* Usually presented in small portions, (I will have small plates available for you to prepare serving sizes - if needed)
* Always Presented with an Artistic Flair!
This is your chance to express yourself Artistically with food!
Yes, you could do this with a creatively arranged platter of Pringles... but I know you're all much more adventurous than that :-)
Come at 6:00 if you need prep time or just want to hang out... we'll probably eat at 6:30 and during the meeting... We will also label your dishes in French to add to the effect :-)
Bon Chance!
I will pick it up from Genesis 32

They can be purchased by calling the church office 717-733-4071. We think it would be great to go there as a group especially as we are in the Old Testament.

Stacey is coordinating hobo ice cream sundaes?! Wohoo!
BYFICT (Bring Your Favorite Ice Cream Topping)
She's providing the ice cream.
I have emailed a spreadsheet lining up 10 of the ancient accounts of The Great Flood, by each event that was recorded, so you can go through them all in one reading! I think you'll really enjoy it! If you read it you might be able to guess who this guy is! I'm sure he will come up in our discussion this week. :-)

Time: 6:00 PM for supper!
Where: Mark's Place
Topic: Genesis 6-8 Donna is teaching!
Supper - Let's think IMPROV!
Time to think outside the bun... No it's not Taco Bell.... it's HOBO STEW (not Hobo Stu).
What is Hobo Stew you ask? Well I'm providing the Pot the Broth and the Meat.... And everyone else please bring something to add to it... Like the hobos used to do in the 1930's;
Think of the possibilities... Vegetables / Beans / Other meats / Spices / Cheeses / Pasta / Grains... The possibilities are almost endless**
This will be so fun - But our taste buds need your help!
**I will act as master-chef so we end up with something delicious.
Just bring something "stewish" (precooked if necessary) so we can just warm it and eat.
Any side dishes are welcome as well.

From the Horses Mouth
I wanted to update everyone on the updates you've been getting. I'm recovering, making strides every day as the scar lightens and the swelling goes down. Today I got the final results and am clear from Cancer. Praise God. My left lobe was actually twice it's size, (not 4 times as Mark was told)... but that was enough swelling to make it a difficult operation for the surgeon... and thus probably add to some of my back, neck and head aches.
Thank you all so much for your prayers, flowers, gifts, food, calls and texts, etc. As you have heard, my office and family has been overwhelmingly helpful, too. It's been great not to have to worry about food and just be able to rest. Also, after missing so much work, it's a great financial blessing. I actually had to turn my phone off at times to try and get some rest since I was getting so much lovin.
Today I came into the office for 2 hours and it's definitely as much as I'm able to spend up and around. I'm ready to head home and lay down. I plan to slowly add extra curricular things back into my life... so I won't be at small group tonight, but look forward to being with everyone together soon. I'm so so thankful for the body of Christ... it's during times like these that we can see how it's supposed to operate. :)
Love you all!!!

Hello Everyone! If you are new to the gang, or a part of the group of friends that used to hang out at "the pub" on Thursday nights, you are now cordially invited to join some of you former comrades for a good evening of catching-up, prayer and breaking open the book from The Beginning. Hope to see you then!
Jesse's Driveway is plowed, however there is probably only room for about 8 vehicles in it. PLEASE CARPOOL! Feel free to post a comment here if you want to host a carpool.
