Announcements - December

Class Christmas Party:
Dec. 1, 12:00 in the Fellowship Hall. We are having it catered by Whole Hog, and will be about $15/family. We are still working on getting it lower, but for right now that is what we need to plan on. Also, if you could bring your money no later than the 11/26, that would be great. Also, you will need to bring 1 white elephant gift per adult. I will have a sign up sheet on Sunday to see who will be attending the party, so that we can give Whole Hog a head count.

Christmas Caroling:
We have moved caroling to Tues., Dec 11th instead of that Monday.

Silver Dollar City:
We are planning on going to Silver Dollar City on Sat., Dec 15th. We will meet at the church at 10:00 AM.

New Years Eve Party:
We are going to have a New Years Eve party again this year at the Middletons. There will be more information to come on this.

Prayer Requests - 11.11.07

Bennetts: Continue to pray for Lindsey. Pray that her spinal tap comes up clear and that she remains in remission. Also, Desiree is taking 11 students (3rd-8th graders) to LR on Friday for the area ACSI Spelling Bee. Pray for safety as they will be in a bad part of LR.

Wolffs: Pray for Ryanne as she is having surgery on the 20th. Pray for a quick recovery.

Flynts: Misty has a friend who delivered her twins at 24-25 wks. They are in LR right now, and the babies weigh around 1 lb. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. They will have a long road in LR with these babies.

Readers: Salvation for families, direction of our nation, and opportunities to reach the lost.

Rushings: Lindsay Rushing (sister-in-law) had a pre-term birth (34 wks) - c-section. Pray for quick recovery and health of new baby (Amy). Also, Phyllis Rushing needs prayer for a friend at work, Barbara Rogers who is having surgery.

Streckers: Salvation of family. Andrea has a family member going through divorce. Heartbreaking situation, and there are children involved.

Part-Time Assistant Needed

It would be part-time (for now) on a contract basis, and would involve about 10 hours per week. This is something that would require some driving in the area, but mostly he or she could do from home.

I need someone to help me with the following:

1.) Workshops - secure quality locations, make packets for attendees, run the sign-in table, greet people as they come in, and stick around to schedule appointments. There is about 1 of these per week.
2.) Create “welcome aboard” packages for new clients (I have examples to use as a template, and all materials are ready-to-print), and order gift baskets to be delivered to their work/home (again, I have contacts for this).
3.) Marketing
a. Once workshop locations are secured, follow-up with my newspaper reps to ensure all ads for workshops are being run properly and in a timely fashion.
b. Enter workshop attendee info into Excel spreadsheet for follow-up and statistical tracking after each workshop.

Please have them contact me at my office if they’re interested.

Thanks,

Brent (479.286.1130 office)
