Each team will be assigned the task of coming up with a more supercalafragralisticexpialadoshus appetizer, main course, and desert than the other group. The following is a list of ingredients that will be provided for the epic battle: pasta, tomatoes, sugar, ground beef, sausage, cheddar cheese, sweet potatoes, brown sugar, lettuce, eggs, white bread, corn, flour, and strawberries. Bring your own spices. There will be a secret ingredient that MUST be added to each course. Ill give you a hint. It starts with a p.

Hi Friends,
Join us tomorrow night as we kick off the lenten season. We’ll leave Bethel at 5:30 pm to grab some dinner at Fresh Choice ($10) and then will be back for the Ash Wednesday service at 7pm. Lent is so often overlooked by many Christians. It is a great season of introspection to look at our humanness and need for God. Come join us!

Greetings from Oxford, Alabama. I’m on my way to the National Youthworker Extravaganza to be with 400 others who think youth are the life blood of the church. I know I feel blessed that I get to be a part of all of your lives. Thanks!

While I’m gone, Kristen, Lindsay, Paige, and Matty are going the extra mile to make sure things move on in the right direction. These are a busy two weeks with Common Ground starting next Monday (Feb 8th), Winter Retreat sign ups, Superbowl Pizza distribution, and tonight’s Fellowship outing to make Care Packages for our College Freshmen who are away.

So, meet at Bethel tonight (Feb 3rd) at 5:30pm to head out to dinner ($10) and to buy the stuff for the care packages. Come and show the love!

Tom
