Harvest of Hope Holiday Baskets

If you are interested in getting involved, there are many opportunities to help out.  Please read the needs and timeline below!


Saturday, December 19 - We will be picking up the remaining food items from Super 1 Foods on Airline Drive at 10:30am Saturday morning.  We need 2 or 3 pickup trucks (and drivers!) to help get everything back to the church.  We will also need help unloading the food, setting up the holiday basket assembly line in the FLC, and setting up tables and chairs in preparation for Sunday.

Sunday, December 20 -  Harvest of Hope will be hosting an Airline Holiday Potluck in the FLC immediately after services.  We hope the entire congregation will join us for food, fun and fellowship while we all put the holiday baskets together.  PLEASE bring your favorite holiday casserole or food item to share!  You can drop it off in the FLC kitchen and Holly will oversee the reheating and set up of food items.

Tuesday, December 22 -  The Big Day!  We will be delivering the food baskets to Meadowview Elementary for families to pick up.  We will again need pickup trucks or a trailer to take the baskets to the school, and also help loading them.  Additionally, we need volunteers to deliver some baskets to the shut-ins from our congregation.  This would be a great opportunity for your family or small group to brighten someone's day!  We will be meeting at the church building at 7am to begin loading up.  The plan is to unload the baskets in the Meadowview Elementary gym by 8am.  We will then hand out the baskets from 8am – Noon on Tues.

Winterfest info

Winterfest is going to be here before you know it!

This year, sign-ups for Winterfest are ONLY online.  If this is a problem, let me know.  I will also try to have a laptop in the classroom so you can still sign up at church if need be.

The sign-up page can be found here.  The schedule while we are there is on that page too.  You'll see some of the speakers and entertainment for the weekend on that schedule.

Winterfest is $70.  Payment is due on the 30th of December.  That's a Wednesday.  Of course, you can get the money to me before then (that would be awesome)!  If this is a problem let me know (as always)!  I want everyone to be able to go and money should not be an issue!

There are a limited number of spots so don't waste any time!

Also, 2 service credits are required to go to Winterfest.  If anyone is in danger of not being able to go, talk to me!

Want to pay online?  Click here.

Weekly Updates

• Originally, there was a Goal-writing Meeting scheduled for this Sunday (Nov. 22nd).  This meeting was intended to finish the goal-writing process that was started a while back.  This meeting has been postponed until a later date.  With the holidays around the corner, it will be hard to get everybody there.  Therefore, it looks like this meeting will be in January at the earliest. 

• There will be no Sunday night class November 29th!

• The Red River Rake is Dec 6th.  Students will bring a change of clothes to church that day.  We'll eat lunch together and then we'll get to raking!  We need drivers this day!  The church van is not in good working condition so that will not be option.  This means we need extra help driving!  The area-wide at University CoC will follow the Rake and it will start at 530PM.  

• The next Bossier Kids Day Out is Saturday, Dec. 12th!  We need everyone's help!

• I am in the process of planning a Christmas Party.  The original date I had planned doesn't appear that it will work.  I am now looking at the 12th.  Hopefully, we can work it in!

Fall Retreat in review

You can text your favorite memory from Sky Ranch to 87884.  Include @wif12160 at the beginning of your message.



Sky Ranch was a blast!  We couldn't have asked for better weather!  Jerry and Dustin shared some awesome stories with us.  Our time around the bonfire was uplifting.  Capture the Flag lasted way too long!  The zipline was exciting.  And everyone was extra NICE!  If you missed it, don't let it happen again!

Service Credits

Remember!

I announced last night that
Service credits are required now for events and trips.  The first trip requiring service credits is Winterfest, January 15-17!  (You can sign-up here!)  2 Service Credits are required to attend.

This weekend is the Fall Festival.  Saturday, Nov. 7th, 1-4PM.
This will count as a Service Credit if you come help.

The Red River Rake (Dec. 6th) also counts as a credit.
AND
Bossier Kids Day Out (Dec. 12th) counts as a credit.

Yes, that's THREE opportunities to get 2 service credits.  The odds are in your favor!

Let me know if you have any questions!

not sure what happened to Minden--maybe next time.


Don't forget!  Money is due Wednesday for Discover '09.  


That's so wrong!
That's the ongoing theme for the area-wides this Fall.
People do things that make us (want to) say "that's so wrong!"
Unfortunately, we can be the ones doing these things sometimes.  We have to avoid falling into the trap of thinking we're exempt from doing things that are "so wrong."  (Is that sentence weird?  I keep re-reading it but I can't figure it out.)

"Greater Things"

"Greater Things Have Yet To Come" is the theme for Discover '09

It's taking place Oct 16-18.  We will be there for the festivities on Oct 17.  It is sponsored by the Forsythe Avenue Church of Christ in Monroe, LA.  Therefore, we'll simply leave Saturday morning and come back Saturday night.  That way we do not have overnight expenses and athletes and band members can get some rest Friday night after their games.

Cost is $20 if you have your money turned in by Wednesday, Sep 23.  Make checks payable to "Discover Youth Rally."

I've heard great things about this conference and apparently it gets better every year.
