Book Selected & Date Set

Do you feel less than perfect? Do you feel unworthy of God's love? Do you feel that you reguarly fall short of the plan God has for you? If this is you, your not alone. This is me too. Our first book is going to be A Perfect Mess by Lisa Harper. "In your less-than-lovely moments, God sees a precious daughter in need of His perfect love."

January 15, 2010 will be the first official Butterflies Gather & Grow gathering at my house. We will meet on the third Friday of each month. The weeks that we do not meet in person, we will meet online. Each week there will be a question or comment for everyone to respond to. This will help us reflect on our reading and share with each other. So if you'd like to join us, here's what he need to do:

Taking Flight

Butterflies Gather & Grow will meet once a month in someone's home. I am looking at the 3rd Friday of each month. The weeks that we don't gather as a group, we will gather online. Each week I will post a discussion question or topic. Then from our reading and Bible Study, we can each contribute our thoughts about what we've learned. How does that sound? I would like to start getting an idea of how many people are interested. So if you are interested, please comment below or email me at klb4him@hotmail.com. Be Blessed!

Answering God's Call - Inspired by God's Servant

My Grandmother began many prayer groups for women during her years in the ministry. I feel God has called me to step out and really minister to women. So, here we go. Butterflies Gather and Grow is going to be a small group intimate Bible Study for women. Gather and Grow groups are a new ministry through Proverbs 31 ministries. Where did 'Butterflies' come from? Well, butterflies were one of my grandmother's favorite creations. Since she has been my inspiration to start this ladies' group, I wanted to honor her in the name. Also, the goal of this small group is for each woman to be transformed in Christ like a caterpillar is transformed into a butterfly. Below is the link with more information about Proverbs 31 ministries forever31 Groups. I have sent off for the leader's kit. Once I have the materials, I will be setting up our first 'Gathering.' Please keep this new ministry in your prayers as well as me as a begin to prepare.
