CANDY LAND

Have you begun to invite friends to Candy Land October 30th from 5-7 pm? If not, why not? It's gonna' be a sweet fun-filled time themed around the classic board game. There will be loads of free activities. Snacks and drinks will be available for just $2.00 each. Start praying now about who God might want you to invite. Is there a child or a family that God has placed in your path who might be far from Him? Do you have a neighbor who could use a night out at an over-the-top G-rated event? 
It's good for us to remember that Live Oak participates in events like Candy Land, because they are excellent excuses to love people and point them to Christ. Thanks for partnering with us by inviting those God places on your heart!

Splish-Splash-Bash

Dear THC Parents,

       This Sunday is the very first small group meeting of the new season. If you haven't signed up for a small group or registered for small group childcare yet, please do so at www.live-oak.org. 

Nancy Muncy, (small group childcare coordinator) and I are planning an extra special evening for your children. We will have pizza, popsicles, Capri Sun and water... lots and lots of water! Water sprinklers, water slides, water ballons & water guns! Please bring your children in their swim suits and have them bring a towel and a change of clothes. In case of inclimate weather, we will reschedule the "Splish-splash-bash." 

Blessings,

Dear THC Parents,

      Please plan to be here tomorrow night at 5:30, as we eat dinner together as a church family ($2 per person) and celebrate all that God has done in the life of our church, over the summer! The Tree House Club children will not meet separately from their parents this time.

Are any of you doing your SPLINK or FUSION (www.d6family.com) activitites yet? If so... "How's that workin' for ya'?" Please communicate with our team about that. We are excited to learn how you are living out D6 in your family!
  
Let me know if you have any questions, and may God bless your family BIG this week!

Much love in Him,

Jeannette Gist

We did it!

We survived the first week of school and now we are well into week two! Hooray for moms and dads and sleepy kids all over Lubbock!

We are looking forward to the launch of our new curriculum this week in the 9:30 am service. If you haven't gone to www.d6family.com to register your family to receive the weekly "SPLINK" e-mails, please do so now! They are free and will greatly enhance your familiy's experience with our new curriculum.

Additionally, here is a head's up on what we are learning our first week.     

Our theme- Integrity
Our memory verse for September 4-10 is Psalm 18:30
Our text is Job 1:1-2:10
Our objective- To know important truths about God and stick with them when trouble comes.

In our 11:00 service we will do worship in room 106 and we will learn about missions and participate in a service activity.

If you are traveling this Labor Day weekend, please be safe. We will be praying for you and will be looking for you on the 11th.

Looking ahead... make plans to attend church, Sunday, September the 11th is going to be a special day. Many of our Tree House Club children will be singing in the adult service. Afterward, we will enjoy a presentation from our local VFW chapter. Then, we'll participate, as a group, in a service opportunity for our troops.

Small group childcare also begins September 11th at 5:30 pm. We will be hosting a Splash-Splash-Bash! So, please send your child in his/her swim suit. We will be serving pizza and popsicles and playing with water slides, sprinklers, and squirt guns. You can register and pay on the web-site. www.live-oak.org 

Have a great week my friends! 

Love in Christ,
