Agape Class

News from Scott

Hey - wanted to say thanks to all who volunteered for Fall Festival, especially Hollis and Katherine - every year the attendance seems to get bigger (and I am sure the work gets bigger too).
 
I have scheduled the meeting with Linda Roby for this Wed (10/28) at 5pm.
 
This Sunday (11/1 - Daylight Savings), we move on to the Second Rule - "Do Good" - you'll want to do good the day after Halloween and you can sleep an hour later - right, Joe ?

I like to add one more thing: Next month is our turn to host potluck at our home. Given holidays are quickly approaching the only weekend we are in town is 11/7. We wanted to see if this weekend was okay with the majority otherwise we can be one of the first families to go next year since the Rainwaters have December.

a note from Hollis about Children's Council

As promised, I am sending out information about the
Children's Council at FUMC.  Anyone is welcome to come
to the meetings, and I think it would be great for the
Agape Class to start getting involved in helping with
children's activities at the church (since we seem to
be adding many babies to our crew).  Here is an
example of the children's ministry events the
Children's Council helps to plan:

Infant Recognition
Egg Hunt and Picnic
Camp Big Church
Vacation Bible School
Fall Festival
Hanging of the Greens
Children at the Manger

The meetings are generally held the last Tuesday of
the month at 5:30 PM in the Crossroads room (adjacent
to the art gallery area).  Dinner and childcare are
provided.  The meetings usually last about an hour and
a half (varies depending on the programming).
Meetings are led by Gretchen Combs and usually involve
children's program planning and a speaker relevant to
the children's ministry at FUMC.  Here are the meeting
dates for the rest of the year:

Tuesday, September 25
Tuesday, October 30
Tuesday, November 27
Tuesday, December 11

Please feel free to contact me with any questions at
hollisandbrian@sbcglobal.net.  Take care, and hope to
see you at the next meeting.
