Another first ...

L.O.G. #70's first team meeting ...
We're happy to be back!
Looks like Prom - but you know what we're playing ...
Actually - I'm not sure what these two are playing...

------------------

L.O.G. #70 team's first meeting was full of fun and friendship: elbow tag, care-o-cell questions, singing and devo!

Welcome to the first-timers:  Phillip, Emy, Ellie, Morgan and Madison.

Welcome back to a few we hadn't seen in awhile:  Melinda and Wyatt.

So glad to have our faithful-ones - - too many to name!

CoLeaders Isaac and Mary Kate are very excited about their team!

------------------

Between now and next meeting ...
keep reflecting on how you "stick it between your teeth".  How can you "speak up for Christ; live for Christ; not deny Christ; "die" for Christ"?

Mark your calendars for our overnight on October 25-26.  Ask off work now!

Snacks next week:  Will and Morgan L.

Participant sign ups begin on Sunday, September 1.

CYA next week!

And we're off!

Our first LOG #69 team meeting was a great time of re-union!

So much fun ...
 So many hugs ...
 So many people ...

Maybe - - too many people ...??

You say - how can it be too many people?

Experience shows that the larger the team, the more difficult it is for people to get to know everyone on team so many people just hang with the friends they already know.

Experience shows that the larger the team, the more often people think "ah, they won't miss me if I don't make it to the team meeting - they'll still get the work done without me".

But we don't want to tell anyone that they cannot serve on a LOG team.  So we accepted everyone who signed up for this team. 

In the team covenant you will sign next week, you will promise to strive to miss no more than two team meetings.  In the past, we've been pretty lax in enforcing this.  But with such a large team, we think this is very important and will be asking those who miss too many meetings to reevaluate their commitment to serving on the LOG #69 team.

Please explain your commitment to your parents, your employer, your coaches and your friends.  Get your homework done earlier in the weekend so you don't have that hanging over your head on Sunday afternoons.



 Please remember - if you cannot make it to a meeting you must call Jenae, Sarah or Terry (you can find the phone numbers on the LOG #69 Facebook page).  Please do not post to the FB page or send email or texts - we want to talk with you.

Look at the bottom right hand corner of the main page - you can add your email address and you will get an email whenever this blog is updated.  

Reminder to Team #69 ...
 - Sweet snacks - Courtney M
- Salty snacks - Mimi B
- other (more sweet)? - Keegan B

Everyone - please bring some drinks or all we will have is ice water each week!

We are looking forward to seeing you again next Sunday.
