Finally a post:-)

Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and New Years! I can't believe it is already 2009--the year just flew by, especially the last month. I am going to go over some announcements, list out the snack list, and then go on to the prayer list:-)

First, we as a class are going to have a potluck next week, the 18th--you can bring your families as it will be directly after Sunday school:-) We were thinking that something in a crock pot would be the easiest to keep warm--soup, chili, dip, whatever. I think we will need a few people to bring toppings like cheese and sour cream and maybe some crackers, and then a few people to bring dessert. Maybe each family can just bring a 2 liter for drinks so that doesn't fall to one person.

Next, for Super Bowl Sunday, which is February 1st, we will be having a party at Vic and Michana's house. Kids are welcome to come. Not sure about the food situation there--I am sure we will discuss it as it comes closer.

On the 23rd of this month our class is scheduled for a social through the church with childcare provided. I know that Shon and I have used it as a date night a few times, and also have just gone out with a few couples. I don't know if we want to do anything as a class, but if not whomever wants to needs to sign up with Dorothy Oxier. The cost is $2.00 per child, and supper is provided. It is from 6 until 9.

There is a men's conference coming up in February on the 27th and 28th. It is a Friday night and Saturday morning. I am sure there will be more information about that, too.

Here is the snack list for the next few months:

If you see an empty spot you would like to fill--just let me know either in an email or in the comments section. Here are the prayer requests:

1. Dugger: PRAISE that Selena's mom was there for the birth of the baby on NY eve, and that they were able to talk before that. Todd is traveling this week. Also pray for her older sister who is looking for a place to relocate--she will be in Tampa, FL for a month and will be leaving her son in Texas with his dad if moving.

2. Rimmer: Prayer for Michana's brother's children--they didn't' receive much from their parents for Christmas. PRAISE that Garrett led the oldest, Cody to Christ. Natalie was able to talk more with Cody. Keep praying for him and his decision.

3. Pleggenkuhle: CONGRATULATIONS on their 17 year anniversary last Sunday.

4. Dunlap: pray for Shon and us as he continues to travel each week from now through March.

5. Pray for the family of the Springdale high school teacher who was killed at the beginning of the week in a car accident. He left behind a wife, 2 yr old daughter, and new child on the way.

If I have left anyone off, please don't hesitate to email me. I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I will see you guys on Sunday!
