The Color of the Cross

Could it be that Jesus was black? That is the premise of The Color of the Cross which tells the traditional story of Jesus with a new twist. We will watch a portion of the film tonight and then discuss our reflections on the films view of who Jesus was.

Four

Here you go, the final clue. You'll want the Bible on Josh's desk in front of you. What is the passage on which Rev. Pio spoke, the one he said was the greatest passage in the entire Bible.

Jesus At the Movies

As Easter approaches, we will be taking a different approach to Bible study. We will examine some of the more interesting movies about Jesus, particularly focusing on his last days.
We will be starting off with Jesus Christ Superstar. Future movies are up in the air, so let Josh know if you have recommendations.

Ps. "Jesus at the Movies" is probably trademarked or whatever since it is the name of a book by W. Barnes Tatum. Sorry for plagiarizing...

March Mission Madness

March is on the way and from what I hear one of the highlights is the Mission Madness. Check out the official web site for more details. The total cost is $70 and a $35 deposit is due by Febuary 18.

This Sunday

Good news yall, this Sunday will be our first Sunday meeting with just the youth during the evening service time. This year we will be having youth worship time, but we will start off with some good old fashioned fellowship to welcome in the new year. Snacks will be provided.

The Low Down

Well it has finally arrived. We are going to be out of town singing all weekend (not me of course, I'll just be chill'n). If you aren't in choir things may be a little quiet this Sunday.

Next Sunday (Jan 21'st) we will have our first Sunday night youth gathering from 6:00-7:00. Usually this will be a time for youth worship using where we sing modern worship songs (or old ones with a modern twist) and have creative and experiential (as in you experience it) worship. Last year for the Psalms this involved writing our own psalms. This year... well I guess you'll just have to come to find out. The 21'st though will NOT be a worship time. Instead it will be a fellowship time as we kick off the New Year. Refreshments will be provided.

Finally, the SKI TRIP DEADLINE is fast approaching. Get your $100 deposit turned in by January 15 (which is real soon) if you hope to go on the trip. The total cost is $300. The trip is Feb 16-18 in Winterplace.

Youth Council

At our meeting last night we decided to kick it into high gear in 2007. We will be meeting every other Wednesday from 7:15-7:45. As usual this may include helping plan youth events and a devotional. It will also be a time to spend reaching out to youth in our church. This could include making cards, making phone calls, sending emails or myspace messages, editing the blog etc. If you are not on the Youth Council you can still show up to help out with this.

The praise band will still meet for practice durring this time.

Shopping in the ATL

Is Your Tree Looking Bare?
Add some presents to it by going shopping in Atlanta this Monday (Dec 18). We will meet at the church at 9:00 in the morning and be back by 9:00 that night. If you can't shop that long join me and Billy for a little Monopoly.
