Happy Thanksgiving....Coming Events....

So it has been a LONG time since I have posted. Hope you guys had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Go Titans!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you all did as well!

Coming up this Sunday is our Hanging of the Green Service. You won't want to miss this beauitful service that will begin this Advent/Christmas Season!

On Wednesday night, Dec. 3, we have a guest speaker coming to talk about his mission work. Then on Wednesday night, Dec. 10, we will begin our study in 1 Peter. Books are still available to purchase for $5, but you do not have to have a book to join in the study and the discussion.

What is going on....

We have a lot of things going on this month. We had a lock-in on Friday, Oct. 17, Daniel and I were all geared up to play Rock Band, sorry that it conflicted with so many people's schedules, but Daniel and I started our own band and we Rocked the night away (at home, we decided not to stay at church all night :) ).

This weekend is the hayride at the Fox's house...it will be a great time of fun and fellowship and if any of you can help entertain the kids that would be GREAT!

On, Friday, October 31 we have our Costume Coffee House. Daniel already has his costume....I have yet to find one! There will be a competition for "best all around", "most creative", and "best look alike" costume, prizes will be awarded so make sure to dress your best! Please make sure to come and invite your friends. As I said before this will be a relaxing, non-threating setting and a great way to get your friends up to the church and see what it is like. We should have plenty of food, coffee, hot chocolate and fun!

Coming up in November is our big event for the fall Disciple Now Weekend! We need you to sign-up to let us know you are attending by November 2, with $15, this will help cover meals, t-shirt, bible study materials, etc.

Wednesday night Bible Study...Daniel has been teaching from the book of Obadiah. Come find out how this Old Testament book is relevant to YOU in 2008!

Costume Coffee House - Help Needed!

Okay I need your help. Daniel has passed around a sign-up sheet asking for help and no one signed it! Date: Friday, October 31 Time: 6pm-10pm Don't forget to start thinking of a costume....there will be a costume contest....more details on that to come.... We hope to make this a fun night for you and your friends but we could use a little help! Here are some things you can do....

• Help with decorating
• Help with food planning and preparing
• Help with music
• Help with planning activities
• Help with advertising
• Help gathering card tables (we need several card tables so if you have one or you know someone with one please let us know if we can borrow your tables)
• Of course we could use all of you to help clean up afterwards!

God has gifted all of you in different areas so think about what your gifts are and choose an area to help in where you feel you are most gifted. This is a great outreach opportunity for your friends in school, where you work, your neighbors, roommates, etc. So please invite your friends and please pitch in and help make this a fun, successful event!
