May 9th Announcements

There is something funny about all of our announcements this week; they have all changed since being announced in class yesterday morning!  Really, it's pretty funny and makes me laugh as I type out this post.  Here are our new and improved announcements for this week.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1.  This Friday night, May 13th from 6-9 p.m., the class social has been moved to HAFBC!  Come listen to testimony from International Cooperating Ministries about their mission to nurture believers and assist church growth worldwide.  There will be worship, music, testimony, fellowship and food.  If you need childcare and didn't sign up in class then send an email to bsandoval@hafbc.com.

2.  The Putt-Putt social has been cancelled because of the missions event at HAFBC that everyone wants to attend, so it will be rescheduled.

3.  Humble2Humble Missions Project - Alex & Kristen are coordinating a local missions project for our lifegroup to do together this summer.  We will not be taking part in the official H2H this Saturday because there wasn't enough time to coordinate it and get enough folks to participate.

4.  Real Discipleship Training WILL NOT begin this Wednesday night.  The dates on the training have been revised and we do not have to begin it this week to finish on time.  Dustin will be sending out details about the start date.  For now, please purchase the book from HAFBC for $15 and begin the daily study on your own.  If you need help purchasing the book then please email Dustin at dchilders@newtecheng.com.  We want as many participants as possible and don't want the cost to impede anyone.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1.  Josh & Christine F. welcomed their daughter, Brielle, last Thursday night!  Congratulations friends!

2.  Elise requested prayer for her sister and brother-in-law.  They have moved to NY and are looking for a church home.  Her sister and BIL are also having some marital problems.

3.  Dustin requested prayer for his brother.

4.  Drew requested prayer for his brother who just graduated from Texas A&M and is looking for his first post-college job.
