2 Quick Things
1) I wanted to make a post for those of you who missed group last Thursday. This was the first week in a long time that we had more couples gone than attended. Totally understandable, life happens. Just once small request, when you will be out for the week, please either make a post to the blog or call/text either Brandon or myself to let one of us know you will be out. It helps us to be better prepared than if we here from the grapevine the night of. Thanks so much in advance.
2) I know not everyone checks the blog regularly or ever according to some. Brandon and I need to have a way to get important announcements, prayer requests, babysitting schedules, etc. out to you all and feel that having this blog is a good and simple way to do that. With that being said, I really need a commitment from all of you that you check this blog at least twice a week. Not too hard, bookmark the blog site and open to see if there is a new post. It will take literally 2 seconds I promise. If you have any other suggestions on a better way to do announcements and such if this blog isn’t working for you please let me know. I can make a Facebook page if necessary but since I already took time to make this blog I am hoping we can just improve the commitment to checking it. Please let me know how we can improve our communication with all of you and with what will work best as it is important. Thanks a million!
Last Thursday
So last week we finished up Chapter 7, the last chapter, from the Forgotten God, by Francis Chan. Wow, not sure about all of you, but I really enjoyed this last study!
Next Study
As for the next study, we will be participating in the Church wide Small Group Bible Study coming up called Extraordinary. It is a 6 week study that will be going through the book of Acts. Basically your homework each week is 1)Go to church or listen to the service via the Pod Cast and 2) Do the daily SOAP Journals in the weekly bulletin. Brandon and I have a leaders guide that we will go over each week with discussion questions for us as a group. The first Extraordinary Sermon will start next Sunday, October, 16th. Since we meet on Thursday nights our last small group study on this is set to end on Thanksgiving Day. Since we obviously won’t have group on Thanksgiving, we will finish up on the following Thursday, December 1st. Once this next study ends, we will take off the rest of the month of December due to busy holidays schedules and will resume group on Thursday, January 12th, 2012. We are hoping to start off January 2012 with starting a study on 1 particular book in the Bible as that is what most people have stated they would like to do. So if you have any book suggestions or requests, that would be awesome. Please start thinking about it.
New Babysitting Schedule
Since we only had 3 couples at group last week we did not have anyone babysit. The kids did amazing occupying themselves while the 6 of us went through the last study. Also we are taking this week off so babysitting duties will be pushed back two weeks. Here is what the new schedule will be:
October 20th- Scott
October 27th- Williams
November 3rd- Alexander
November 10th- Altman
November 17th- Burgess
December 1st- Hauquitz
Recap
I hope I haven’t confused anyone. Basically, no group this week and we will be starting the church wide study on Thursday, October 20th, so please make it church next Sunday. If you have any questions about any part of this post, please contact Myself or Brandon and we will be happy to answer any questions. Have a great week!
