Reminder and IMPORTANT note!

Just wanted to remind for tomorrow night and to let you know about something we are doing. I'm guessing you all have been getting E-mails about the upcoming Homeless Outreach Fair that some of our classmates are putting together. Our Christian Fellowship was specifically asked to participate in this outreach, and since part of our calling is to contribute to needy, we were thinking of doing a mini-offering-like thing at tomorrow's meeting. If you are interested in giving to this cause, please bring your spare change or a couple of dollars to contribute. All the money will be put to buying the supplies needed to give out in hygiene baggies to homeless people in Rochester.

Ok, now on to the quick facts...

WHAT: Bible Study of First Corinthian
WHEN: Wedensday, October 7 at 7:00
WHERE: Robin and Melissa's House, 67 Southview Terrace
WHAT TO BRING: Bibles and any money you'd like to contribute to Homeless Fair

Blessings,
Boahema, Mary and Robin

This Week's Bible Study

Hello Friends!

First and foremost... to our fabulous first years: CONGRATS!!!! You have now finished (and probably did fabulous on) your first HSF Test! Just goes to show that prayer does work :)

OK, now on to the less important business. We just wanted to pass on the facts about this week's Bible Study and some other updates. This week's Bible Study will be this Wednesday, 10/7, at 7:00 at Robin and Melissa's house on 67 Southview Terrace (two streets down from the intersection of Elmwood and Mt Hope). There is parking if you choose to drive. We will be continuing our journey together through First Corinthians.

Also, you may recall that we had started to plan our fall retreat for this upcoming weekend at Mary's lake house. Due to some family things going on, we aren't able to do it this weekend as planned. We hope that this enough warning for you second years to plan a weekend vacation if you haven't already to celebrate the ending of MBB. We'll keep you posted on ideas for the rest of the fall.

Finally, a reminder about next Saturday, October 17 and the Christian Physician's Breakfast. We'll bring this up again on Wednesday, but Susan needs RSVPs if anyone wants to attend and learn about "dealing with the difficult medical climate and stress with Christian faith".

OK, this email is definitely long enough. God bless everyone!
