Hello everyone, Hello weekend - I will not be in class this Sunday (4/20) so I just wanted to remind everyone that NEXT Sunday (4/27) we will be having a class brunch. Please sign up in the comments for what you would like to bring. Also, that Sunday is Bring a Friend Sunday and I welcome everyone to invite a friend(s) to church and/or visit Sunday School that morning (they are also hosting visitor receptions following all 3 services in room 130 for you and guests).
Everyone have a great weekend and see you all next Sunday!

Announcement update, etc
Hello Everyone - just a quick update from last Sunday's SS announcements.....
- I received some additional information on the new bus greeter recruitment that is currently going on:
Hospitality In Action ~ Become a Bus Greeter Rev. Dickson and his staff are asking your classes to consider being greeters on our Sunday morning buses. There will be 2 shifts: 9:20 to 9:50 and 10:35 to 11:05. We would like three people to volunteer to greet people getting onto buses, ride the bus with them and answer anyone's questions, help them off the bus, ride the bus back, and start over again. We run three buses, so one person per bus. It would be great if your class would take one shift for one month. Please consider giving it a try.
Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering and I would be more than happy to coordinate a month for us. Also, they have set up a volunteer recrutiment table located under the new member picture board near the sanctuary where they are currently recruiting members to be door greeters, Welcome Center volunteers, parking lot greeters, or bus greeters.
- Spread the Word T-shirts will be available again this week in Fellowship Hall for anyone who did not get one last Sunday - they are FREE and all you have to do is commit to wearing it once a week for one month into the community. The Spread the Word store will be in FH the next 2 Sundays selling Custer Road merchandise - you have until April 28 to place orders for delivery sometime in May (try to check it out if you can - they have some pretty neat stuff for sale).
- Bring a Friend Sunday is April 27th w/ receptions following all 3 services in room 130 (more information to come).
Everyone have a great week!

Weekly Update
Greetings - hope eveyone is having a great week and gearing up for the Super Bowl Party this Sunday! Looks like there is some pretty tasty food that has already been posted - I can't wait. Just wanted to pass along the following:
- Mark you calendars for Sunday, 2/17 as we are blessed to have Rev. Diana Holbert, Associate Minister - Education and Spiritual Formation visiting TwoBecomeOne sometime during the last 15 minutes of class that day. Dr. Holbert is our newest associate minister as she joined the CRUMC church family on June 15 of last year. We look forward to her visit!
- "Lead the Vision" Church-Wide Leadership Conference this Saturday, Feb. 2 (7:45am - 12:30 pm, Upper Room). All members of the church are invited to this Leadership Training to learn what church committees do, how a program comes to life and policies that govern ministries. A wonderful opportunity for anyone interested to come and hear more about all the Lay Leadership Committees. Questions? E-mail vision@crumc.org
- If you would like to sign up to receive the CRUMC weekly e-mail newsletter titled E-Connections then navigate to the Links section on top right of this page, click on Custer Road United Methodist Church (which will open up to the CRUMC home page), then click on Sign Up for E-Connections and provide you email address. The newsletter is e-mailed every Thursday and gives a snapshot of upcoming events, news, etc in a quick and easy read format.
This upcoming Sunday we continue our study of the book of Daniel (chapters 3 & 6). Have a great remainder of the week and looking forward to seeing everyone this Sunday!

October update
Howdy!
Yes I'm still willing to use my Aggie greeting in spite of having the worst football team I can remember in 10 years of being an Aggie. But hey, it's almost basketball season.
I am going to try to start using this forum to communicate what is going on for those that haven't been able to be in class. The last few weeks we've been a little light in class - maybe the stewardship campaign is scaring everyone off. There is only two more weeks of that but I would encourage you to make it. I've sat through my fair share of stewardship campaigns and this one is really one of the better ones I remember. It's not really about numbers at all but more about our focus and we've had some really great discussions in class to go along with it.
I opened the study two weeks ago with a lesson about giving and some examples of people who give in unusual situations. Wayne followed it up this Sunday with a lesson on why we give and some of the preconceived notions that make us hesitant to give.
On another note it is official, Two Become One has their own bank account at Legacy Bank under CRUMC - Two Become One. It is tied with the church account but will allow us to accept and write checks.
To go along with that we are going to start looking at the class mission projects we discussed. I've asked a few of our previous mission chairs to look at possible options but if you have suggestions please let us know. My goal is to decide on something on Nov. 18th for both this year and set a goal for a project we can "adopt" for next year.
A couple quick reminders:
- Sunday October 28th Sunday School is at 9 and we will be doing a game the church is providing and then there will be a single service in the parking lot across from the church in a tent for everyone. That will be at 10. Don't miss it.
- The boxes of food and items from Walmart for our October mission are due I believe this Sunday so you can bring them up to the church and drop them off at the office or bring them to class and we will get them to the office. We committed to 10 boxes I believe but there is certainly not a limit. I think we are at 3 or 4 right now. Just make sure to tell Martha if you drop one off so we hit our commitment or better yet exceed it.
- Dinners for Six - if you haven't had the opportunity try to get this scheduled for before Thanksgiving. If everyone likes this maybe we can start doing it once a quarter.
- Christmas party - We need to start working on this as we talked about shooting for Saturday Dec. 1st before everyone starts traveling and has work parties and stuff. Earlier will make it a little easier for us to find a place without putting a limit of 30 or 40 people.
I'm sure I forgot some things so remember you can comment on the posts in the blog and it will provide a good record of things. I hope everyone likes the new site. If you have any suggestions please pass them along.
Have a great week and hope to see everyone Sunday.
