We had a great week last Sunday on the Big Sunday followed by the BBQ with 281 people gathered together and lots of excitement evident as the new entry was used for it’s first time. Amazing that so many people could eat comfortable without tearing down the auditorium for seating:) Hooray!
This week we’re meeting at 5:00pm @ Kirsten’s House and looking at 1 Samuel Chapter 16. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday and trying out all the delicious Western/BBQ/whatever you can think of food:)

After informally surveying people and finding that several of the groups are not meeting, I’ve decided to cancel Home Group for this week. Have a great day celebrating Mother’s Day … our next meeting will be on May 23rd and it will be a finger foods theme.
Have a great week!

Just wanted to say great job again with our basket for the auction last Saturday. It went for $385 and Brenda did an excellent job of making it look good!
I forgot to mention that we have cookies on Sunday! So … please bring some cookies to share and we will be good to go. I must admit that it’s a lot easier these days since we have more people 
Other item … what do we want to do with our Home Group Meeting on May 9th … it was suppose to be our Italian meeting but it’s Mother’s Day I don’t know what people’s plans are … we can leave it, we could change it up and BBQ or have pizza or some other idea … or if people have plans and are gone, we can cancel. Please let me know … kirsten_barnes@hotmail.com
Have a great week!

Reminder — the Youth Auction is quickly approaching on April 24th. We need to buy our tickets for the event and we’re Taking the Blues Away at home and on the road with our Movie Basket which will be auctioned that evening. At this point we have about 25 movies and 1 air popper, 1 popcorn bowl, popcorn seasoning, 1 box microwave popcorn. We are going to need some more things to make our basket great.
Here are some ideas that we could add to our basket:
pizza gift certificate, pop, cute pop glasses, more popcorn, blanket/snuggies, pillows, bean bag chairs or other portable small chairs for people on the floor, ice cream, smoothie maker, cookie mixes, hot chocolate, hot chocolate mugs, etc., large movie candy, gift certificate to movie store, fun napkins, plates, etc., cookbooks with snack ideas, other snacks (to make smores, nachos, etc.)
Good Luck and looking forward to seeing what we come up with!
