Monday August 29

Wasn't yesterday an inspiring day? I thought our elders did an excellent job of challenging us and encouraging us to be all that God expects of us. We can love God, love others and live Christ. I am praying that Illini for Christ will catch this vision and that God will transform us as we strive to serve Him. This week we have dinner and study on Wednesday beginning at 6pm. At 7:30 we are going to find out what dictator, Tom Stone has in mind for us this week. I will be on campus on Thursday from 8:30 until 2 or 3:30. Right now I have three people that I am meeting and studying with. Do you want some time with me this week? Send me an e-mail and let me know what time works for you. This weekend is Labor Day weekend. Many of our students have told us that they will be out of town. Randy is going to start our college class at 9am on Sunday. My family is going to Springfield to hear my son preach and to celebrate my birthday. I was born in 1955...you do the math. :) I don't think it was on "labor" day. I don't even know if Labor Day has been around that long. Have a blessed week and join us for dinner and our studies.

Move in day is Thursday. Is anyone available to help some of our new students move in? Illini for Christ has a busy couple of weeks. Sunday, August 22 is quad day. Wednesday, August 25 we have dinner at the church building at 6pm. We will have a discussion about our fall semester after dinner. We'll be done at 7:30. Friday, August 27, Sam and Angie are going to feed us and show us a good time at their home. We will start at 6 and go until whenever. Sunday, August 29, we want everyone at the church building at 9am. Our four elders are going to be casting a vision for the future of the Philo Road Church of Christ. Following their presentation we will have a welcome back potluck for our students. If you like food...you are part of the right ministry. :) We will be transformed as we spend time together during the 2010 - 2011 school year. Looking forward to some good quality time together.

August 2010

Hey, it's August and we are ready for a new semester...well, getting ready might be a better way of putting it. :) Students return to campus the weekend of the 21st. Quad Day is Sunday, August 22. If we survive the Great Give-away on Saturday, August 21 we might visit the quad on Sunday. Wednesday night, August 25 will be a planning session for students who choose to come and eat at the church building at 6pm. Sam and Angie are welcoming everyone back to town on Friday, August 27 at their home. Sunday, August 29 is a big day at the Philo Road Church of Christ. You don't want to miss this! There will be a welcome back student potluck, with homemade ice cream. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting some new people. We are going to be transformed this year as we study, pray and seek God's best for one another.
