Weekend at First Assembly

Next Event on the journey to El Salvador:

Missions team dedication in services at First Assembly February 3rd and 4th:

ALL TEAM MEMBERS:

3rd: Saturday night, arrive 5:45 pm in the First Assembly sanctuary and sit up front with Mr. Mitchell. You will come to the front, down on the floor level, and line up facing the audience after Sten speaks and walks down to the floor. (Follow Miss Earp). You will not have to stay for this service so after the prayer, QUIETLY walk right out the side door and leave.

4th: Sunday, arrive by 9:15 am and sit down front again with Mr. Mitchell. Same procedure except after the prayer we go back to our seats and stay for the service. Don't leave after first service because people will take your seats. At the 11:00 service the teachers and staff will be going up with you when it comes to prayer time, BUT you can leave QUIETLY after the prayer and head out the back door.

THANK YOU! We need the prayers of as many people as possible. It always excites our church to see young people head out to the missions field.

Dress nicely for each service (no jeans or dress down)

Holiday House Fundaiser Cancelled

Breaking Bad News (not about the TV show Breaking Bad, but not good news...) - we have been informed by the Board of the Burroughs Home/Holiday House that we will NOT be able to do our fundraiser there this year. Addy was just contacted today. So...this hurts but it does not take the Lord by surprise. We need to pray for another opportunity, another door to open. I know teams in the past had car washes here on Saturdays. If any parents and students want to get together and do that, we do have some supplies here and we can check with the church to use this area - but that is just an idea. 

The week of November 6-10

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

- On your calendar of IMPORTANT DATE this Friday is the "Point of No Return." This applies to all those that are planning on attending the trip will be financially responsible for purchasing their plane ticket. We have to commit a number to the airline so we have to know exactly who is going now.

-  Make sure you have signed up with Addy DIRECTLY about working the Holiday House. We need parents to do that so that all conflicts are checked and that you mark those dates on your calendar when you are expected to work. Basketball players should make sure they do not have game conflicts. We need people to commit because canceling puts pressure on others to fill a spot in the last minute and that is difficult at times. Be in prayer for a great time of giving this year for the missions team.
