Good morning all,
Our Christmas party went exceptionally well I think. It was the first time in a while that we had Levi and the band play but I still do not think the students responded well to the musical worship, even though they were Christmas songs. The photo booth was a hit thanks to Jack and Kerri Lastorka’s props box and Tina Wilkinson’s backdrop. The photos are on The Foundation Facebook page (facebook.com/thefoundationym). Thanks to everyone who helped with the food also as the students really liked it.
Three days until Christmas, are you ready??? Basketball season is done for the rest of the 2014 year and will pickup on Saturday, January 3rd. One of my prayers is that I would have the opportunity to fill the league coordinator position for Mobile area teams one day. All of our teams are currently winless, with the exception of one tournament game for the Older team. I keep telling myself I’ve been through this before.

Winter Woods Retreat – December 29-31 – $30/person
Currently we only have 3 confirmed going on the Winter Retreat. I have put the other 3 that have told me they want to go on a tentative list as we need more students & adults to go to make this happen. Currently the only adult that has signed up is Logan Wainwright which means we will not be taking any girls as we do not have any lady chaperones.
Students or Adults that want to go please contact me at 251-210-7018, email chris@friendshipfamily.net, or talk to me in person at church this Sunday, Dec. 28th. I will make a decision after service on Sunday morning whether we are going or not.
Late-Night Bowling on Sunday, January 18 – Cost $5
We will take the students late-night bowling at Spanish Trail Lanes in Gautier, MS on Sunday, January 18th after the evening service. Students will be required to be at the evening service at 6:00pm to go with us. No exceptions! College/Adults are free. First Baptist Bayou la Batre and potentially First Baptist Pascagoula will attend with us.
MLK Day RA Basketball Games – Monday, January 19th
We will host games at our church on MLK Day. More than likely it will be a 9:00am – 3:00pm kind of day. We need some volunteers to help with the game clock, scorekeeping, concessions, and cleaning before and after so please let me know if you would like to help.
GO Camp 2015 at Georgia Baptist Conference Center in Toccoa, GA

I really hope you take more than a couple minutes out of the Christmas Day to reflect on Jesus. Spend the whole day glorifying him and thanking him for everything given and received.
