Remember

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday. Lots of things happening this week: Camp Baldwin, the group gone to Buffalo, NY, and registration at most of the schools; I'm tired just thinking about it. Whew...
I don't have anything new to share this morning. I really just want to remind you of a few things.

1. Remember to bring your School Supplies by the church for us to donate to the Jefferson County Board of Education. You can drop them off at the church office or the CFLC. You have until next Tuesday, August 3rd. See the list in last week's blog entry.
2. Remember to make plans to attend the retreat August 20 & 21 and bring a friend. Sweet Life Cafe is going to be wonderful. It is a retreat where you will get to know others, you will have fun, you will have a quiet time with your Father, you will sing, you will make things and taste things. Please spread the word about this and please REGISTER!! I need to have a firm number of attendees by August 15th. One way to register is to make a comment below the blog entry (don't forget to put your first and last name for me). I have lots of supplies to purchase and I want to make sure I have enough for everyone. Thanks
3. Remember to sign up for Fall Discipleship Training. Debbie Jones has agreed to lead our Discipleship Training Bible Study in the fall. It is a Priscilla Shirer study called "One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land." All Discipleship Training classes will begin on September 19th. Plan to join us!

"Therefore, my dear brothers [sisters], stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." I Corinthians 15:58 NIV

Have a great week and I'll see you Sunday!

Mission Project - Back to School Supplies

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you are off to a good start today.
I hope you have heard about the latest mission project the Women's Ministry has put together. We are collecting school supplies to donate to the Jefferson County Board of Education. All year long they have families stop by the Central Office asking for help with getting their child(ren) the supplies they need to have a successful year at school. So between now and August 3rd, stop by Walmart, Staples, Walgreens, etc. and pick up some supplies from the list below and drop them off at the church at either the CFLC or the church office. Every little bit helps. If you have any questions, let me know. I appreciate all that you do to help!
Here is the list that JefCoEd gave me:
*filler paper (wide and college ruled)
*clear backpacks
*handheld pencil sharpeners
*composition notebooks (black marble cover)
*ink pens (black and blue)
*pencils
*colored pencils
*markers
*3x5 index cards
*pencil pouch
*3 ring binders (1" and 1-1/2")
*compass

One more item: Sweet Life Cafe'!!!
I cannot tell you how excited I am about our retreat on August 20 & 21! Please don't miss this. Tell all your friends about it. We need everyone to start registering for it now. My goal is to have 60 signed up by August 13th. Registration fee is $12 - you can give it to me anytime.
Love ya! See you Sunday - if not before.

Ah, yes, another Monday. Grateful for another day in His beautiful creation but, I'll be honest, I'm already counting the days till the weekend.
Okay, get your calendars out! First, look at next Monday, July 19th... I'll wait till you find it. Okay, if you are available at 6:00pm plan to meet me and others at Chuy's at The Summit. This is just a casual night out with the sistas (girlfriends). Spread the word!! Chuy's is the new Mexican restaurant at The Summit that just opened to the public less than a week ago. I have already tried it - it is FABULOUS!!! My husband describes it as a Rainforest Cafe gone Mexican. Or as I describe it, a Mexican restaurant on steroids. It will be lots of fun so tell all your girlfriends and be there! If you are familiar with The Summit, it is on the upper side of The Summit between Flip Burger and Charming Charlie. Turn left at the second traffic light and turn left at the top of the hill and go as far as you can. The restaurant is in the left corner overlooking the bottom of The Summit. The view is wonderful. If you can join us, post a comment and let me know you will be there.
Now, the next date, flip your calendar to August 20 & 21. I'll wait... okay. You have got to make plans to attend our Women's Ministry Retreat held at the church in the Student Bldg. It will be called Sweet Life Cafe. The schedule will be Friday night from 7pm-9pm and Saturday 8am-noon. The cost will be $12. I am so excited about this retreat!! Don't miss this opportunity to grow individually and as a Women's Ministry. If you have any questions, let me know.
Okay, you can put your calendars up now and I hope to see you Sunday and next Monday night at Chuy's!! Love you all!!
