Start getting ready and be sure to mark your calendars!Internet Cafe Devotions will be celebrating the holidays this year with lots of great things for you to participate in! There will be six weeks of celebrating going on and it will happen on Thursdays.
We will start on Thursday, November 20 with Holiday Traditions & Ideas. You'll be able to post on your very own blog all about your family's traditions and maybe even give us some ideas on new traditions for our families.
On Thursday, November 27, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving by participating in a Day of Gratitude. Tell us what you are thankful for and how you plan to spend the day.
Then on Thursday, December 4, we will be hosting the Café Holiday Expo. Let's get into the spirit of giving by holding contests for gifts. This will be a large giveaway and it will be run very similar to a carnival since you will put the item you are giving away on your blog, have people enter the contest there and then link back here via Mr. Linky. You can give away something new, something you created, something you review, it doesn't matter. Just make sure it is completely free to the winner and that includes shipping. There will be guidelines explained closer to the date of the Expo.
The following Thursday, December 11 will be a Tour of Homes. You can take pictures or video of your home, inside or outside, in all of it's decorated glory, and post them on your blog and then link back here via Mr. Linky.
Yum! Thursday, December 18, will be a Holiday Recipe Bazaar. Share your favorite recipes with us and posts with videos and pictures are most certainly at the top of the list of what we want to see!
Thursday, December 25, will be our Celebration of Christ's Birth. Simply put into thoughts your perspective of this day and then link back here through Mr. Linky.

The purpose of The Internet Café is to unite women of faith, regardless of our stage in life, our roles as women, our hair color, our political party, or the church we attend. We believe that one of the best ways to do this is to encourage each other in faith, by our spoken and written words accompanied by a short study each day to challenge and motivate you.
Most of our devotions are written by regular monthly contributors but we do accept submissions...

Our mandate is given in Exodus 18:20. God wants us to teach our children His principles, His thoughts on family, His plan for our future. Those are His mandates that must be taught at home.
