Charley’s Comments

 

      My family and I took a few days off this past Labor Day weekend to spend some time together.  Growing up I don’t remember our family taking many vacations.  With my father’s disability, it wasn’t an easy thing to do, and I understand that.  Perhaps that is partly why I cherish so much the opportunities I have as a father and husband to spend time away from the routine of life with my family. The time is rapidly approaching in our family when opportunities for all of us to be together like we were this past weekend will be rare and much more difficult to arrange.   I am grateful for this past weekend.   I hope you and your family had an enjoyable weekend as well.

            We’ve made it through the initial onslaught of activities that come with the beginning of a new school year.  We are now beginning to settle into our regular, weekly activities at the UCSC.   Our first Bread and Blade will begin this coming Monday evening.  We’ll begin the evening with a meal at 6:00 and follow that up with a devotional at 7:00.  Each week we’ll conclude the evening with some kind of activity that will afford our students a chance to get together and just have some fun.  You are welcome to join us on Monday nights.  If you plan to eat with us, please let Dana, Kay, or Penny know.  We want everyone to have plenty to eat. 

            And by the way, just in case you heard through the grapevine, yes, Dana and I did have a wreck on the way to work Tuesday morning.  Fortunately, the only casualty was our car.  The insurance adjuster declared it totaled on Wednesday.   We appreciate those of you who inquired about our physical condition.  I’m happy to say we’re fine, just a little sore and banged up. 

 

 

 

Youth and Family News

 

We had a great time at Family Day at the park last weekend!  It was hot!  Thanks to everyone who came and brought stuff to share!  We will do this again in the near future.

    I am sorry that I'm behind on the September calendar.  My work computer crashed (again) and the current calendar is in it.  I am supposed to get the computer back Friday. I will try to have an updated calendar by Monday. Here are some things to put on your schedule:

 

·         September 12th - Parent's Night Out 6-10 p.m.(downstairs at the building)

·         September 27th - A.W.O.L. Jr.  10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

·         October 3-5th - Zoe Conference (Roy and Angie will be away to attend that)

·         October 18th - Family Trip to Lambert's Cafe 10 a.m.

·         October 25th - Neewollah (Youth) 7 p.m.

·         October 26th - Trunk or Treat (Cool Kids) 6 p.m.

 

   If you have one of the calendars I passed out at the parents meeting, toss it out.  The dates listed above are different.  We had to shuffle a few things around to accommodate the Zoe conference.

 

   If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thanks, roy
