Sundy Skool Emergency

Y'all,

It recently (5 hours ago) came to my attention that I will not be able to be at church tomorrow morning.  Furthermore, both the beloved Shirley and the beloved Larry are out of town.  I frantically searched out replacements, but then struck upon a pretty good idea (okay, it wasn't my idea, but it works).  all Jr. and Sr. High students will attend the adult Bible study instead.

It takes place at the same time, so all you need to do is meander on over.  They may even have donuts; anything's possible.  We're still on for tomorrow evening, and I am so sorry for the last, last minute rescheduling. Hang with the adults, and we'll all critique them when they aren't around.

Happy Halloween.  Remember to put reflective tape on your costumes.

Dave out.

Jericho and You

Y'all

I posted the script for tomorrow in the "Downloads" section to the left.  (For Tempest, who said she couldn't find it last time: its in the column directly to the left and then all the way to the bottom, under Downloads.)  Both links are the same document, but one is a MS Word document, and the other is a PDF file.  One of the two should work, no matter what kind of computer you have.  Further downloading instructions are available under the Post from October 3rd, or shoot me an email.

Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to cancel Youth Group for tomorrow night, since I'm still in the library buried in work.  Buy stock in Mountain Dew, because I am singlehandedly bringing PepsiCo out of this recession.

Also, here is a picture of a rabbit with a pancake on its head.

Picture-I-Find-Amusing of the Week!


Y'all,

I need to know who (whom?) will be at Sunday Skool this week.  We have Junior Worship, so we'll be setting up a little something for the young 'uns.

We're doing the story about the Walls of Jericho, which were the fourth most famous walls, after the Chinese one, the one in Berlin, and the your FaceBook page.  Long story short: drink some coffee that morning and bring your A game.  Your B+ game at the very least.

Also, we MIGHT NOT be having Youth Group this Sunday evening.  I've spent the last fifty hours piecing together a very exciting paper on "testamentary capacity, per the disposition of real property" (i.e."how crazy is too crazy to give stuff away?") but I might not be working fast enough.  I will let you know 2moro. See: I don't even have time to spell out whole words.

Ok, recapping: who's coming on Sunday, famous walls of Jericho, and crazy people can give their fortunes to Clem, the pet hedgehog.

For Tomorrow Morning!

Y'all,

For tomorrow morning, you're gonna need to download some things.  Here's how to do it. (Maybe make your kid do the rest of this)

1. Look on the left-hand side of this page, at the bottom of that column.
2. Under the "Downloads" section you will see 3 links.  Click on them; they will take you to a site called Media Fire.
3. On the left side of the MediaFire page is a link that says "Click Here To Start Download".  Click that, and save the file to your desktop.

2 of the files are songs (mp3).  You may want to right-click these and open them using iTunes.  Legally speaking, you should delete these songs in the near future, or send the song writers a dollar.  And that's it.  Contact me with any questions you've got.
