"Camping"

We loaded up the pickup truck, packed our bags, and headed to the mountains with the popup in tow. Pulled in to the campground and setup camp...two days of junk food, xbox, movies, cards and risk. That's right - Garren and I "roughed it" for two days last week. We did nothing productive for two days. Unless you count Daddy-son time as productive - which I do. We had a great time. He beat me at NCAA football on the Xbox. I beat him at risk. We had a great time together.

When's the last time you had some good old fashioned quality time with one of your kids?

Southbrook:Monroe Campus Update 11.19.08

Prayer Time - Join us Thursday evening at 7pm for a time of prayer. We'll meet at the Monroe building. We'll spend some time praying for the building, finances, and God's will and direction for Southbrook:Monroe. Will you be there?

Got Turkey? - Our Thanksgiving outreach to the Monroe community is in full swing. We are distributing the meal boxes this Sunday at Benton Heights from 4-6pm. If you can be there to help we'd love to have you there.

We also need some help getting turkeys. If you can make a donation to help purchase turkeys, let me know ASAP - we've got a lot of turkeys to purchase before this weekend!

Construction Work - We'll be painting at the new building this Saturday. Bring your paint supplies and some clothes you can get messy in. Again, we need all the help we can get! We've got a Christmas Eve service to plan!

Monroe Christmas Parade - 2pm on Sunday. I know several who will be going to the parade on Sunday. We will have Christmas Eve invite fliers to pass out. Pick some up on Sunday and feel free to pass them out at the parade, or in your neighborhood for that matter.

I am so pumped to be heading up our ministry in Monroe. I hope you are as well. We are moving as quickly as we can to get into our building by Christmas Eve. Please remember to pray about this. Also, consider how you and your family will contribute to the Christmas offering on Dec 7. The collection will help fund the construction in the Monroe building.

See you Sunday!
