Welcome Back to our blog!

THIS WEEK
This week we discussed the 1st lesson of the "Experiencing God" church wide bible study.

We also discussed that they are looking for a larger room for the group to meet in and that until then, we should try to fill in all the chairs starting in the back of the room first leaving as many open chairs as possible by the doors so people feel more welcome to come in.

PRAYER REQUESTS
~ Medical Missions trip to Haiti for Kari coming up in a month
~ Dominican Republic missions team
~ Jared & Angie Klock and their daughter Anna (2) who has cancer
~ Blake's sister who is currently being treated for breast cancer
~ Amber's brother and the tough things he has been going through this last summer
~ Our clothing exchange service project and each person's roll in that
~ Perhaps a larger room for our group to meet

SERVICE PROJECTS
We discussed having a Children's clothing exchange and Amber laid out the different teams that we would need volunteers for. We will be passing the sign-up sheet around again during class next week. Please pray about where God is asking you to serve in this ministry.
1. Event Team - people who are there for the actual event, bagging clothes and receiving donations, etc.
2. Promotion Team - Communicating event details and such to the community and other churches.
3. Set up/Tear Down Team - transporting clothes there and organizing them
4. Collection Team - finding totes to collect the initial donations, possibly washing some clothes, etc.
5. Prayer Team

NEXT WEEK
We will be discussing Session 2 "Looking to God" of the Experiencing God Study.

Verse to Memorize:
"Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."
~Psalm 20:7

Praying that each of us will look for God in every situation and serve Him one day at a time!

Have a great week!
