NewsDay Tuesday: October 5th edition

No, the “Arggghh” is not imitating anyone on staff, and no, it is not Pirate Week on Discovery.  I just plain forgot AGAIN to send out NewsDay Tuesday.  Four years straight and now I miss two weeks in a row.  I hope you have not been running aimlessly for these past two days in search of direction.  Hard to believe it is October already.  Wow!  Hopefully we can’t get some fall in the air and keep it that way.  Emily and I are moved into this new house and it’s like living in the Botanical Gardens.  Unfortunately neither of us are pros when it comes to gardening. I’ve been praying a lot for rain to ease my watering time.  It’s amazing how your prayers change in home ownership!

Everyone continue to hang in there.  Should be some good things popping up soon.

Announcements

1.  Romania Clothes Loader – Join us (and we really do need many of you) to help us load clothes that go to Romania.  This is always a fun time (and a good workout).  It only takes two hours if we have enough people.  It is 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 14th at the Storage Center across from the Palisades shopping center on Oxmoor in Homewood.  The mission trips we lead to Romania each year enable us to see all the clothes in action.  That’s right as you walk the streets of Iasi you may notice and Roll Tide or Bo Jackson shirt worn by many a local.  Its pretty hilarious if you ask me.  I’m looking to supply 15 Longhorn shirts to balance the collegiate representation.

2.  Covenant Ski Trip!!!!! – We only have 30 places, so it will fill fast considering we have 12 already signed up.  Park City, Utah on March 19-24th.  We’ll be staying right on Main Street in the village there in Park City.  Cost will be ~ $1300/person covering everything.  Deposits are due Oct. 15th.  We’ve got a great group going so far from across the church.  

3.  Fire & Reign  — I hope everyone is keeping up with the weekly devotionals.  I’m enjoying the study on Acts this fall.

4.  Flag Football game! – Oak Mountain has challenged us for a flag football game coming up.  It is set for Sunday night, October 22nd at 7 p.m.  Yes, that is late, but since they did the challenging and have the field we’re subject to their timing.  It should not matter, night or day, sunshine or rain.  We WILL be Victorious!  Vance Waldron is setting it all up.  Please let us know if you plan to show off your skills.
