Keeping Connected

I love having a blog that keeps us connected to each other.  In a larger church it can be difficult to feel like you know or are known by others.  I would like to try something new!  I know there are several women in our church who have or are a part of a business.  There are other women who are trying to get a writing career off the ground.  There are others that are involved in other areas of ministry in the church that may want to get the word out about an event pertaining to women (i.e. new Bible Studies, etc.). I would love for this to be a place where we can get the word out about those things!  I'm going to label them as Keeping Connected so they will appear in a group heading on the left side of the blog.  I would also like to add websites to our website list on the left.  Or add blogs to our blog list of other women who blog in the church.  Please let me know if anything comes to mind!  Email me at kringenberg@gmail.com!

Get to Know You

Hi Ladies!  Don't forget about the Craft Night tomorrow!  See the left column for details!

Get to Know Linda!

Describe your family:

My husband and I will celebrate our 35th anniversary this year. We have two adult children: Ashley & Ryan and a wonderful daughter-in-law, Lauren and great son-in-law, Jeremy

What are your passions?

My passion is to spend time with family and friends. I enjoy watching many sporting events and enjoy playing tennis, racquetball, hiking, biking, skiing and snowshoeing.

When do you become a Christian?

I grew up going to church and learning about the love of God since I was little, but really drew closer to God when I went to college.

Where is your favorite place that you have traveled?

I love to travel but don't really have a favorite place. Each place has it's own unique characteristics that have captured my interest. Some places that stand out are Bermuda, Stockholm, London and some of the Caribbean Islands.

What are your hobbies?

I enjoy reading and making cards in my spare time.

How long have you been attending Arvada Covenant and are you involved (or would like to be involved) in any ministries?

I've attended ACC for about 14 years and have been involved in Youth Ministry as well as Women Ministries (currently)

Name one way God has given you your heart's desire.

My kids (never take that for granted)!

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

I'm a native and love Colorado. If I moved anywhere else, it would be to a more temperate climate year round.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Grow up??

When was the last time you laughed and why?

I laughed at my cat last night because the things they get themselves into are soooo funny. Let's just say that she was somewhere that she was not supposed to be.

Thanks for sharing with us, Linda!!

Get To Know You

Get To Know Griselda

Describe your family:

Most of you already know that I am a mother of 3 beautiful boys; Angel 20 yrs old, Estephan 17 yrs, and Kai 6. Michael and I have been married for 8 years and life is good…Praise the Lord!!!

How long have you been attending ACC?

My family and I have been at ACC for 11/2 yrs

What are your passions?

My passion is first God and then my family. Having the blessing to stay home with my children has been my greatest joy.

Name one way God has given you your heart's desire?

Coming from verbal abuse and feeling unloved as a little girl, I knew there was a God but I never understood His love for me until I opened up myself to Him. There on that first day I stepped into a non-denominational church in California and during worship as my eyes were closed and full of tears, I saw Jesus holding me in His arms like a father holds his child pressed upon His chest. That day He gave put a huge desire in my heart to seek Him more. I want to know more of His love and grace He has for me.

When did you become a Christian?

August - 2004

What is your favorite coffee drink?

Do not have one

What do you like to do in your free time?

Workout - kickboxing

Describe your dream vacation.

Anywhere as long as my family is with me.

What was one of the last things that made you belly laugh?

While I was in California, Michael’s step-mom and I were grocery shopping and I was pushing the cart. In the middle of the isle was a “wet floor” orange cone. I thought it was going to be heavy and I kicked it so hard that it flew fast across the isle and almost hit someone. We laughed so hard that I thought I was going to pee my pants.

Who do you admire?

If I had to choose someone, it would be my husband Michael. You all might not know this but my husband is 9 yrs younger than me and never been married before me. He took on such a huge responsibility marrying me and my two older boys. He has been such a blessing in our lives. Even though he is young he has always been such a responsible individual. I don’t think I could have taken someone else’s family as easy as he accepted mine.

Griselda ~ Thanks so much for letting us get to know you better!
