 This week we'll be joining ECC for the Passover Seder. (for those who pre-registered). If you aren't registered, you could always call the church to check if they can sneak you in at the last minute ... but the deadline has passed so no promises. :) This past week (March 26th) was a very small group so we ended up just eating our comfort food and hanging out/praying, so Mark will be teaching Genesis 15 - 18 next week.

VideoHere's a bit of review... and a bit of context for this and upcoming weeks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1QvTbFHS4A
Time: 7:00 PMWhere: Mark's Place Topic: Genesis 11 - Stacey is teaching! Mark will come up with something snacky for the evening. 
An Extremely Interesting book below, which addresses many of the extra-biblical questions we have raised thus far. I'm currently speaking with Pastor Barry about why the Old Testament references this book, yet they omitted its passages from the Old Testament. "Is not this written in the Book of Jasher?" Joshua, 10:13. "Behold it is written in the Book of Jasher." II Samuel, 1:18I present to you... The Book of Jasherhttp://www.loveyah.com/jasher/Jasher1.htmRead Responsibly...
Time: 6:30 PMWhere: Stacey's Place Topic: Genesis 9-? Stu is teaching! 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. Check out the Video Below:
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!!!
