DLmail 10/28/2009 I'll be brief



This coming Saturday is Halloween. My guess, our low numbers will be even lower than we have been experiencing. I guess a lot of people are home-churching kids these days (kind of like home-schooling).


We created the bags for the South Side Mission Food Drive that Northwoods sponsored. According to Phil Newton, director of the Mission, *,***,*** tons of food were collected. I reckon someone will make an official announcement soon. It was great to encourage the kids to participate.

Although we don't expect many kids Saturday (it might just be Erika), we need to be there, just in case. Not everyone will follow the pagan ritual of dressing their children up as Hannah Montana, clipping a flashing orange light to their back and sending her/him to the neighbors to ask for candy. Makes me wonder, how did the pagan's ever come up with this activity?

I handed out your small group lesson stuff last week. If you didn't get it, check the email I just sent you for a copy that is attached. Jeannine will also likely send you something. Don't forget how important serving is. Without volunteers Northwoods wouldn't work. Then we would all be home-churching and it's hard enough just cooking supper more than 3 nights a week. Who wants to be alone in the spiritual upbringing of their kids? I want help. Others may too.

Last week I included a quiz of sorts, to keep Sammy's attention. Well he responded and he won himself a seat next to me at a football game and a sweet cup of hot chocolate. Let's see if he is alone in guessing these football team logos now that everyone knows that serious prizes are at stake.

PRAY FOR DON BOWEN AND HIS FAMILY!
