Small Group This Weekend?

Hey! Brian and I were wondering if we/anyone had followed up on small group this weekend. I know that The Browns and Craig are supposed to be oput of town, but since we missed last time, we thought it might be called off because of the holiday. Let us know~ We will be in town.

Road Trip

To all who said they were available for the weekend of July 14th - 16th for our trip to Hardy (plus the Hills and the Nelsons, if you can come), we are definitely on for that weekend.

Trish asked me to remind everyone that it will be HOT, and we'll be outside the whole time. In order to be prepared, we need to bring portable fans and coolers. Also, since Hardy is in a "dry" county, adult beverages will need to be purchased in Memphis prior to the trip.

We'll post more details as the date grows near.

Good morning Carl

Yea, it is a good morning there little man.....IT'S 3 IN THE MORNING! Look, all I knows is I found this cord plugged into my house and your house is glowing like the FREEKEN' SUN! So I put two and two together there and decided that your pissin me off.

Congrats

Jack and Melissa, that is awesome news to hear!!! We need some boys around all these girls. Also, congrats on the new house. Sorry we have missed everyone so much. We will be out of town next week for our family vacation so we will talk to everyone when we get back.

It's a BOY!!

That's right guys, Jack and I are having a baby boy! The best part is that he is healthy and developing normally, which of course is always a main concern for me. We are thrilled and are already picking out blue paint colors for the nursery!!! so much for me being practical and painting a gender neutral room, its blue everywhere!!! Please continue to pray that our little buddy continues to grow and get ready for his debut in November.

Hardy Weekend

Based on all of the responses I received, the weekend that works best for most of the group is July 15th and 16th. Mark your calendars!!

tonight

It is byob and byom(eat) if you don't want a hot dog. Who is coming?

VBS and GO Fish!

Just a reminder that next week is VBS. It is a huge undertaking for Emily and she is doing a great job bringing it all together. Pray for her health and sanity for the next week or so. Also, don't forget to buy tickets for the concert on Thursday night. The group is called GO Fish. This is another one of those things on Emily's shoulders this week, so we need to all step up and buy tickets(and go, of course)

small group this week-end

It seems like last time we met, we decided to get together on Friday instead of Sunday. I offered to have it at our house. It would be very low-key. We could fire up the grill and just hang out. Game night is always fun, too. If that works with everyone, please send a response or a better idea. We just have to leave the house clean at the end of the night!!

Big News

Hey everyone,

just wanted to share great news and prayer request. Jack and I are buying a house!!! It is in Collierville in an older neighborhood off Shelton Road. We are under contract and have inspection on Friday and close on June 30th. Please pray for smooth sailing on the buying end also we are breaking our lease with the apartment complex and have a few dog damages so please pray that we do not have to go into debt to get out of the apartment. Have a great week!

TRIP

Ok guys,

There have been a couple of weeks mentioned for the trip to Hardy in July. Nothing is set in stone yet. As I said before, the ONLY times that WON"T work are this weekend, next weekend (Father's Day), and the July 4th holiday weekend. Besides that, it's OPEN!!! Anytime! Please post or email with the weekends that will and won't work for your family. We can plan a time that is good for the majority of couples. And, until August, Josh and I can always go up there early (Thur??) to accomodate those that need to come early and leave before Sunday. Let us know!!

Trish

Fun with scissors

Are will still on for arts and crafts tomorrow (Sat) morning?

Trip to Hardy

Well, if the weekend is July 15-16, The female Yates is definitely out. Still discussing the male. I have been on a committee planning the high school reunion and it happens to fall that weekend. The gear is still available, though, if anyone might need it. Let us know~

Out of touch

Hey guys,
Brent and I wanted to apologize for being out of touch this week. Things have been a bit crazy, we have been in and out of town since last weekend. Angie and William, we are glad to hear that things are going better and we will continue to pray for William to recover quickly and for Angie and the kids as well. Brent is back out of town today to Nashville for a meeting tomorrow morning so we are sorry that we missed small group today. We would love to see everyone, hopefully we can get together maybe this coming weekend. Hope everyone has a great week and we will see everyone soon (hopefully).
Brent and Betsy

Thank you everyone!

I can't believe how awesome the house looks! We apprecialte all you did yesterday to help us get ready for the open house. There is no way we would have been able to do it on our own. Thanks for the prayer and concern, and meals and childcare...I could go on and on. It has meant so much to know that we have such great friends that will just jump in where needed. God has truly blessed us! William is feeling better. He made it through the night with no pain meds!

William's Surgery

Okay guys, new prayer request. William is to have surgery on his hand tomorrow, Friday morning. He might be a tad nervous about it too, so please keep him and the family in your prayers throughout the day and next week. Also, Trish is keeping the kids tomorrow, so throw an extra shout out for the kids' patience as well as Trish's! Hope to see you guys on Saturday morning :)

Here's the scoop for Saturday...

small group slackers Norma is going to follow me to Angie's house on Saturday to clean. We are just going to pay her $80 for the day...Mel and Jack said they'd help too.
The rest of us can just come and help do anything that needs to be done. I'll try to have her there by 10.
See you guys then!
