Friday's Five Minute Frenzy

RiverRock · 01-16-2009, 09:08 AM

If anyone saw my list yesterday it included phoning our CareGroup/Bible Study members and inviting a couple new families to join. Our group has had sproradic attendance this year, mainly due to childcare needs. So me, being the attached mama I am thought we should include the kids at tonight's meeting. So far, including kids, we have had 26 people confirm they are coming. Needless to say, I need to get my house in order! Anyone out there with me on a 5-minute challenge?

If you haven't done this before, set your timer and work for at least 5 minutes. Come back and share what you did, then when this thread comes up in you New Replies box you will be motivated to go work for another 5 minutes. In the process you will be motivating others to love their homes, too!
