Winter GMG Enrollment Begins Today & A GMG Christmas Party at my house!

Posted in Ephesians

The fall session of Good Morning Girls ended last week so I invited my GMG friends (who all happen to live near me) to come over to my house for a Good Morning Girls Christmas party. What I LOVE about Good Morning Girls is it’s more than just keeping each other accountable to be in God’s Word, we form lasting friendships and when given the chance to get together many do. I’ve received tons of pictures of GMG groups getting together for play-dates, girls nights out or even traveling to see each other face-to-face! Its amazing the bond that can form when women start digging into God’s Word and sharing what they are learning!!!

Before the party started I decided to open my house to all of you as well…..by taking a few pictures.:)You are welcome here……come sit down, make yourself at home and I’ll grab you a piece of cake! I’m happy you’re joining us!

Please note, I did NOT make this cake!!! My husband and I love to shop at Costco and while you can find good deals there…..you can also pick up this delicious cake! Did you notice I didn’t even take off the plastic bottom?!!! The cake was so heavy I was afraid to!

Come sit down, this is my favorite chair in my house!

I love to add these Christmas ball ornaments throughout my house. Its a simple, easy way to add some color to any room.

My mantel- simple again, all the Christmas decorations I purchased at Target…another one of my favorite stores.

My staircase, I purchased this garland at Costco and just added the red Christmas ball ornaments to give the garland a little “pop”.

My FAVORITE place to sit with my family…..my kitchen table. For those of you who have seen some of my GMG videos…..you’ll recognize this spot! I love it in the winter because of the fireplace. I love it in the fall and spring because of the great breeze that comes in when I open the windows…but most importantly I love this spot because of the ones who sit around it.

I have my manger scene located in my kitchen right next to my table….it’s a great conversation piece and its actually plastic so my girls can play with it…although baby Jesus does tend to do some uncharacteristic things sometimes and Mary has to put him in timeout. Ha!

Well I hope you enjoyed my GMG Christmas party tour! Now lets get started forming your own GMG group! I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us this session!

Here’s a few IMPORTANT details:

1. RETURNING Good Morning Girls - please RE-enroll.  We wiped clean the old message boards and start new every session.  So in order for us to know who is out there and to get an accurate count – we ask that you re-enroll.

2. Ephesians Bible Study gals! Subscribe - We encourage you to subscribe to the feed of GoodMorningGirls.org. Our Monday, Wednesday, and Friday posts will come into your email inbox so you never miss a day!

3. Ephesians Bible Reading Plan & SOAP Print-out sheets coming soon...

4. Can you have a Good Morning Girls group but opt out of the Ephesians Study? Yes, your group may already be in a Bible study together or each do your own thing!  The Ephesians study is optional!

5. When do we start? You will begin emailing/Facebooking/Tweeting/texting your groups Sunday, January 15th is a warm-up day just to say “Hi”.  The Ephesians Study Week 1 reading will begin on Monday, January 16th!

For NEWBIES!  Here’s what you do:

1.  Invite your friends to join your Good Morning Girls group - it runs from January 15th-April 15th. If you don’t like email – use Facebook, Twitter or texting!

2.  Don’t have friends to invite? Go to the Message Board and find like-minded women there who have already started groups or start your own on there!

How to Enroll:

Click here – then go to the thread “ROLL CALL” and enter your name, city and state, and number of girls in your group.

Can you join the on-line study and not have a group?  Absolutely!!! We welcome anyone who wants to join us to study God’s word and we invite you to leave a comment on this post if you are joining us without a group so we know you are here!!!  We are curious to know how many follow along without a group (for future studies) - so please let us know you are here!!!

So let’s get Roll Call started!  Are you in?

Good morning sister in Christ,
I am definately on board for our next session. Unreal how Jesus works wonders in your life when you’re in fellowship with him. It’d be fun to have a couple girls to do the session with, but me and Jesus make quite a good team :)
Can’t wait to begin! Take Care & have a Very Merry Christmas!

Hi Courtney & Angela -
Thank you so much for your I John study. I participated without a group. At this time, I am a work at home mom. Something entirely new. Husband was injured years ago –20+ –after we were first married, so –it has been a while since I’ve been able to get to a bible study. We have 2 wonderful children -so this online study you offer has been a god send as I juggle by daily walk w christ, family and work. I don’t recall how I sorta fell across your blog but I did -it was meant to be!I am so enjoying the community of bloggers that make up your audience–it has refreshed my heart! I am in the over 30 years young with 23 years of experience crowd!!!–:)LOL and so wished there was something like this back in the day. I don’t blog but subcribed via RSS– I’m ramblin’ here, but so wanted to you to know how valuable your blog has been for me and from reading other blog comments –you are reaching so many women of faith. Thaks for allowing me to express my gratitude to you all. Love and many blessings to you & yours this christmas. Looking forward to January 2012.

henriette - December 27, 2011 - 4:33 am

Good morning girls,

I am grateful to join the good morning girls bible study for the second time.

To study the first letter of John was a great pleasure and really, really helpful!
I’ve got a bad diagnosis: breast cancer, and on 14th of November I underwent breast surgery (mastectomy). Without Jesus Christ, my Saviour, my Lord, my God, everything would have been desastrous. Now I am fine again – and I am looking forward to the next session.

I am alone, without a group and I live in Germany.

Jennifer - December 27, 2011 - 10:23 am

I am looking forward to being a part of this Bible study! I don’t have a group, so I’ll be flying solo!

Can’t wait to get started, I participated in the Ministry of Motherhood study and 1 John study with a wonderful group of girls, however this time I’m going to try it solo. Much appreciation to you both for this study! Happy New Year! Blessings to all.

Maria @ A Blooming Spirit - December 27, 2011 - 4:00 pm
