Care Sunday

This past Sunday was Care Sunday. The care groups have been redone a little, so if you are reading this and were not in LifeGroup Sunday, it may have changed. Your care group leader should have been in contact with you in the past week or so, though.

We are going to try to start getting together as a class at least once in the fall and once in the spring. This will be for everybody - kids included!

Demetria is going to start "party planning". She is also going to organize things for the girls to do!

Paul is going to figure out things for the guys!

Right now, we have 2 things set:

~~~GIRLS~~~

Thursday, February 5th

Malco in Madison

BRIDE WARS

(we will announce a time the week of....)

~~~GUYS~~~

Thursday, February 12th

Fannin Lanes

BOWLING

(we will announce a time the week of...)

Also - if anyone wants to get play-groups together, feel free to do so! Or other "get togethers". It does not have to be decided on in LifeGroup!

Individual care groups are going to try to get together once a month.

I know this is a lot that I just put on here - if you have questions, call your care group leader!
