This month on November 16th at 7pm at my house, we’re carrying a spirit of Thanksgiving!
We’re asking everyone to bring 3 cards
with you as well as your names and addresses of 3 people you want to thank in some way.
We’ll start out with our fellowship and food, then take some time to write our cards and address them.
Yes, we’re focused on snail mail!
Don’t worry about the postage, we’ll take care of that!
Just let us know if you are joining us and make sure to bring your cards! If you forget, we will have some extra.
I can’t think of a better way to spend the evening than to not only encourage but to be thankful!
What a special night of fellowship! The baked potato bar was spectacular and yummy. We laughed and just talked as we filled out cards to bless others! At the end we shared one person we sent a card to and why we’re thankful for them.

Hi everyone! Where has the time gone?
FYI, our next GNO is August 24th at 7pm at my house!
We’re going “Back to School” but with a twist!
We’ll be gearing up for orientation, looking at our bus route, getting our class schedule, and more!
If you’re like me, really doing that again gives me a bit of a nervous stomach,
so good thing it’s with a twist!
And, all throughout we’ll be eating our school lunch together!
If you feel led to help us prepare that lunch, we’re looking for some fruit, some veggies, and some sweets.
Finally, you need to enroll and let us know if you’ll be attending.
However, walk ins are welcome as well!
We’re looking so forward to spending time with you.
Have a great week or two and we’ll see you on the 24th!

where we could come together and encourage, love on and build one another up,
I don’t think we would have imagined what all has transpired.
We are so very thankful for all who have come, helped, laughed, shared, cried, prayed and so much more.

March 2022
Hi Everyone!
Welcome to March and almost Spring (after this weekend) where it will be lighter longer and warmer day by day!
We had a blast with our Facebook live GNO in February!
From that live video, together we came up with our theme for our March GNO!
Here you go:
Thursday, March 17, 7pm at my house
St. Patrick’s Day theme completely comfy casual wearing hoodies and sweats, GREEN of course!
We’re doing a breakfast theme with all the GREEN food you can think of!
I have a list below of what we came up with and now
we need to know who will be joining us and what on the list can and will you bring?
Green Tea
Green bagels and/or green cream cheese
Green pancakes
Key Lime ice cream
Key Lime pie
Spinach Quiche (Jess Crawford)
Salad/Cucumbers
Doughnuts with green icing
Green biscuits and gravy (Tiger and Sandy M.)
Green eggs and ham
Pickles
Key Lime tarts
Sugar cookies with green icing
Ok, there you have it!
We’re going to be comfy and have breakfast for dinner!
We’ll have a little surprise for you also as well as our prize give away at the end of the night!
Hope to see you there!!!!
February 2022
Hi Everyone! Are you ready?
TAG! YOU’RE IT!
We’re going out on a limb this month and playing “phone tag!”
How in the world do you play that?
We’re not sure either, but we’re going to give it a shot!
If you’re interested in playing TAG let us know and we’ll put you on the schedule or list.
Here’s what we envision!
On February 17, 2022 from 7:00-7:30p – all those playing must be by their phone,
you will receive a number ahead of time, tag is started by one call.
That person will call, tell the person they’re calling why they’re thankful for them or a nice quality they have,
then say goodbye so they can call their person!
After calling you will let us know you called via text, to me, so we can keep track of the number of “tags”.
Then that person will do the same with whom they’re calling.
If this goes according to plan, fingers crossed, our goal is to see how many times we can go around the circle of callers,
being thankful in the half hour timeframe!
If this sounds a bit confusing, you’ve got it!
Bottom line, do you want to play? We’ll take it from there and keep you posted.
Then, we’ll go live on our Facebook group from 7:45-8:00p.
We’re excited to run away with the chat box and share what we were thankful for and some other fun topics of discussion!
We’ve got a prize for the person with the most participation! Or, something like that!
Well, I hope you’re up for the fun, the figuring this out, and the following through.
We love this group, your willingness to make adjustments, and your commitment to being a part of it.
Let us know if you’re in and then stay tuned!
Have a blessed day!

