College CARE packages - because we care...

This Sunday, we will be putting together little boxes of love for our friends/siblings/members who are in college.  Some are far away, some are across the bridge, but all of them are in a different environment.  And who doesn't love treats??

So, high school people --- come to deep thoughts at 9 am... and help put these boxes together! We have drink mixes, snacks, candy, emergen-c and motrin...plus whatever great baked goods people bring in!

Feel free to write a little note to a friend and add it in...who's getting treats?? Annika, Caitlin, Cosmo, Brita, Becky, Casey, Kelly, Emily, Josh, Ben, Cameron, Angela, Liz, Michael, Matt, Ian and Rachel.

Friday Night Lights - Homecoming 2010

You know what's great about being in a small community? Being in a small community!! 
Homecoming - Mercer Island style - is the perfect community event.
Band ~ you rock!! I can't believe 290 of you can march as one.
Cheer and drill ~ amazing!
Floats ~ very clever (although I do suspect there was a lot of parent assistance :)
Community - way to come out and support!!

I'm looking forward to the dance pix - but the assembly, parade and game were great (if only MIHS had won...)
Go, MI!

Confirmation 'HomeWork'

Confirmation students ... you have homework this week!!  Ya know, we've been talking about how the church started out (with Jesus...) and how it's grown and changed...how different denominations came to be...and what churches are on Mercer Island -- maybe your friends go to one of them. So, you get to chat with your friends about that!! Here's the homework:

Talk to 3 friends this week, ASK:

*Are you part of a faith community?

*What is your favorite part of that faith community?

1.Worship

2.Mission

3.Social opportunities

If you’re not part of a faith community, are you curious about mine?

Sending the answers to these questions to me in email or on paper next week gets you 2 sermon note points …

So, I hope some of you do this --- it will be interesting! k

Sunday 10/10/10

This has been a cool century so far ... you have all lived the past 10 years with 'special days' that can only happen once - a -century.  Like this Sunday - 10/10/10.

Kinda cool, huh?

So, what makes a day 'special' - the number? The work? The rest? The people that are part of it?

You decide -- that's my 'deep thought' for today. k
