Volunteer Opportunity - Maundy Thursday Service

Hello everyone -

A request from Kyla Prestwood, Adult SS Coordinator: Kyla is looking for an adult SS class to volunteer 5-6 members to help usher the Maundy Thursday Service at 7:30pm on March 20th. The service is scheduled to last one hour. I think this would be a great opportunity for us during the Lenten season. Please reply or e-mail me at dnaser[at]tx[dot]rr[dot]com if you are interested in volunteering and if we are able to confirm enough volunteers I will let Kyla know.

Thanks!

Reminder: Rev. Diana Holbert this Sunday, 2/17

Hello everyone - just wanted to send a quick reminder about this upcoming 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!

Have a great remainder of the week - see you Sunday as we continue our Lent study!

Joys and Concerns

Praise God that 2 more visitors, Steve & Cheryl, came to our class today! Please keep them in your prayers this week.
Sara & Jerod- Have an aunt in the emergency room, who has not been doing well.
Virginia- Her friend's mother is back in Odessa, in rehab, & is much improved! The friend's grandfather, however, passed away on Wednesday.
Chris- Their cat, Ellie, has a liver problem & they are unsure what to do next.
Dan- His brother Rich is expecting a first child- the mom is 5 weeks along!
Ashlea- Her friend Kristen is marrying a Disciples of Christ minister, Chris- however, his church is being closed so he'll need to find somewhere else to go.
Please also pray for the Lenten meditations that will be held each Wednesday night at 6:30- the sermons will be given by some of our church's candidates for ministry- and I will give mine on March 5! =)
Have a wonderful week- you are loved!
In <><,

Party Follow Up

Hey Guys,

It was really nice having everyone over to watch the game. I hope it wasn't too crowded or noisy with the all the rugrats running around. Thank you to all for bringing the good calorie loaded food. Special thanks to Sherrye & Dan for providing the hot dogs, deli tray, and all those fixings. A few dishes and such were left at our house I will bring them to class on Sunday. Have a great week.

Joys and Concerns

Friends,
Remember to keep your hearts and minds open to the season of Lent this week. Can you believe Ash Wednesday is almost here? To me, Lent is a reminder of the 'big picture'- and our promise from God of new life in Christ. What better reason to pause & praise God!!!

Here are your joys & concerns:
Michelle: Her nephew Dylan is having surgery on Tuesday
Jason: Their family friend's little girl Taylor's knee pain was a torn miniscus, not anything more serious. Their dog, Sohpie, is having hernia surgery.
Dan: Sister's move to Atlanta went well. His mom is leaving on Tuesday.
Mike: Found out that they are having a boy!!!!! (due late June/ early July)
Sara: Jarod's sister, Janae, is pregnant & will discover the sex at the next appointment!

Have a wonderful week- You are a blessing!!
Love in <><,
Suzanne

Mission Projects 2008

I have the first two mission projects on the books for 2008. As I mentioned in class we will be working with the new young adult ministries for a couple mission projects this year. Probably only these two we will do with the group as they try to get started and get their numbers up.

February 23 - Serve a meal at the Dallas Life Homeless Shelter (4-6:30...details to follow later)
April 25 - Friday Night Friends (tentative)

Please mark them on your calendar. I trust these will be rewarding projects that we can pay back to our community. If you could reply who will be able to participate this month I would appreciate it.

Jason
