Hello all folks of Common Ground.

As you all know, this Friday, May 24th, is the Common Ground work weekend. It will begin at 7:15 and we will spend the night at Bethel. The even will wrap up around 4 PM the following Saturday. Bring $25 to cover fees for the weekend. The Bethel bus will voyage over to Safeway and gather food supplies for the night and this fee will cover that and then some.

Starting on Wednesday May 31st, every Wednesday will be a common ground practice. Times are to be determined so we will get back on that.

As most of you know, Monday the 27th is Memorial Day. Normally, there is no Common Ground practice. However, if we do not do a good enough job over the weekend, we will have practice that night. This is just extra incentive for us to work even harder on Friday and Saturday so we can enjoy a day off. It will take a collective group effort to stay home that day, so let’s work together to achieve that goal for everybody.

Tour is coming up, so no slacking and let’s get stuff done.

Signed,

Jonathan, Josh, and Amber

Hello Friends.

We are encountering the month of May. That means lots of things. Common Ground is heating up and I will be out of high school by the end of the month. No longer will I be an EVHS Cougar and I will be a San Francisco State University Gator. So modest, I know.

May also means lots of fun events.

On Wednesday, May 15th, we will go to dinner at 5;30 at A Slice of New York Pizza and then return to Bethel and watch a video of Shane Claibourne at New Orleans and have a discussion on it. The following Wednesday, May 22nd, we will meet at 5:30 and have a BBQ and serve food to the homeless at Stelling. Last, but DEFINITELY not least, every Wednesday from May 29th through the day we leave for tour will be a 7:15 Common Ground practice.

Let’s not forget about Sundays!

On Sunday, May 12th, we will help all of you people who forgot about Mother’s day and allow you to make her a card and whatnot. I didn’t forget and I hope you didn’t either. On the next Sunday, May 19th, we will honor the seniors and serve them the annual senior brunch. I’m looking forward to my good food. Did you notice how those words differ by only a letter but have completely different pronunciation? Mind blowing, I know. On May 26th there is no Sunday School. Sorry to end this part on a low note.

We want you all here for this. PLEASE bring yourself and BRING IT (see what I did there?)

Signing off.

Jonathan, Josh, and Amber

Hi Common Grounders and Parents,

Here is the Announcement Sheet for tonight.  Please note that next Saturday, May 11th we’ll have our Annual CG Car Wash.  We can use all of your help.  Please bring towels and a smile :-)  (Note all CG’ers will get credit for the time they work and the hope is that parents will lend a hand for fun).  Any questions, please email me at to----@------.net or call me on my cell at 408-309-9975.

Peace, Tom

Hi Common Grounders and Parents of the same!

I’ve attached the pdf of tonight’s Announcement Sheet for you all to check out and commit to memory ;-)  Seriously, there is a lot going on and we need everyone to help out.  For specifics, we need parents to help serve food at the Art Fare on May 5th as well as the Car Wash on May 11th.  Please let me know if you can pitch in :-)

Peace to you, Tom

Hi Friends,

Welcome back to all who attended the Mission to Mexico Trip.  What a fantastic experience!  As a follow up, we’ll gather tomorrow morning at 9:30am (Sunday School Time) to chat about the trip and to plan our participation in the May 5th worship service.

Then, after the 10:30 worship we’ll head to Calabasas Creek for an hour or so of clean up.  Bring work shoes and gloves that you can get dirty :-)

Common Ground:  We’re back in the CG saddle this coming Monday night at 7:15pm.  See ya there :-)

Wednesday, April 24th:  We’ll travel out for dinner and then make it back to Bethel to hear Randy Shattuk talk to us and show us his documentary movie about Human Trafficking.  Should be a powerful night.

Questions, call me on my cell at 408-309-9975.

Peace, Tom
