Hello and Merry Christmas!!!
(an obvious hint to my costume tomorrow night),
We will be meeting at the Backdoor tomorrow night before trick or trunk. Please come and prepare your trunk for the kids. I hope you can invite several to attend! I’m looking forward to celebrate the new season with all of you.
This Friday Night – 5th quarter Costume Night!
We will be having 5th quarter at the Backdoor this Friday Night. Because we cancelled last weeks 5th quarter we will be inviting 6-12 graders for this event. It will be on Halloween night following the High School football games.
Denise will be preparing a special meal for all of us. We were hoping we could get some help decorating and someone to help us with bobbing for Apples. If you can help with decorations, bobbing for Apples, or cooking please see Denise.
Mini-Retreat at Barnard’s November 3-4 – “Why So Joyful?“
Also, since the kids will be out of school Tuesday, we will be having a mini-retreat at our House this Monday beginning at 4:00 p.m. and ending at noon on Tuesday for 7-12 grade. Please bring Bibles, sleeping bags, $10 for meals, drinks, and snacks, and fishing pole.
Service Efforts – Gifts for Sunnybrook Children and Food Baskets
It is a wonderful privilege to serve our community and congregation throughout the year. This event is a volunteer joy-giving effort that is very appreciated by children who are without nurturing families. We will be doing this as well as delivering food baskets to some needy families in our commuity. Stay tuned for more information on specific dates and times.
Christmas Party Wednesday Night December 10th at the Backdoor - Mark this on your calendar! Your Preaching Minister and Family Minister will be giving away some fantastic gifts this year! (Remember last years gifts) Everyone please bring a generic gift! Parents I could use some help with food and decorations!
December 11th Winter Wonder Slam Tour with Toby MAc and Relient K
Are you concerned about the music your kids enjoy? Please let us help you with this event! This would be a wonderful Christmas present for your child. This is one of the neatest and enjoyable Christian concerts your child could ever be around.(That is why I agreed to have it on a school night) Most teachers would work with students on making sure they can work on their assignments for the night ahead of time. I will also be glad to write a note. I wished they would have had it on a weekend!
They will love the music and lyrics, and I know you will love the lyrics they are singing to your child. I have purchased 25 tickets to this concert. They are $40 a piece. Compared to a secular concert this is cheap! Yet, this concert will have all the quality that worldly concerts use to pull kids into their type of music. We have people who are willing to offer jobs for our students to pay for their tickets. I wanted to let everyone know now so that they might save-up any extra pennies. This is the type of music that connects with our kids! The message is amazing! We plan on leaving at 3:30p.m. from the building on Thursday Dec 11 and returning at 10:45p.m.
Kids are entertained by so many things that are harmful to their development. This is something that I believe will be very helpful! Also, if you want to buy a 25-35 passenger church bus to help us attend events like this, I would be very appreciative. 
http://www.carpenterbus.com/inventory.php If you can’t buy one, would you please pray for one. It would help us tremendously.
I hope you and your family can be apart of all the events we are planning! Don’t forget our Sunday Morning young/middle-aged adult class that will be taught by a variety of teachers. (Sol Graves, Gary Stanley, Chuck McIntosh, and Jason Barnard) We will be covering Philippians 3 this Sunday Morning!
Okay I’m done preaching and begging! For Now!
Your Brother,
Jason
