It sounds like the first real blast of wintery weather may be headed our way! The weather has been sooooo nice and it is the end of October so ........Winter, here we come! :)
Cooler weather always makes me want soup or stew (and homemade bread, but that is a constant no matter the weather). Let's plan soup and sandwiches for this coming week, October 30.
Stay warm! See you all Sunday!

October 23
We were blessed with incredibly pleasant weather for our first home group meeting! It was so warm we set up for the kids to eat outside and I heard someone complaining that it was, "Too hot!" In October! :)
I would like to send a shout-out to Dakota Brown for volunteering to spend our Bible study time with the younger kids. The kids so enjoy spending time with him and it is a gift to those of us who are enjoying spending that time in the Bible study. Thank you, Dakota!!!!
We all studied through the Introduction of "Surrender" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. Now we should be ready to launch into the first chapter and be all "studied up" for next week. :) Surrender is a concept that can bring with it a lot of different ideas and emotions, uneasiness and even fear. As we explore more deeply the idea of totally surrendering to the Creator of the Universe, who loves us more than we love ourselves, who tells us in His Word, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.", it becomes more and more exciting!
Next week, October 23rd, let's plan to have Italian Food for lunch.
Hope to see everyone at worship, if not before!

First Meeting after Summer Break- October 16
Fall!! It's here!!! I sooo enjoy this time of year and can hardly believe it's here. :)
Now that the most of us have finished our summer vacations and projects that we launched into over the summer, (or for SOME of us--- projects that we launched into......... kept adding to and wonder if we are ever really going to get done with!), it's time to get started enjoying each others company and Bible study with home groups again! Yay!! I'm excited! :)
October 16th will be our first meeting. As we have done in the past we will have potluck and then Bible study right after our worship service. I usually attach a theme to our potluck. Please never feel that you have to follow the theme. Bring whatever you would like. :) This simply narrows down the options I have to choose from when I'm trying to decide what to fix. Since decisiveness is not one of my strengths I can use all the help I can get! :) Anyway, enough of that. October 16 has officially been declared Mexican Food Day because........everyone loves Mexican food, right?
In our Bible study last time we studied through a book by Nancy Leigh Demoss, "Brokenness". This time we will continue in her series with the second book, "Surrender". Our study last time was wonderful and this one will be as well, I'm sure. If you need info concerning the book you can contact Susan Brown. Our group was large enough last time that we broke up into two smaller groups for study. It is always such a blessing to get to know one another better and study together, sharing experiences and wisdom. As always I'm really looking forward to it!!
Hoping to see everyone Sunday!!!
