Sorry, the blog wasn't updated sooner, but this week has been FULL.
Last WEDNESDAY, Michelle facilitated a great program on worship. She started by going straight to the source and we read several selections from the Bible (old and new testament). Discussion then veered to our own thoughts of worship and how these reflect (or don't) the passages from the Bible.
PRAYER requests:
* Illnesses: Trent-siezures (Alex & Ellen's nephew), Joey-not eating (Rebecca's nephew), Kelli's mother and grandmother.
* Rachel's family, especially her brother (David). Eliza's family.
* Jobs: Kelli, Alex (post grad), Michelle (interview 11-20 at 1:45 pm), Ellen (transfer?).
* Praises: Alex is almost done with school (party Dec. 16), Shannon's father is feeling much better and is holding his own.
FRIDAY, we sold organic, free trade coffee at the UMW boutique and several new people joined us (yeah!). Hope you can all make it to the next bridge night for Advent discussion.
SATURDAY was our progressive dinner. Thank you everyone who hosted! We had wonderful food and fellowship as we progressed from soup to dessert at four different houses. (any attendees who would like to pitch in a few dollars for expenses, please give $ to Ellen).
SUNDAY was Gavin Kirtley's Baptism!
Upcoming. Upcoming. Upcoming. Upcoming. Upcoming.

Well, it looks like the holiday rush is upon us!
