when women pray God hears and responds. We also believe when women uphold each other together in prayer we create an atmosphere where miracles can happen!

Beginning October 3rd we will be meeting before service each Sunday morning between 9:30 and 10:00 a.m. in room 552 at Kentwood HS. We invite you to come join with us as we prayer for one another and our specific needs. Come anytime during that half hour and stay as long or little as you like. Let's join together and pray for one another and see what God will do!
Pick up one or two chocolates for a girlfriend.  Deliver them with a note filled with words of true kindness and encouragment for your friend. Let her know how much God has used her in your life.  Let her know the wonderful things you see in her.  Fill her soul with sweet joy!

"Kind words are like honey - sweet and healthy for the soul." Proverbs 16:24
Do you remember going to camp as a kid and on the last night everyone would all sit around the campfire and throw their pinecones one by one into the fire? (The pinecones represented our sin or something we wanted to let go of in our life). This was always a moving experience. Recently there was an article about a group of women who had gathered at a nearby park for a prayer walk. One woman shared her insight . . .

"I remember picking up the piece of wood and being asked to throw it into the river and allow God to wash it down river. I realized something about myself: I wanted something to keep to remind me of situations I've overcome. I struggled with letting go of the piece of wood, because I wanted to take it home with me as a reminder. How ironic. God wants to release me, and I want to hang on and remember."

"I did let go of my piece of wood and didn't bring it home with me. It was a good learning experience for me - and one I've shared with others."

Let go and watch your obstacles and problems float away as you trust God and release them to Him!
