Class Update

Dear Class,

How is the Body of Christ doing? I know that is a loaded question because there is so much going on in the lives of those around us. Just take a breath and evaluate your life? It scares me to death to make that evaluation and realize that Life is meant to be lived over a life time and not crammed into a few years. It feels like we are cramming it, doesn’t it?

I have been gone the last few Sundays, but they could not be avoided. I am back for the duration of our class and looking forward to the Sundays ahead. We will begin a Bible Study series into the life of Moses, one of the great leaders of all the Bible and one that has much to teach us as he lived out his life in obedience and sacrifice. Let me challenge you to read up on Moses. You can find him in the book of Exodus chapter 2.

We are going to look at a “Simple Man with a Huge Calling” and challenge ourselves to ask a hard question; What has God called me to do? We will find some hidden treasures as to how we can follow God’s challenge and direction for our lives.

A couple of Calendar Items:
• There will be NO Class on Sunday, November 30th (with the holidays surrounding this and many of us gone we are going to let you beat the Methodist to Moe’s)
• Bowling Night at Oak Mountain Lanes on Sunday, December 7 (there will be a sign up sheet passed around over the next couple of weeks that will have a place for Childcare needs) Cost will be about $9 per person (for one game... $5.50 per game and $3.50 for shoes...unless you have your own and then I worry about you). Time will be in the 4 to 7 pm range.

Lets have a BIG class this coming Sunday. I am going to preach (teach) the legs off the podium and have some fun in the process! Lets see everyone there!!!

Prayer Requests for first week of November

Hey gang, I thought I'd open up the blog for prayer request. Please remember Kerry Richardson's dad who is having major heart surgery today. I know there were more, just the Red in me forgot the specifics of them all, but please comment and add them on so we can all pray for each other.

What would be MOST the most important aspect in considering a new home group assignment?
