On the agenda for tomorrow:

• Watch lesson three from The Truth Project

  I’m looking for someone who might be willing to help me put together a flyer for the food drive and to share with the community our hearts to serve them wherever they may have a need.
• Discuss our next “just hanging out together” time

Hello Everyone,

If this is your first time visiting us, we would like to welcome you to our group.  We don’t care if you are seeking Christ, or have already developed a relationship with Him, we are all about learning more about Him and His love for us.  If you would like to come hang out with us sometime, please feel free to contact CJ Cunniff (319.892.3405) and he can get you some additional information about our super awesome, unbelievably amazing, ridiculously fun group!

Here is a quick update for you all from our last meeting.

The results of the poll are listed below.  The top areas of interest were “The Mission of Hope”, “Babysitting”, Neighborhood car wash and volunteering at “Aid to Women”.  CJ will be contacting “the Mission of Hope” and Aid to Women to see what their needs are, and then coordinating a time for us to begin in those ministries as we are able.

CJ also got positive feedback related to “The Truth Project” as our first study.  CJ will be ordering those materials and touching base with everyone to discuss what we can do to get the word out.

Finally, we promised that a suggested date for our next meeting would be sent out.  I’m going to be out this weekend, so I would like to suggest Sunday, July 25th from around 6:30 until we all get tired.  If that day or time doesn’t work for you please let me know.  If enough people can’t make it we will reschedule.  Also, as “The Truth Project” is video based, if you miss a study, I will be happy to loan the DVD out to anyone who would like it.

Pastor Richard Marsceau

What is capture the flag?  Capture the flag is a minimal contact strategy/war game where teams strategize, and then attempt to cross over into ‘enemy territory’ to bring back the opponent’s flag.  A game is over when this is done successfully or if one team surrenders because they are out of players due to being caught behind enemy lines.  Water balloons and flour bombs are used to add an extra element into the event.  Water balloons are used for throwing and for launching from a water-balloon launcher.  Flour bombs are used only for throwing.

Where is capture the flag? The Marsceau property is located in Troy Mills, approx. 30 minutes north of Cedar Rapids.  Most of the area, where the event will be held, is an open field.  However, a small section of the woods will also be used for those who are up for ‘stealth missions’.

This is a fun event for kids and adults alike.  Come out to Troy Mills on July 31st and have some fun with us.
