Upcoming Meeting

It will be time to get together again soon.  Either of the last two weeks of May are the target for our next meeting.  The Sunday before Memorial Day is the 24th and is the first option. The following Sunday, May 31 is the second.  I will be asking this weekend which you prefer.  Feel free to respond before that via email..

The format for the next meeting will be a bit different.  We will bring in pizza and will set up for a bit longer meeting.  We are going to set up in the room where the toddlers meet.  The start time will be our same pattern of getting started when the breakdown is done.  We will plan on 15-20 minutes to eat and then we may meet for up to one hour.

Why?

1 - There are some details that we need to share.

2 - We have some decisions we need to make for ourselves.

     The kinds of things we need to decide relate to    a) how we set up our housing
                                   b) how we set up our first day on the island
                                   c) how we coordinate with the group from Alabama....they want to join us in VBS
                                   d) how we spend a long, long day in the Miami airport......we will bring some suggestions.

REMINDERS:

A) Complete ( or start ) writing your personal testimony.  We may have the opportunity to share these on our Sunday as we share worship with local congregations.

B) Prepare a devotional.....( or start ).

C) Remember to cull any orange from your wardrobe......blue and gold is very cool in the eyes of the islanders.

D) Pray.  If uncertain of what to offer up, pray for Emma and Cesar Emman, our hosts.  Pray for one another.....pray for the children we will be serving.....pray for the volunteers we will be working with (and who typically each of us will be supporting.......they are the boss).


Lets get ready to do Curacao!  What a blessing we have to be able to go serve and grow by serving.  

I am so much looking forward to this time we plan to share together.  Don't hesitate to call if there is anything I can do for you to help you get ready.
