October Home Group
I am loving how our group is starting to feel like a family! I appreciated so much those that opened up and spoke during a discussion on walking by faith and trusting what you can't see, and how hard that can be!
Let's get the business out of the way! Thurs 20th Michelle and Vera in nursery, Johna coffee, Adam, Rick and Newt usher. Sunday 23rd Johna and Janae in nursery, Michelle coffee, Rick Jeff and James usher with Newt helping to close. Remember goodies to go along with coffee on these nights! Special instructions for nursery/coffee from Suzy were passed out; will also be posted in areas. All nursery workers need background checks; Newt will give wild Vera one to fill out this week! Ushers need to empty garbage at the end of services. Try to have church workers park in back or across street so front lot has open spaces. Keep an eye on both doors after services so kids don't leave without parents!
No Thanksgiving evening service. There is a Dec 25 service, but don't feel like you have to attend; family is important!
Church needs a vacuum cleaner; anyone have one to donate?
Now to exciting stuff!
To paraphrase Pastor, Khayla and Adam have the responsibility of the teens and our group has been given the opportunity to be blessed to support them in that! And boy did our group step up! A and K have some great things planned for these kids, and I won't go into details as some may be reading this! But Oct 13 is next teen night at Caves and remember to bring the things we discussed to church by then to give to Khayla! Also there is one teen girl that wants to attend conference but can't financially and we will make sure she can go! We also talked about a December activity for the teens.... caroling at the care centers, etc.
The teens will also be invited to join our home group Christmas party in December... white elephant gift exchange.... more to come.
This is really exciting... Newt told the group we need a teaching person and I think just about everyone there at the same time said "I think it should be Jeff!" and looked at him; how's that for confirmation. He will do awesome!
Had a great discussion on another really exciting, very important issue, but again it is a secret at this time!
Prayer requests:
Pastors home group with other pastors and wives
Teen conference in November
Christmas service at Liberty on 23rd at 7
Women from our church going to Women of Faith conference this weekend!
Teaching pastor
Lead vocalist/guitar for music group
Financial needs of families in our church
Vera's friend Donna, another woman Hiedi needs clear mind and true salvation
Praise God for answered prayer for Vera's other friend from last month
Pray for Michala Sarin, that nothing will stand in her way of attending teen conference
Pray for visitors last Sunday, some are already being "attacked" for coming
Talked about a fun night with our group bowling, Johna and Rick will let us know more!
Be sure to check blog weekly, PLEASE add comments, post prayer requests, praise notes, any information for our group. And remember Ralph and Randi are part of our group, encourage them to come!
