House Party March--Game Night

Hey guys,

This is just a friendly reminder about the Game Night House Party coming up this Saturday (March 27th) at 6:30pm at Tonya and Matt Jernigan's House. Everyone is welcome, as always. And this time we ask that you not only bring some food to share, but bring your favorite game (if you have one). It should be a great time.

The Address: 4088 Kenesaw Drive

The Date: March 27th

The Time: 6:30pm-9:00pm

I hope to see everyone there!

Lenten Prayer Vigil

Maxwell Street Presbyterian Church is excited about the upcoming 2010 Lenten Prayer Vigil. The twenty-four hour vigil will begin in the Johnson Parlor at 8:00 p.m., following the Maundy Thursday service on April 1 and will continue until the following evening, April 2, at 7:00 p.m.

What we need are willing volunteers to commit to thirty minutes or an hour of prayer and meditation during the twenty-four hours. Each participating will be given a booklet filled with scriptures, prayers, and hymns to guide you during your time of meditation. For those who sign up for during times when the office is closed, no worries; the college group will act as security and will escort everyone to and from the building.

The sign-up sheet is available during the week in the Church office. So please contact Kate 255-1074 and see what times still need to be filled. I hope you will consider volunteering for this special opportunity to prayer fully reflect the death and crucifixion of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Hous Party March UPDATE

Hey gang, we have decided to move the House Party for March from this Saturday (March 20) to NEXT Saturday (March 27th) due to some scheduling conflicts.

The party will the at the Jernigan's House (4088 Kenesaw Drive) from 6:30pm to about 9:00pm. We will be playing games, so if you have a favorite board game, bring it along. And, as always, bring a dessert or appetizer to share.

And don't forget about the Workday Getaway Lunch this Thursday 11:30 at Sawyer's.

Sunday Update (on Monday)

Well, I'm getting closer. It was another busy weekend for me, but maybe one of these days I'll get caught up.

Last week was a light week. Nothing much going on other than Sunday School. I wasn't able to attend, but I've heard that it was a good class with Woody teaching on Jesus 101. Come join us next Sunday for Presbyterian 101.

This week we have the second installment of the Workday Getaway Lunch. This month we will be meeting at Sawyer's in Downtown Lexington (325 West Main St) on Thursday March 18th at 11:30am. Lunch will be less than an hour so that everyone can get back to work on time.

Stay tuned for an update on the House Party for March. We are currently evaluating whether or not to move it back a week due to short notice and the fact that both Kyle and I may be unable to attend. We will have it, though. And it will be a fun Game Night at the Jernigan's House (4088 Kenesaw Dr). I will let you all know ASAP what the date is. Stay tuned!

Sunday Update (on Tuesday)

Sorry this is a bit late. The end of last week and the beginning of this week have been a little crazy!

Anyway, last week saw the first meeting of Pub Club at Two Key's Tavern. It went really well. We had a great turnout and there was a good mix of fellowship and discussion. It was deep and insightful, but still light and fun. I encourage everyone to come next month if they can. The next meeting will be Wednesday April 7th at 6:30pm and Kyle has told me the topic will be the Creation Stories--Our vs Theirs.

We also had a great Sunday School class this week. Kyle led us in a study of the Worship Service--it's different parts, what we like about them and what we don't. Turn out was light (probably due to a certain basketball game taking place at noon that day) but we had a good time. Come see us next Sunday in the Johnston Parlor at 9:15 for free coffee and learn about Jesus 101.

This week, there isn't much going on. But, as Lent winds down, be thinking of topics/classes you would like to see for Sunday School after Lent is over. Also, if you have any ideas of Fellowship events that we could do over the summer months, please let me know. Have a wonderful week!

Quote of the Day

We had a great turn out at Pub Club tonight and I encourage everyone to come next month if they can.

The discussion was good, the food was great, and the company was even better. The quote of the night, however, comes from Grace who gave us all something to think about when she said:

"Showering is like baptism every morning."
