Are you wishing someone was home for the holidays? Ding.

Ok Creekers & Peeps…I just realized that I have one Southwest award coupon for one free roundtrip flight that is about to expire next week(Dec. 5th) & I would hate to see it go to waste. So…I’m giving it away…no strings.

Here’s the deal…the flight needs to be completed by Dec. 5th. So, I was thinking that maybe there is someone that wants to visit someone for Thanksgiving or get someone home for Thanksgiving. Maybe a college student…maybe a relative…maybe a close friend. 

If this works for you or a loved one… Email me. Make sure that you check Southwest.com for departure cities/destinations. I’ll update the post when the ticket is gone

UPDATE: THE FREE FLIGHT HAS BEEN CLAIMED…SORRY!

Turkeys, spoons, and depression?

It’s been a while since my last post. Honestly, it’s been a nice break! I’d thought I’d bring you up to speed on random thoughts that are swirling around this ol’ head of mine.

• I’m pumped up about this coming Sunday morning. We will be packing 200 meals and delivering them to struggling families in our community. There is something special that happens when the church unites and serves together. A special thanks to our partners - Homefront Christian Outreach & Chester County Cares. 
• I continue to be amazed at the sacrifice & commitment of our people. In spite of the economy, people are giving & sacrificing! Praise God for the $3,000+ that came in for Unite. 
• I’m working on our next two sermon series right now. The next sermon series is called “Cradle to the Cross”. It’s a series that I’m working on with Jon Damon and Dan O’Deens. We met for several hours to hammer out the title, the theme, and the overall direction for the series. Each of us then took one of the three weeks and put together an outline that all of us will help put the final touches on. The final product is a collaborative effort that Elk Creek Church and Gateway Church will use at the same time.
• I’m also working on a 4 week sermon series that will begin on January 4th. I’m still working on the title, but it is going to be about a topic that tons of people deal with and few churches talk about. It is going to be about Depression and her twin sister…Anxiety. Please feel free to comment or email me specific questions that you would like to have answered during this series regarding this issue. 
• I’m excited about reading through the Bible again in 2009. Several people have committed to it already…you can read about it here.
• Just 44 days until 2009…can you believe it? I am so pumped up about what God is going to do in 2009! 
• I’m thinking that I need to get my fellow “spoonites” together for a massive game of holiday spoons…stay tuned
