Funny Video and Several Things to Note!!

Several things to remember for this week...

1) We will be baking cakes, pies, brownies, and cupcakes at 5:45pm on Wednesday for the Faithworks Thanksgiving dinner this Saturday for the Shidler kids. You can also bring one of those things if you don't want to bake by noon on Friday.

2) Also, we will be taking up a Christmas offering on Sunday for our Compassion kid Sarai for her Christmas present for this year so bring a few bucks if you want to help out!

3) The big thing to remember for next Sunday is the schedule Change! We will be starting Journey right at 5:00pm and going until 6:00pm because we have the church Thanksgiving dinner at 6pm so we'll all hang out afterwards and pig out.

-- During Journey we will have Tim Ulrich here from the Refuge talking about possible plans for our Spring Break 2010 mission project so you don't want to miss that!!

4) Lastly, for all our girls we are going to be going to the Revolve Tour December 11th - 12th in Norman!! We will be watching the promo video Sunday night and filling you in!
