Car Washes and Sixty.


That's right, 60. Actually, 66 if you count the adults. That's how many people squeezed themselves into that room last night. I'm actually pretty impressed.


I hope you all enjoyed Giveaway Wednesday. Judging by what was left over, it looks like you did. Stay tuned because we might just have another Giveaway Day coming up soon.




But hey, as usual, we did forget something: We forgot to give you all the info on the car wash. So don't forget that the car wash will be this Saturday. We'll meet at the Del Taco on Magnolia & LaPalma at 9am and wash wars until about 2. See you then!!!!

GIVEAWAY WEDNESDAY

So for those of you who don't know, my brother (Alyson writing here) is the director of skateboard marketing for DC. He's worked in the skateboard industry for as long as I can remember...which is awesome for me because he likes to pass down free stuff. (Here's a tip for those of you thinking about what you want to do "when you grow up". If you go into marketing, you get a lot of free stuff). For my brother, that free stuff has translated into about a million t-shirts, shoes, and cds. Which is also great for you, because when he gets sick of it or realizes that he has more t-shirts than he could ever possibly wear in his lifetime, it gets passed on to us. This weekend, he brought down an entire car full of shoes, clothing (even some girls stuff!) a few hundred cds and some other random stuff. So in honor of my brother, this Wednesday will be Giveway Wednesday. We're giving away all kinds of stuff. But if you want first pick, here's what you need to know: Everyone who brings a friend who's never visited with us before will get to pick first. 3 items per friend you bring, and you'll get to choose in the order you sign in. ALSO, anyone who has volunteered in the office or the snackbar will get to choose before even those people -2 items per person. So if you volunteered AND you bring a friend, you might just get a whole bunch of free stuff this week. Think about it this way. You get some free stuff and your friends get the chance to hear about the greatest free gift of all: eternal life through Christ. Its a win-WIN. See you Wednesday....

Welcome to Our Blog!

Hey guys, so here it is. Our blog. We're totally taking that dive into the 21st century. Maybe by the year 2020 we might have a podcast or something. Yeah, we're a little behind the times I guess....
So...
how was last night huh?? I'd just like to take a moment to thank Jess and Chris for working with the little kids in Awana last night - and just in time really. We had a good turnout last night and it was nice to not have to chase the little guy around :) It was great to see everyone last night - and to see some new faces (and the return of some old ones too). Anyway, so as you know, Friday night is the big night you've all been waiting for. Lock in night. WooHoo. Oh, and with all the candy wrappers you all have stuffed in the couches, we've developed quite a bug problem. I hope you don't sleep with your mouth open.....
Make sure you check back tomorrow for our latest post!
