Missional Retreat Schedule and Childcare Meeting

Be sure to scroll down and read the post about Ruth if you haven't already


Here is the schedule for the missional retreat via Eric Bucklin:

Schedule Overview:

Arrive on Friday night—Ice breaker games, snacks, devotional, and a late pizza run. The guys will be sleeping at the youth house and the girls are scheduled to sleep over at the youth minister’s house. Saturday morning meet together for a breakfast at the youth house and the day is filled with events, food, etc . . . For dinner that evening all the youth are scheduled to break away with their host families to get to know them and store their stuff at the individual homes. For Saturday night we will sleep in host families’ homes. After host family’s dinner/introduction/luggage storage we will get back together for we have events planned together until around 10PM. Then when finished all youth will spend the night at those homes to sleep well and prepare for Sunday morning classes and services the next day. The event will be ending after worshipping together with the entire body at Grand Central COC.


Don't forget that there is a meeting tonight from 7-7:30 downstairs in the church building for those of you who are helping with Sunday evening's childcare. Everyone else is to attend P.T. in the fellowship hall.

Deadline for Christmas Gifts for Ruth

Message from Jessie:

Just wanted to let you all know that the deadline for sending anything for Christmas to Ruth (the the little girl we sponsor in Peru) is Oct. 31. We can send bookmarks, stickers, pictures, letters, anything that won't change the shape of the envelope. They also recommend us sending an additonal $18 and they will buy gifts for her in Peru. If you have any questions on what items can be sent to her, contact Jessie.

Message from Dana:
If you think about all you will get for Christmas and the fact that all they need to buy this little girl's Christmas is $18 I'm sure it won't be that difficult for you all to come up with. Yes, that was a guilt trip. You should be used to it by now.

We love you all,

Jessie and Dana

We are studying the book "The Last Eyewitness: The Final Week" by Chris Seay. This is a fresh translation of John 13-21. You can get the book on Amazon or I can get them cheap directly from the publisher. I will provide xerox copies of the reading for those who don't have books. Before you come this time, try to have read pages 1-21.
