New Garage Sale Details

As you know, we have the garage sale on Saturday the 31st of January from 8 AM to 1 PM.

Jeannita needs help on Saturday, but will also need help setting up Wednesday through Friday (6-7 PM) when we'll be receiving what you bring. You can either do 30 minute slots , 1 hr slots or as much as you can. We'll also need some help in breaking down and getting whatever doesn't sell to donation centers.

Please let her know what time and days you can help (email her here or leave a message in the comments), then she'lll send out an email with a schedule.

If you can’t get your donations there until Saturday, please let us know.

Be praying that our $1000.00 will come in for the children’s ministry and other outreaches we're stepping into.

Lastly, get the word out! Invite friends, coworkers, or whoever and get involved in the helping! Thank you for being such a wonderful church family.

Church Garage Sale

Just throwing out a few details, but everyone should get an email from Jeannita about all this and how you can get involved, what is needed, etc.

First, I have a flyer that you can print and any help you can give by placing them around town would be much appreciated (click here for the flyer). I'll also have some on Sunday that you can take and put up so if you can't print one, no problem.

The garage sale is Saturday, 1/31 from 8 -1 PM. We'll be taking donations either Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday night from 6-7 PM. If there's absolutely no way for you to get something to the church, leave us a comment here or talk to Jeannita.

Be praying that this goes extremely well so that we can really advance in our children's ministry (which is where the funds will go).

Thanks again and like I said, this is to put it on your radar again but you should be getting an email soon with more.

Daymond's Birthday Party

Hello! Jenny asked me to pass along this invite to all our church family so here it is,

Everyone is invited to come help the Geary Family celebrate Daymond’s 51st birthday

At Our Back Yard, Friday, January 16 from 5:00PM – 7:00PM.

Bring a snack to share and some table games to play. While the kids run and play on the fabulous toys, the adults and whoever wants will play table games, catch up on old news, and have a great fellowship time surrounded by food, laughs and friends.

We sure hope to see you this Friday for a fantastic party!

Prayer for Daymond -11/13/08

Some may have received an email last night as Jenny fired a very quick one to whoever she could get in the "to" line, but Daymond was taken to the ER yesterday as they were concerned about his heart. They gave him a prescription for what they saw, but today he is heading back because of some chest pains.

• Please pray for divine healing in Daymond's body and strength for his heart
• Pray for wisdom for the doctors seeing him
• Also pray for great peace and strength for Jenny

Thank you all for your faith and standing--Blessings to you. I will keep you updated here with anything I find out.

Update: Daymond is going home and his heart is pumping at 65% which is a vast improvement from his ER visit from a while ago. There is no congestive heart failure. Doctors don't know why everything looks so good, but God is great! Thank you for praying!

A Movie You Should Know about -11/10/08

I forgot to add this last week, but there is a movie called, Fireproof, that has come to Juneau as of last Friday. I actually added a link to a story about it a couple of weeks ago, and it is truly remarkable.

The movie was made by the same people who did Facing the Giants and they see this as their ministry. So far it's being very effective and touching a lot of lives so I wanted to let you know this was here because it's certainly good to support art that stands up for marriage and faith. Besides all that, I hear it's just a great movie so you should enjoy it!

Here's a link to the movie website and you can find out more and even watch the trailer. If you want to check out local times, check the theater schedule here. Thanks to Tracy for making sure churches around town had all the information!

If you've seen the movie already, leave a note in the comments about what you thought.

Don't Forget to Vote!

Tomorrow is election day so don't forget to vote and please don't forget to pray for these elections. These are important times and we need to make our decisions prayerfully, lifting up our nation in prayer as well.

As responsible Christians, we participate in the process and believe God for blessings and righteousness. So whoever you're voting for, get out there tomorrow (or early by absentee) and vote!
