Gap-Spaghetti and Weekend Fun

Spaghetti O!

Sunday after 2nd service we are having lunch at our house (Ramirez's), so come and join us. We've got spaghetti and sauce, (and leftover chips from New Year's). We live at 1806 Rebecca Dr.

See you then.

Snowed in Weekend! The main idea behind Snowed in Weekend, comes from a winter retreat that Jonathan and I attended for several years with the College Park Christian Church in Bloomington. The camping ministry hosted a retreat where the entire idea was to get away from home so that you couldn't do anything but relax and have a good time. (Gee, we should do this in the middle of the Christmas Frenzy!) It will be at the Lodge at Little Galilee Christian Assembly in Clinton, IL. Cost will be approximately $15 plus bring food items to share depending on attendance. Start on Friday night and end Sunday after lunch. There will only be a few organized things like meals, Sunday service, and a few optional activities. Everything else is free time for chatting, games, puzzles, midnight sledding, hikes, whatever. Most of the "work" needs to be done beforehand for organizing and publicizing.

I need people to help with PR for the Snowed in Weekend. I need performers for a short skit/announcement, video people to go to LGCA, people to help in the foyer, people to organize parts of the weekend, people to help with sign up, and people to help with producing the flyers. So if you’re a person, then I think I have a task that is just right for you! PR stuff will need to be on 1/13-- sign up 1/27, 2/3, and/or 2/10 after one or both services. Paper items like need to be done prior. And Stuff for the Snowed in Weekend will need to be done at or before the weekend (2/15-2/17) I also need people to help with our mini-church service while on the retreat. Speaking, worship, organizing, communion, etc. Yeap. It's going to be a blast and if past experience holds true this is where "2 am friends are made" and those are the closest kind! I am going to keep sending this email out as I get volunteers, so that you can see where we still need help.
