Builders Kickoff Lunch

On Sunday, January 22 plan on coming to your J-Term class, second service, and then sticking around for a quick lunch with the Builders. All the food and drinks will be provided. Just show up to catch up with friends you haven't seen in awhile (fellowship), meet some new friends (welcoming), and learn more about what is planned for the next few months. Kids are welcome (we'll keep it short and there will be food!)

This lunch is also a great time for you to invite someone you know that isn't involved with an ABF class to come check out the Builders.

What: Builders Kickoff Lunch
When: Sunday, January 22 after 2nd Service
Where: The Builders classroom (upstairs, follow the smell of food)

Builders in 2012 - Part 2 - We Care

A natural outpouring of the fellowship that we as a Builders class are called to have by God is caring for each other. The care we provide to one another is our demonstration of what we teach and believe.

In the Builders class care often occurs in the form of food. It could be taking meals to someone after they have a baby or have been sick. As someone that has received meals from you all before, I will admit that the food itself is nice and very tasty! It really is a relief, more than I expected, to not have to plan and prepare a meal when something big has happened.

But more than the food, I was overwhelmed with the generosity of so many people willing to help us out. Some of those people we had known for years but some we had only met a few times (but have since gone on to know much better).

Sheryl Hodson coordinates the "big" care opportunities for our class. But often much of the care just happens without anyone knowing because as we are all involved in each others lives care doesn't have to be coordinated, it just happens.
