Missions_Celebration

Hi everyone. I hope everyone is having a great week so far. Thank you for all your prayers for Brent. He had an x-ray done yesterday and he is back in therapy. We haven't gotten the results back yet, but we had to have this done and re-do therapy for the insurance to pay for an mri. The pain had subsided a little yesterday and he was able to go to work for a little bit. I told Brent Sunday morning missing church was awful and it was the first time in forever that all of us missed! It felt so weird! Here are just a few announcements:
Children's Mission Forum - Kindergarten and up
-Saturday, November 13 from 11-2
-You need to sign up your children by Wednesday, November 10th
-Lunch will be provided (Pizza)
-The children will have small group time with each of the missionaries, they will get a passport, and learn interesting facts about the different countries and missionaries. Our kids have always participated in this and really enjoyed it. I would encourage you to sign up your age-appropriate child!
Life Group Missions Dinner
-Saturday, November 13 from 6-8
-Art and Wendi Knight's home
-Childcare available under 5 from 5:30-8:30 (you will need to sign up your child and take a sack lunch)
-We will be having soup, salad, and dessert
-There is still a need for 1 more soup, salad, and dessert. If you haven't signed up for anything please respond to this email. There will be another sign up sheet passed around this Sunday at the Stock the Nursery shower.
If you have signed up for an item and aren't able to come, please make every effort to get it to Brent before the dinner.
-I would encourage each and every one of you to make an attempt to come. This is one of the best social's we have as a LifeGroup. And you will absolutely love who we are hosting! We are going back in partnership with Grace and Gideon Makuthi of Salama, Kenya. You will be blessed so please clear your calendars and plan on coming! Also, we are taking Eli and Emma, so please bring your school age children. Or if you want a date night with your spouse get a babysitter for them!
Thanks for all your prayers and SEE YOU SUNDAY!!
Love,
Allyson

Hello everyone. Can you all believe that IT IS ALREADY NOVEMBER?!?!?!!? Christmas will be here before we know it! I know, I know, Leslie & I do not have kids; so all of the mothers out there are saying, "SHUT UP! We have not even started our shopping!!!" Ha, ha. Well, if we have been listening to Pastor Phil, then .... (okay, I don't want to get myself into any trouble this week, so I'll shut up & post the blog)

Here is this week's LGNS 10/31/10.

Have a good week everyone.

Good Monday morning to everyone! Yesterday's Life Group turnout was FANTASTIC!!!!! It was great to see everyone there. We are having great lessons & discussions as we continue to go through the Radical book. Let's keep this up. Here is this week's LGNS 9/19/10. Everyone have a good week.

LGNS 9/12/10

Hi everyone. Here's the link to this week's post, LGNS 9/12/10. Good job Lisa. We had a great class yesterday as we started our new "Radical" study. Hope to see those who were missing back next week.

Here's a link to another great document that Lisa sent out to everyone, entitled "The Crosswalk." (sorry, the pictures that were in the original doc aren't in this one).

Have a great week.

New Radical Study

Good Morning everyone I hope that everyone is off to a great start to this short week. Sunday I handed out David Platt's book Radical for our new study that will start this Sunday Sept. 12th! I'm so excited this will be the first time I have ever taught through a book study and I know that it will be a beneficial series for all of us. So please make every effort to be in LifeGroup. With this past Sunday being an holiday weekend there were many of you that did not have the opportunity to be in LifeGroup and seeing that I handed out the books, you do not have one. So... I will make it very easy for you I have all the books and they are $8 (if you don't have the money now thats ok bring it when you do) and if you will call, text, or email me I will meet you and give one to you. If your going to be at church tomorrow night let me know and we can set up a meeting place.

Everyone needs to read Chapter one "Someone Worth Losing Everything For" page 1 - 21. This is an easy read so everyone should be able to find the time to read these pages.
