Renewal & Rhythm

This time of year, many of us make resolutions to do something different, try something new and set goals for the future. As Christians, we have that opportunity every morning. That's why, for the next two weeks, we have invited Dave Zimmerman to talk about renewal and rhythms as aspects of a vital Christian life. The center of our discussion will be the two halves of Acts 2. We'll be meeting at the Lamszus' house (1032 Swift Road, 1C, Glen Ellyn, IL map) at 7:30 pm this Tuesday January 17th. Hope to see you there! As always, don't hesitate to email if you have any questions or would like to get more involved.

Happy New Year! 2012 Kickoff

Welcome back! We hope you had a great Christmas and New Year's celebration. Hopefully you had time to enjoy the holidays with friends and family and reflect on your walk with God. This time of year can get lonely too, and we missed you! Let's make 2012 a year of spiritual growth. So to start it off, we're doing something different. This Tuesday, January 10th, we will be meeting at Parkview Community Church (map) in the M3 classroom at 7:00 pm. We'll be having pizza, so come hungry and bring a few dollars if you would like some. Maybe you've never come before, or life just got busy and it's been a while, we would love for you to join us. If you have any questions or would just like to grab some coffee with a fellow believer, don't hesitate to contact us.

Christmas Party!

Please join us this Tuesday night, December 13th, as we celebrate Christmas together. Perhaps your classes are done or work is winding down, so this is the perfect time to celebrate or if finals week is still approaching and work is crazy you need a break!. We'll meet at John & Elyse's house (1032 Swift Road, Apartment 1C, Glen Ellyn, IL) at 7pm. Bring some food to share, a friend, and some spare change. See the note from Cara below!

You thought the holidays were for giving gifts, right? Wrong. The holidays are a great time to steal spare change from your parents, siblings, or annoying cousins. :) I am hosting a coin drive for the trip I'm taking to an orphanage in Honduras in January. Although I don't condone any form of stealing, I am collecting any spare change that can be donated (yours or otherwise...no questions asked). A little spare change will go a long way! The collection will take place now through January 10th. You can give me the coins as they are--no need to roll them or convert them into bills. All proceeds will go towards buying supplies for the kids at the orphanage. As many supplies as possible will be bought while in Honduras to support local business there. Also, I could use your help in getting others involved. If you would like to post a flier in your office, apartment building, or church, please use this pdf.
