Hearts at Home National Conference

Calling all moms (and moms-to-be)! Mark your calendars for the annual Hearts at Home National conference. This conference for moms, held every year in Bloomington, IL is coming up on March 13-14. General sessions with speakers such as Jill Savage & Dr. Kevin Leman, along with practical workshops (among them: "Raising Financially Savvy Kids" & "Setting a Standard for Purity") bring you training and encouragement in the toughest job you've ever had - motherhood.

If you're interested in attending or want more information talk to Emily Neal (630-226-0699) or Lara Krupicka (630-357-7265). Or check out the website: www.hearts-at-home.org.

Book club

We are starting to hear some interest in the idea of starting a book club!

The group would meet once a month in the evening to discuss books chosen by the group. Those attending the group would help with hosting, bringing snacks and deciding what books to read. We would try to read one book a month.

We would like to find out how many people are interested and then schedule a time to get together for coffee to discuss the details of the group.

If you are interested, e-mail us for more details: ctcwomenslink at gmail dot com (written as an e-mail with no spaces).

Looking for a sitter

We are looking for a student or adult who would like to make a little extra money (and provide a HUGE blessing to CTC women) by babysitting during our Women's Bible study.

The study will meet from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday mornings in southwest Naperville.

If you are interested, e-mail us for more details: ctcwomenslink at gmail dot com (written as an e-mail with no spaces).

Thanks!!

Purity in Heart conference

If you are interested in attending this conference, please let us know! We will hook you up with other women who are planning to attend:

Calling all moms, grandmothers, and friends of “tweens”

If you want to help your tween (7-12 year-old-girl) stay morally pure, but feel inadequate for the task, Pure In Heart is for you! Bring your tween to this day-long conference and captivate her heart before the world does. Ignite a passion for purity in her as she explores her identity as a beloved daughter of the King!

Women's Bible study - DETAILS!

We are so excited about getting started with the Women’s Bible Study next Tuesday, Jan. 27!

We will meet from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the home of Sarah West, 4420 Buttermilk Ct., Naperville.

We have 11 women signed up for the study, which we believe will be a great sized group to allow for discussion. We will be watching a short video segment each week of Beth Moore and then going through the study together. We will bring the books to the first meeting. The cost is $15.

We have not had any success finding a babysitter for the group, so we have a couple of options:

First, let us know if you know of a homeschooler or an adult who would like to make some extra money by sitting during the study.

Until we find someone, we will set up a rotation with the women who have children to take turns as the babysitter. We realize that the women with newborns probably won’t be able to help, so please don’t feel bad! We all have our seasons in life where we can do more!

Please continue to pray along with Lara and I that the childcare would go smoothly, whether that means finding a babysitter or taking turns with childcare!

Please also let us know if you have any other ideas of suggestions!

Lara and I have been praying for the study and we are thankful for the group God is bringing together.

We will be ordering the books this afternoon, so if you know of anyone else who would like to join us, or if your plans have changed, please let us know!
