Meeting Recap Oct 24

Here are the tidbits captured at this evenings Missional Community gathering.

With regards to the November Theodore Judah Community Pot Luck ~ Tim will explore approximately 30 optional meeting dates since there is no school on Friday, November 11 in observation of Veterans Day. He will contact the school and let us know what he comes up with. Several options discussed were: Nov. 18th, Nov. 10th, Nov. 11th.......if he has no luck in selecting a date there will be no T.J. pot luck for the month of November.

With regards to the December Theodore Judah Community Pot Luck ~ Tim will explore optional meeting dates since the cafeteria where we normally hold the pot luck is being used for another purpose on December 9th. As in the first item, Tim will contact the school and get back to us with a date for December.

There are still many opportunities for us to make friends with a Spanish speaking parent at Theodore Judah. Contact Kara Espinoza at karaespinoza@comcast.net if you would like to get involved in any way.

Read Chapter four in Friendship at the Margins for our next M.C. Meeting, November 6 (note: no meeting on Halloween Eve).

Please remember the following in your prayers in the next few weeks: Paul who applied for a part time teaching position, Kent who is speaking at a church staff retreat in Pismo Beach, and Blanche Sprentz BAM (bears and mentors) program that is scheduled to begin October 26.

And finally, if you get the opportunity to call Mac Mr. Cupcake during the next few weeks he would really appreciate it!

Meeting Recap Oct 2

With regards to the Theodore Judah Potluck, Friday, October 14:

1. Don't forget it's at 5:30pm (you may remember it was at 5:00pm last school year, but it's bumped back a half hour now).
2. Next week, at our regular MC Potluck/Meeting we'll sign-up to bring food and drinks to the TJ Potluck, decide who's on set-up, clean-up, etc. So far ~ Emily, Diane and Kent plan on being at T.J. between 4:30pm and 5:00pm to set-up.
3. We are still looking for a few folks to step up and join the Joint Games Committee. Come on you know you want to do it! It will be a great opportunity to make new friends.
4. Lakeside's 18 to 24 group may also be joining us.
5. Judy's son, Erik will be attending to help bridge the gap between our Spanish speaking and English speaking friends. Muchas Gracias Erik!

Speaking of Potlucks:
There won't be any food at our October 16 MC Meeting. And our meeting (for that day only) will be at 6:00pm rather then 5:30pm. We are meeting a half hour later to allow for time to eat elsewhere from 5:30 to 6:00. But Tim said, you can feel free to eat after the meeting if you like. All this talk of food is really making me hungry....I think I'll go make a roast beef sandwich.

Book Study:
We had a great discussion on Chapter One from Friendship at the Margins; and a Family Feud Type discussion on friendships in general (that's the white-board picture I was referring to earlier).
Please read Chapter Two for next week and be prepared to discuss reconnecting righteousness and justice through friendships. (I hope we play another game!)
Memory Verse: Work on memorizing II Peter 1: 3- 11.

Prayer Request:

1. Please remember to pray for Brian, Andrew and Samuel Whitney and all of Jennifer's close friends who are grieving her passing. Pray for our whole church family who is heavy hearted over the loss of Jen, Hugh and Tarrah.
2. Also pray for the two young men and their families that are faced with the loss of life and perhaps incarceration and also pray for our community in general and the Power House families.
