Well, I’m a little late getting this out, so I apologize to all who were anxiously waiting by their inboxes all afternoon. I toyed with the idea of just waiting til tomorrow to send this, but I thought that would simply be too cruel. So here it is now!! Ta da!!

In case you haven’t heard, a team is going down to Water Missions International in Charleston from Friday, February 17 to Sunday, February 19 to spend some time putting together water systems. If you’re interested, email me and let me know because we still have 2 spots open!! If you’re already signed up, just remember that we’re having a short meeting after the Gathering on Sunday to discuss a few details.

If you’re interested in getting more plugged in at dcf, check out a family group, or consider finding a place to serve, such as making coffee, cleaning, tech crew, greeting/set-up team, etc.

New Orleans Spring Break trip sign-up is still going on!! Email me back or find me on Sunday morning if you’d like to be a part or need more information.

Now that you’ve had your village post fix for the week, have a delightfully restful weekend!

Grace and peace to you…

The Women’s Retreat starts today!!! We would greatly appreciate all the prayers you can lift up for us!!

Don’t forget that you can sign up for the missions trip to New Orleans. Email me if you would like to be a part of the team or if you need some more details.

We will be having a table on the library bridge next Friday from 10am-2pm, raising awareness about the water crisis and sharing with students about what Water Missions International does to meet the needs of many who don’t have access to safe water. Come out and see us!

Trying to keep announcements short and sweet this week, so…
Grace and peace to you…

Here are some things you may be interested in knowing (a.k.a. announcements)…

Don’t forget to find a family group to get involved with if you’re not already plugged into one. Family group leaders will be sharing on Sunday morning about the heart of their groups along with logistical details about when each one meets. Stay tuned…

Ready or not – sign-up for the Spring Break trip to New Orleans begins on Sunday! We don’t have a lot of concrete details for you, but we’ll be going Saturday, March 17 through Friday, March 23. The cost will be somewhere around $200 or less. We’ll have more details and a firmer cost as we get closer to leaving, but we want to go ahead and assemble the team so that we can start covering this trip in prayer! So pray about it, and ask how the Lord wants you to partner with us in this adventure.

Water Sunday is happening this Sunday (1.22)! Get excited as we hear from one of our own – Tyler Phillips – about what Water Missions International is doing to provide safe water for those who are going without it. We’ll be discussing some different ways we can partner with WMI this semester.

Family Groups. New Orleans. Water Sunday. I think that’s it for this edition. Hope your weekend is restful!
Grace and peace to you…

Just a couple of things this week friends…

This Sunday (1.15) is the last day to sign up for the Women’s Retreat. It’s $25, so be sure to see Sarah Mudder on Sunday and get your name on the list if you haven’t already.

Sign up for the New Orleans Spring Break Mission Trip will be coming soon!! Be praying about how the Lord wants you to be a part of the trip.

Family Groups are gearing back up for the semester! We’ll have information for you on Sunday on the different groups so that you can get plugged in.

Hoping that your Friday is full of grace and peace…

First post of the new year!!! Whoop whoop!! So yes, for those of you who are wondering, this village post means that we will be meeting this Sunday at 10am at the building. I cannot wait for what 2012 holds for us…probably some crazy good things seeing as how we’re letting the Lord lead the way. Here are a few things you should know about…

Women’s Retreat: Registration is still open if you haven’t registered yet, but don’t wait too much longer! It’s January 27-29th right in Clemson,and it’s only $25. Contact Sarah Mudder for more information.

The Nicaragua team is back in town, and we’ll be hearing their God-encounters as a church body very soon. If you see a member of the team, take the time to pull up a chair and ask them individually how the Lord used their time.

Finally, if you’re looking to make Spring Break plans, don’t forget that we’re going to New Orleans! We’ll have more details about that coming soon.

Hope your holidays have been refreshing! Can’t wait to see your faces very soon!
