Changing of the seasons

The Saddleback Annual CR summit and Boise CR's annual leadership retreat have come and gone! This marks the ending of another gorgeous summer and the entering into a colorful new season-FALL!! Which then leads us into the holidays!

With that said, it's time to start planning some Holiday events, such as our Christmas party!! Taryn is going to join the "E" coaches in the planning of this most auspicious of nights and we will be asking for volunteers along the way. Most relationships break up in video stores or during party planning times, so with our vast array of personalities, we are sure to clash, however, do not be afraid because it is during these times of stretching that we grow and relationships strengthen-so, who wants to be on board? In all seriousness, it's going to be a "hoot" (I threw that word in their for the old farts! This blogging stuff is not their cup O' tea!) Please let Rich or Stephie know if you would like to volunteer.

Ok, but let's not wait until the Holidays to get together. We need to remember that the word says "let's not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another ...Hebrews 10:25

What can we do?
  • Perform regular and random acts of kindness! A text to say "thinking of you!" A card, or an invitation to coffee.
  • Send cards or letters in the mail or even an email to encourage or just to say we care.
  • Plan fellowship events- hanging out and chilling with NO TALK ABOUT RECOVERY!
  • Pray for one another-Lift one another up always!!

The battle is rough and many grow weary, we need one another!! so let's spur one another on in love!!

Wow! I'm so impressed! And I won't even address that I might call the Christmas party a "hoot"! I have more pix from some of the fun things over the summer and the the Summit and retreat. If I ever get them organized, I'll send them so they can be added to the slide show! Love that!!

Thanks Stephie!
