News and Notes
Hey Everyone,
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Just thought send an update on a few items.
1. This Saturday from 8:30 to 12:00 is the annual leadership meeting. This is primarily for the officers, but anyone is welcome if you'd like to attend. If you are an officer but won't be attending, let me know so I can pick up any information that will be provided.
2. Bible Study registrations are currently going on. There is a nice variety of courses being offered this year, so check it out. I believe this Sunday is the last week for sign-ups.
3. The church wide bake-off is September 15th. We need to make a final decision on our participation. We can decide on Sunday, but be thinking if you'd like to throw your baked goods in the ring...
4. Paid in Full - The campaign is kicking off in September. We'll be having SS lessons starting on September 6th (Heritage lesson). Virginia has videos that will be shown in service throughout September as well. This should a great learning experience for all of us, and through the campaign efforts you will be able to make an informed decision on your pledge.
5. Paid in Full Prayer Walk - There will be a prayer walk starting in the Chapel this coming Saturday @ 8:00am prior to the leadership meeting. If you can't attend please keep the church and this campaign in your thoughts and prayers.
Have a great week and I hope to see you this weekend.
Michael

All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest--never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership. ~ Ann Landers

Joys & Concerns 8/9
Hello All,
We got a lot accomplished in class today with the selection of Michael as our new class president and the initial formation of the committees. A special thank you to Michael for all his time and effort over the past few weeks with our class improvement project. Next week we will pick back up with the marriage study chapter 3 Planning for Peace. The chapter centers around conflict resolution and how couples deal with anger in their relationships. Talking about fighting always proves for an interesting discussion. Guys vs. Girls come ready! :)
Joys & Concerns:
A wonderful joy this week, Amy & Phil are expecting their first child next march. Congratulations!
A special joy for the Glover family, Nicholas will be baptized next Sunday. He will be officially welcomed into the Custer Road church family at the 11am service.
Lesley and Chad are in the home stretch and counting down the days until their baby girl arrives. Lesley's due date is August 16th but if the little bundle of sweetness hasn't arrived by then she will be induced on August 18th.
Good news for Jason Lincoln, his colonoscopy went well. The test results were better than expected.
The Allisons will traveling to a family reunion this next week. Have a good and safe trip.
We do have a concern this week. At her work Baylor Plano Karla knows of surgeon who died of a heartattack while on vacation with his family. Please keep this family in your prayers as they deal with their loss.
