Good afternoon! Please see the following for class announcements on Missions, Logistics and Hospitality:
MISSIONS:
Please see the attachment concerning the Missions Schedule next week - there are several ways to get involved!
Dale and Linda Cutlip of GlobeWorks International Ministries will be our speakers this Sunday in class, please refer to the attached bio to learn more about them and their ministry. Let's give them a warm welcome this week!
From Jocelyn Martin about KIDMissions:
The children's ministry is needing some help with a few volunteers during Mission Week coming up at the end of February. In years past, people have volunteered to stay & help with crowd control, however, that number gets smaller every year – down to 1 dad last year. We are in need of 3 couples on Sunday, Monday & Wednesday night so I was hoping that each of your Adult SS classes could take a night. We just need some extra hands for crowd control from 630 – 730 PM. FOUNDATIONS has been asked to cover Monday night, 2/27 in room C316. We need three couples from our class to cover this shift. Please email Cary at cmurray1228@gmail.com if you can do this.
Foundations Missionary Dessert:
Roddy and Katherine Taylor, our class Missions Coordinators, will open up their home on Tuesday, February 28th at 6:30 p.m. for our class to meet and have dessert with two guest missionaries, Tim and Theresa Simpson (East West Ministries - Middle East/Russia) and John and Samantha Hudson (100 Fold - Montana). Their address is 1868 Southwood Road in Vestavia. Childcare provided! Contact Laura at ltucker@covpres.com. If you are planning on attending, please contact the Taylors (rntaylor@southernco.com or mctaylor01@bellsouth.ncom). It will be a great night that you won't want to miss.
LOGISTICS:
Just a Reminder to go to www.takethemameal.com and sign up to bring Sunday morning snacks for our class! Last name Foundations, password 1234. Questions? kerryleasure@gmail.com
Also, in our quest to get to know each other better, we are looking for 'Fun Facts' about you and your spouse. Please send TWO interesting/fun facts for each; two for you and two for your spouse as soon as possible to Cassie Tonsmeire at cassietonsmeire@yahoo.com.
HOSPITALITY:
Your servant team is excited to announce a new hospitality project for our class! It's called Foundations Cares. We will begin collecting frozen casseroles, soups, other things that freeze well and keeping them in the freezers of Karon Staples, Cary Murray, and Katherine Turnage. These frozen meals will be used to help Foundations members who perhaps have a lot on their plates right now with family, illness, etc and could use an extra meal or two in their freezers! We will continue to sign up for meals for new babies and other Foundations events; we just thought it would be great to expand this ministry in new ways!
How to help? To make it easy for everyone we will have three food drop off points:
Cary Murray
1735 Kensington Road
Homewood
205-213-8413
Karon Staples
3810 Montevallo Rd
Crestline
205-567-3302
Katherine Turnage
1905 Southwood Road
Vestavia
205-306-1451
With the majority of our class living in these areas, we hope that one of these homes will be convenient for you. Please text or call any of us above and let us know that you will be dropping off your meal. Please bring your food in a disposable pan wrapped in aluminum foil. On the foil, please write what your meal is, the date and cooking instructions. Your meal can be homemade or store bought. Ashley Mac's, Edgewood Catering and Dish N Out have some wonderful frozen dinners that you can pick up as well. Ingram Link and Traci Parker also have a weekly dinner service where you can order meals. For more information you can email Traci at peauparker@bellsouth.net. Our hope is that this will be an ongoing ministry so whenever you have a chance to double a recipe or grab a frozen meal from a store, please do so! We hope that you will be as excited about this initiative as we are. If you or someone you know could benefit from Foundations Cares, please let myself, Karon or Cary know. Please feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks in advance for your support! Katherine Turnage kwturnage@yahoo.com
Thanks everyone and we look forward to seeing you Sunday morning,
Cary and Daniel
