Weekly Rundown (8.23.09)

• Starting this week's Rundown with a little college football news: the 'Dawgs are #13 in the AP and Coaches' Poll.  I like starting there much better than #1.  Kick-off in 2 weeks!!!!!!


• Got to give a shout out to our amazing tech volunteers at all our venues and campuses.  This team works hard to make our Sunday mornings happen. Most people don't even know them or see them but you see their work ... from sound and lighting to video and camera shots ... they "git 'r' done!!"


• Sunday Night Live for our Students is in full swing up in Dalton and Area Bible Studies kicked off last week as well.  Lots of amazing opportunities for students to grow closer to Jesus and have some fun doing it.  Calhoun Student Ministry's BIG kick-off is just weeks away!!
  
  
  
  • What is an "area bible study"? An gathering of teenagers in homes all over the place where they hang-out, have fun, and do a Bible study in a relaxed, conversational environment
  
  
  • PARENTS: DID YOU KNOW?  If you son or daughter starts participating in an area bible study when they enter 6th grade, by the time they graduate high school they will have studied about all the major parts of Scripture ... life of Christ, Old Testament, Paul, etc. etc.?!?!?!  AMAZING OPPORTUNITY to leave high school with a working knowledge of the entire Bible :)
  
  
  
  


• Some cool learning opportunities coming up this week ... I love to learn new things!!


• We are starting to look at various opportunities for our church to get more involved with foreign missions and God's GLOBAL work.  We are very involved in local efforts but we know the call on the church is a global call and so we're trying to figure out what that looks like for Rock Bridge.


• Football Friday starts this Friday night -- look for me on local TV!!


• The rainy season is almost over in Ethiopia so we are hoping that speeds up our adoption process!!


• Have an awesome week!!
