Class Update 8/2

We had another great week of discussion on chapters 14 and 15 of The Shack. This Sunday, we will wrap up with discussion on the last three chapters of the book. Come be part of the discussion, even if you haven't read the book! Marilyn Dickson is scheduled to join us in class on Aug 23 to share her thoughts on the book, and discuss any questions that we have.

We still have openings that need to be filled on the Children's Sunday School sign-up sheet. If you are willing/able to teach on either Aug 23, or Aug 30, please let me know, so I can provide your info to Connie Presley. It's OK if you've already taken a week earlier in the summer. They'll let you teach more than once... :)

Social

Our next class social will be a pool party at the Beathard's house on Aug 29. You should have received an e-vite last week with the details. If you did not receive the e-vite, let me know and we'll get the info to you.

Joys and Concerns

Congrats to Stephen and Blaire, who celebrated their first anniversary on Sunday!

Please pray for Amanda M.'s mom, who has learned that she has breast cancer.

Please pray for Kristin's friend who has moved to L.A. on a moment's notice for her husband's new job.

June 7th Class Update

We were back in class this Sunday after a couple of weeks off. David continued his lesson series on "Humility is #2" citing examples from the Old Testament (Daniel) and slightly more modern times (Socrates).

Announcements:

• A reminder about upcoming class lessons: We will be beginning our class discussions on The Shack in less than two weeks (June 21), with our first week's discussion focusing on Chapters 1-3. Amy has mentioned that they found the book at Costco for less than $10, if you don't already have your copy. We will be using questions from a study guide for the book to facilitate our class discussions, but you don't necessarily have to read the book to participate in the discussion... We just want to see your smiling faces, and hear what you have to say. :) We are really looking forward to learning from each other, and getting to know each other better at the same time!
• Thanks to all who have signed up to teach children's Sunday School! Cat and I taught the 4th grade class last week, and it was fairly painless. :) They mail you a lesson/script in advance, so it is really pretty easy. We still have some slots open in Aug, and on the 5th of July, if anyone wants to jump in.
  
  Upcoming Social Event:

We are planning on having our next class social on Friday, June 19. We will have a happy hour/cookout/pool party at our house. Very casual, come-and-go, type event... More details to come... but mark your calendars now!

Joys and Concerns:

Congrats to KJ, who has completed her Master Degree!
