Small Group Update

Hey everyone, hope you all had wonderful Thanksgiving and a great weekend. First off, great job this past weekend Andrew! Your sermon was awesome. Second, I would like to apologize to all of you for slacking on the leadership side. With the holidays, family in town and sick family members I haven't been very focused on keeping you all updated with our plans for the remainder of the year. Brandon and I are thinking that since so many people are sick, traveling, or have a house full of guests visiting that we will not be starting a new study until the beginning of 2011. I hope this is okay with everyone. We just feel attendance will be all over the place and we will not be focused enough on the study we choose. We do however want to at least get together as a group before Christmas, so we are having our Annual Crappy Christmas Sweater Party. I would really appreciate some feedback on a day that would work for everyone. We are thinking Thursday, December 16th around 5:00pm. Would that work for the majority of you. We are also thinking to take the pressure of everyone to buy Christmas gifts for each other that we would do an ornament gift exchange at the party. So here are the details,

Everyone needs to wear really ugly Christmas Apparel, you know like those sweaters your Grandparents wear or those festive sweater vest your teachers used to wear, those ones. Also everyone needs to bring a wrapped ornament for the exchange, minimum $5 and maximum $10. Brandon and I will cook a nice big ham and everyone else can bring a yummy holiday side and anyone who wants to bake can bring a dessert and we can have an assortment of desserts. What does everyone think? Does the date work? I would appreciate if everyone could make a comment to this post giving us your input, a possible side you would like to bring, and any other ideas. Let me know by the end of the week so I can officially send out an invite.

Thanks everyone, have a greets remainder of the week!

  1. Hey Everyone! Thanks for your support for Andrew preaching!
    Abby has her preschool Christmas concert on Dec. 16th at 6 pm, so I might take her to that, Andrew and Sam can come to the small group--not finalized though.
    Hope all children are feeling better and have a great week! laura poe

  2. Hello,
    I have to work late on Thursday nights, but I never know for certain until the day before. It's possible I might be off as early as 5pm, but I may have to work as late as 7pm. Mark and Caleb can always go and I can meet them there. We can bring pumpkin bread for dessert. Talk to you soon,
    Lindsey
