FBC and the University Ministry will be hosting the WBU Track Team for dinner on Monday, Dec. 4 at 6:00 p.m. in the LA.

There are 44 people on the team including coaches and families, therefore we would like to ask your class to help with side dish items and desserts, but also to be there to fellowship and have dinner with the team that night. We want them to know they are welcomed here!

We will be grilling burgers and dogs. So if anyone wants to help grill, you can volunteer for that also.

Possibilities for sides are:
chips, dips, beans, potato salad, etc

Desserts: Whatever...anything will be enjoyed!

Would you please respond to this email if you are either able to provide food and/or attend the dinner that night.

Thank you for your help!

A message from David

Hello friends,

During the coat distribution on Saturday, we learned about a family in Hale Center whose house burned down. They lost everything, and Phyllis Wall asked if we could consider how we might help them out. I have coats for all the family members, but I am leaving town tomorrow morning. Is there someone who could deliver the coats to the Hale Center Gin this week?

The family name is Spencer. Parents Chris and Lori have three boys (ages 3, 8, and 10) and one girl (age 5). A phone number where they can be reached is 729-4644. Please let me know if you can help out here.

Thanks to Mario and Ester for volunteering to take the coats to Hale Center! The Spencer family is staying with her mother right now, but they will need a place to settle into before receiving much more. Let's talk this over on Sunday.

Update for Nov 2, 2006

Hello everyone,

Let me start by thanking the fellows who put together the burrito breakfast on Sunday morning. It was a wonderful time of fellowship, and we appreciate your work to meet our needs.

It looks like we finally get to have our own room again! Jim, our new maintenance engineer, located a room in the educational building that will be ours (at least for a while). It is room 317 and Jim assures me that we will have a white board and the orange chair. I will look for our maps and other items. Let's all plan to meet in room 317 this Sunday.

Many of you submitted questions for the "20 questions" study. I have organized the questions into several series of studies. But that does not mean that the polls are closed. Please continue to send questions and topics for discussion.

For this coming Sunday, we will look at the issue of Chaos and Order. The scripture passages to look over are:
Gen. 1:1-2:1; 6:1-4; Job 10:8-22; 1 Cor. 14:39-40; 15:20-28. The question that prompted this lesson is “What is the relationship between chaos (Gen. 1:1) and the giants mentioned in Gen. 6:1-4?” (How's that for a question?)

Cathy and I stopped by the Ward's house tonight. Dianne is feeling better, though she is staying busy with the therapy procedures. Charlotte will have her radiation treatment on November 7, so remember her in prayer also. And if you have any prayer requests or praises, let Larry Ward know at retiredandnursing@cox.com.

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday,
david
