The Truth Project!

Hi Everyone,

Well, some of us in the homegroup spent some time going over the first 9 DVD's from the Truth Project a few months ago. We have 3 more to watch. The church office is looking to receive them back soon; as they are on loan to us.

With that said, we are wondering who would be interested in watching the last 3? Here are the subjects that will be discussed. The American Experiment: Stepping Stones, Labor: Created to Create, and Community & Involvement: God Cares Do I?

Our weekends in May are full, so we are looking at doing a Tuesday or a Thursday night beginning at 7:00pm and would finish by 10:00pm. We know it is a lot of information on the DVD's but there are study notes to go along with it so you can take them home for further reference.

We will provide some drinks and snacks!

Please let us know if you are interested and we will come up with a date on a Tuesday or Thursday in the month of May. If I don't hear from you soon, I will just assume that you are not interested.

Homegroup Christmas Party 2008

Yes, I'm now posting pictures from the homegroup Christmas party!

This Wednesday!

Okay, the Siedlecki's are game for hosting a fun evening on the 5th Wednesday of this month. The plan is to have a bonfire and I heard some of the guys may bring their musical instruments.

Why don't we start at 7:00pm.

So here is what to bring:

Lawn Chairs
Games
2 liter drink to share
Bug spray
Stuff to make smores - chocolate, graham crackers, marshmallows, skewers or sticks (last name A-L)
Sweet or Salty Item - (last name M-Z)
Does that sound good? We can change things if needed. Let me know if you have any other suggestions for that night.

Ladies Night

Hey Ladies,
So this Friday is Ladies Night at my house. Don't forget it's natural hair night. You have to wash your hair and come to the party natural! Should be a treat. Also, feel free to bring your favorite snack foods with you. We'll start around 7 pm. Call me for directions (407-312-3676)because it's not in mapquest and if you can possibly car pool (all you who live up north) please do because there are parking issues with the HOA here. Call me if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you!

Snack List

So I finally figured out how to edit this thing! I posted an updated snack list. I will try to keep it 4 - 6 weeks ahead of time so you will have time to know if you will be there or not. I will also try to remind you at church the preceeding Sunday but please check here to know when it is your week. Thanks

Tracy on Bed Rest

Hi Everyone,

Tracy's midwife put her on bed rest the other day. She has been contracting so the midwife gave her medication to stop them.

She will be on bed rest until her next appointment which in April 23rd. Then, the midwife will determine from there.

Please pray for Tracy, baby Bradley, Norah and Seth. I'm sure this is not what they expected.

God is in control!

Prayer on this end too...

Sorry to bug you guys. But, I am potentially facing bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy - which is a long time! I'm not due until August 6th. I need prayer against this!! I went to my midwife yesterday and apparently I've been having contractions and not noticing. So I was told to go home and watch and count. I ended up having way to many last night. So I've been told to be on complete bedrest today and tomorrow and then we will re-evaluate things. Three things could be causing the contractions: 1. dehydration (which I drank an ungodly amount of water yesterday - so it pretty much isn't that) 2. some sort of infection 3. pre-term labor. We sent some samples off yesterday to test for an infection and I should hear the results today or tomorrow. Norah is taken care of for the next couple days so I am just home resting. Which is pretty boring! Please pray that the contractions stop and everything is okay. I'm still having them today every time I stand up. Thanks!

Prayer for Tomorrow

As everyone knows, we are being sued for a very large sum of money for a fender bender in 2006. Tomorrow there is a hearing scheduled to determine whether or not Caleb is at fault. The plaintiff wants the judge to determine he was completely at fault so that when the case goes before a jury sometime later, the case will be only to determine what damages are awarded. The jury will just be told we are at fault and will not get the opportunity to determine that for themselves. We obviously don't want that to happen.

Unless we hear differently, the case is tomorrow morning at 10 I believe.

We would appreciate any and all prayers.

Going to the Siedlecki's

Okay, the Siedlecki's are game for hosting a fun evening on the 5th Wednesday of this month. The plan is to have a bonfire and I heard some of the guys may bring their musical instruments.

Be Diligent to Enter God's Rest

Hi Everyone,

I just listened to a message by John Piper titled Be Diligent to Enter God's Rest. The scriptures he is referring to are Hebrews 4:1-10. These are the same scriptures Jesse spoke on last Sunday.

This message from Piper may give some more clarity to our homegroup discussion last night on these scriptures.

Piper concurs that versus 3-10 in Hebrews 4 are a bit complicated. Towards the end of his sermon, he list 5 points in reference to God's rest.

I think the message is worth listening to. If you have an ipod, I'm sure you can download.

I would be interested to know what you think after listening to his message.