January 2022
Hi everyone! I wanted to touch base with you regarding our next GNO!
We are scheduled to meet on Thursday, January 20th!
This month we have decided to go with the theme, “You’re loved, and only a phone call away!”
Given the current circumstances, we thought it would be a good idea reach out and touch someone by calling them.
If you are interested in participating, here’s what you need to know.
- Let us know if you want to participate by Tuesday, Jan. 18th
- We will let you know by Wednesday, Jan. 19th who you will be either calling or receiving a call from
- and provide you with a few starter questions if you’d like to use them
- Sometime on Thursday, Jan. 20th, you will be touching base and speaking with that person.
- After your call we’d like to hear from you either via email or text (614) 832-3224 to let us know how your time together went.
- Once we hear from you, we will put things out on our Facebook group and in an email.
I hope you will consider participating.
There are so many who are ill, know someone who is ill, or are recovering.
So many are in need of encouragement and prayer.
So, we hope this will provide the opportunity to lift others up,
share in getting to know each other, and spread some love and cheer.
Stay warm and be encouraged!
December 9th – Monthly GNO – 7pm
December 10th – GNO Christmas Caroling!
IMPORTANT NEWS:
• Thank you to all of you that have sponsored a child and/or family for Christmas. Together we have sponsored 24 kids!
If you are still interested in sponsoring a child, you will need to let me know by Tuesday, Nov. 16th!
• Hopefully soon I will get the names of the children and their list. We are expected to spend $50-75 on each child (this may be the only Christmas they have).
In addition, depending on how many families this represents, we are asked to provide food gift cards to Krogers/Walmart.
Each child’s gifts are to be wrapped with their name on them and placed in a big bag so they can keep each child’s gifts together.
All gifts are to be returned to my house by Dec. 13th! As soon as I get the list I will let you know!
• Our December GNO will be on Thursday, December 9th at 7pm. Merry Christmas theme!
• Our Christmas caroling will be on Friday, December 10th,
we will depart from my house at 6pm. (no need for a good voice, just a good heart!)
It is CRITICAL that you let us know which of these events you will be joining us.
That’s it for now!

GNO January 2021
Happy New Year!!
We’re looking forward to sailing with you through these choppy waters in 2021 trusting that God is fully in control.
And, we’re thankful to be working together with each of you in this ministry.
Though it looks a bit different right now, please know we are continuing to pray and
walking obediently in the direction our most precious Lord is taking us.
We would rather be together, in person, with each of, hugging, sharing, and eating!
Oh how we miss that!
BUT, we are choosing to focus on today being thankful for fresh ideas and the continuation of this ministry.
Our focus has been on “outreach” and we love it!
So, are you ready?
Our next GNO is January 21, 2021.
We are asking for volunteers to bake cookies of various kinds to be delivered to my house on the 21st.
We are also needing volunteers to write “encouraging” or “thinking of you” cards.
Our mission is to deliver cookies and cards to 3 local nursing/assisted living homes. During this pandemic, it seems these folks have been hit hard whether with the virus, loneliness, or isolation and we want to reach out to let them know we care and they matter. We’d like to have at least 75 cards written, generically addressed so it fits the person it may be handed to.
Yes, I said 75!
Would you consider stepping up to help us reach out and start this year off with a bang in helping others?
We need to hear from you and know if you would help us accomplish this.
Then, we will deliver the cookies and cards to each place after the 21st.

Our next GNO is Thursday, April 16th at 7pm!
Once again, rather than meet physically, we will meeting individually for prayer at 7pm.
We are asking each of you to join us in doing so on that evening, at that precise time. And, if you could let us know that you are joining us in some way I’d appreciate it.
IN ADDITION to our prayer time, our April GNO will consist of encouraging someone else!
We are asking everyone to be involved in this!
We would like everyone to think of 3 people that God has placed on your heart and send them a card in the mail to remind them how special they are, how loved they are, and to encourage them.
So, between NOW and April 16th, would you help us spread love? And, when you do could you let us know?
Imagine the number of hearts that will be lifted by both reaching out and then concluding with prayer!
We are very honored and proud to be a part of this ministry!
We’ll look forward to hearing from you! Until then, stay safe, STAY HOME, and spread love.
