Lane did a great job this morning of leading the class discussion for his first time. We have finished our Lent study and there is no class next Sunday. On Sunday April 11th John Richardson will be coming to class to talk with us on the topic of the Holy Spirit. Sunday the 11th is also 100% attendance Sunday for the Sunday school classes so we hope to see everyone out that morning. Following class on the 11th we will be heading out to Mooyah in Allen for second Sunday lunch. There will be great burgers and a good opportunity for fellowship with your class friends.

Guy's Night Out

Hi guys. We are set for some March Madness watching this friday at my house. Games start a 6 but I am planning on "tivo-ing" the games so we probably won't start watching them until around 7, so that people don't have to rush from work. With the fast forwarding thru commercials and halftimes, we should catch up to live pretty quick. Just don' t telling anyone the scores if we haven't caught up yet!

I'll have some buffalo wings and pizzas ready to go, so if you think you might stop by,let me know so I know how much to order. If you want to bring anything, the standard chips dips, snack, ect. I have a grand total of 2 beers in my fridge, so bring 'em if you got em'

If somebody wants to bring some guitar hero, I can set that up along side the game if we want.



Hope to see you soon,
Wayne

Sorry that we weren't in class yesterday. There's one more Joy/Concern that I wanted to pass along. My friends, Khoa and Kay, had their baby on Saturday. The doctors had to perform a C-section, and the baby was born at 26 weeks. The baby's name is Elizabeth Nguyen. She was 1 lb., 11 oz. and 13.5 inches long at birth.

Thanks, and have a great week.
Phil
