CG Retreat

We started off the retreat at the Hendrix's awesome cabin

We cooked over an open fire; i think it worked out quite well...except for maybe the um...corn lol

some of us weren't quite as photogenic as others....cough....josh :P

The next morning we went back to my house for breakfast and some time in the Word

There was a visit to the toy store

Back at Steph's house some people engaged in a lively game of chess

And Brandon decided to look like a thug :P

Yeah for cooking!

Hannah and Allie drew pictures on each person's cups....there are a few nice ones and a disturbing on here as well (can u guess which one?) o.O

This was Jimmy's:

Unfortunately, this one was mine....[Hannah!]

This was Hannah's:

Allie's made me laugh [note both the front and back of the cup]

The End :D

Repost: Goals for 2008

Hey All-

Thank you for being a community of believers who love God’s Word and love to talk about how to understand it and apply it! We are very grateful to God for this grace in your lives!

Here are the details of the goals for 2008 that we talked about at the Big Meeting:

Bible:

* Pick a book to know.
* Pick a friend to study with.
* Read through the page that we handed out: Some thoughts on how to study a book of the Bible.
* Set aside time each week to read and study.
* Pick a commentary (email your pastor for suggestions).


Mission:

* Befriend one non-believer that you don’t currently know.
o Suggestions for first steps: students in your classroom, people at the gym, the barista at Starbucks, the neighbor next door.
* Make it a goal to hang out with this person consistently (i.e., monthly).
* Make a point to invite this person to whatever you’re doing.


* Identify a new need in the community and then get a group of people together to help you meet this need.
* Or if you do not identify a new need, partner with someone who has.


Suggested book to read for Mission: Christian Mission in the Modern World by John Stott (especially Chapters 1 & 2 on Mission and Evangelism)

And please be praying that God would keep us pure as a people!

If you have any questions or comments please email us!
Isaac, Jon, & Braden

Random Group Pictures

Well, Rhea wasn't too happy that she forgot to get a group picture at the Christmas party, but we did get a few at the movie night (which was also J.I.'s first caregroup function). Here are some of the best (we were having a problem making them not blurry).



way to go Rebecca, moving your head at just the wrong time ;)
I'm not entirely sure what was going on in this picture...I prefer not to think about it
