Precious friends,

Thank you for the love you have shown us through all the help you have given us lately. Our new home would be so ugly if it weren't for you! Also, we thank you in advance for your kind hands and feet that will help us move tomorrow.

Never before have I seen such a beautiful picture of loving community lived out; I am deeply grateful we are in each others' lives.

May our loving and faithful Lord continue to richly bless and safely keep each of you.

EDIT--hey Michael! You beat me to a post!! :)

Doug and Rebekah are moving this weekend! Let's help them out. I think that they are going to do some moving tonight (if you want to help them out, give them a call). But officially, we're going to meet on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the new place to begin moving. The more people that show, the faster we'll be finished. Hopefully we'll see you there.

Last night we had a birthday party for Chrsty, Leslie, and Brandon. I think that they were all surprised :). Happy birthday guys... sorry that we were a little late with Christy and Leslie... I'm glad we got to celebrate together! These are the things that community is all about :). I'll add a link with some pictures this afternoon.

This Sunday we're going to have some kind of chicken. There's also a connections class and lunch will be served there. Please comment to this thread if you're not coming this Sunday, if you're going to eat at the connections class, or if you'd like to bring one of the following things:

2 Salads
3 loaves of French Bread
a couple of cans of green beans (we still have some from last week :))

We have cake left over from the birthday party, so no need to bring desert. We're really excited about this Sunday. Hope that you'll all come.

Tonight we're going to paint at Doug and Rebecca's new place!!! Show up at 208 Clay St. after 6:00. If you don't like to paint, I'm sure that there'll be things for you to do like... addressing wedding invitations :). We'll also begin moving D and R sometime tomorrow morning. Come tonight or follow this post-thread for more info.

Hey guys,I thought that this would be a good way to keep in touch through the week. Here's how it works:You need a "Blogger" ID. Once you get one, send it to me and I'll add you to the user list.Then you'll be able to post on our web site.

Each week, Terese or I will post the prayer requests as one post, lunch menu as another post, and any activities that we have going on as another post. We'll send a group email when the posts are online. Hopefully, this will replace mass-group emails (which get pretty confusing for Terese and I as we share an email account with my work account....).

In order to keep things simple, organized, and manageable, please post as "comment" as often as possible. If you're adding or commenting on a prayer request, just "comment". If you're telling us that you'd like to bring something for lunch, just "comment". If you're telling us that you can't come to group on Sunday, just "comment". I think that this will provide a great medium of communication.

Let me know what you think about this idea...
