Prayer Request

Nicole - Please pray for a student of mine. Her grandmother is in the hospital, hasn't been eating for a few days, and is basically dying. The family has to travel out of state to see the grandmother.

Also, my parents are looking for a new house again.

Thanks!

Spring has sprung! Mark your calendars!

Well guys Spring is officially here, and with it a few things come to mind: warmer weather, blooming flowers, and good old baseball.

I know that schedules are very busy, but I would like to take a moment to make aware of some up coming events.
The one upcoming events is a trip into DC to see the Cherry Blossoms some historical landmarks (i.e. the Iwo Jima monument, Pentagon Memorial, and the DC Tidal Basin) on the afternoon of 4 April 2008. To allow people to still be apart of the building workday, we will leave from the church convoy style, at 1pm. to headed to the Springfield Metro.
The cost will be $8.00 for the metro ticket and whatever you spend on food.

If you plan on attending please let me know by the 3 April. Also should there be any bad weather the trip will be canceled.

Another date to set aside is Friday June 5, 2008. At 7pm that evening we will be attending a Nats and Mets baseball game. The availability of tickets be limited, but I will give you information concerning price and transportation, in the near future.

Keep my family in your prayers as my Grandfather went to be with the Lord Friday morning.
