Art says he has enough chairs; but I’m bringing an extra, just in case he has an overflow crowd.  RSVP to Sandy Fine, zekefine@hotmail.com or 281-332-6675

Special thank you again to Lee Swindler and his band of service brothers that helped complete 4 out of 5 service projects.  After huddling at CLPC for a quick bite and prayer, the teams of 3 were sent out and knocked off the slated projects before noon - for the most part.  This is a great service and opportunity for anybody to get involved.  We will be skipping February since that is our annual CLPC Mission Blitz month, which means there will be plenty of service projects for all to serve.  Look for updates near March for our next Manly Service Day (2nd Saturday in March is the plan).

If you have an idea, or service/local mission project, that you feel compelled to take on - then you are probably not alone.  Please let me know by e-mail (Josh_Stras@yahoo.com) or leave a comment on this blog.

Upcoming Events

Happy New Year!  

The next manly service day is now scheduled for Saturday, January 23rd.   A variety of outdoor projects are being lined up, that were requested through the Carpenters Hand ministry.   We will meet at CLPC, break into work groups, and disperse.   Lee Swindler is the projects coordinator and has also done the scoping of the projects.   We try to ensure projects are ones that can be started and completed in one morning.  There are plenty of opportunities for everyone - independent of age, physical ability, or carpentry skills.   We need men who are also willing to buy suppliers and just be good company to individuals who may need to just talk to somebody.  

Our next Manly Movie Night will be Sunday, January 31rd.   The specific location is still be finalized, but this is always a great time for fellowship and sometimes even a good movie.   We normally have 15-30 guys show up and proceed with good grill'n and refreshments (BYOB).   The movies we watch really vary but have always been enjoyable.   We do this the fifth Sunday of the month, which equates to once every three months or so.  We hope you can make it and bring a friend.  Details to follow....

Other tid bits - Several individuals bike on a regular basis.  A few of us are starting to bike again, but are really in bad shape.   If you ever wanted to start cycling for the first time or first time in a long time - please let me know (Josh_Stras@yahoo.com).  The Thursday night basketball activity at CLPC is still continuing as well.

Have a Blessed Week!

Welcome to 2010!

The next Manly Service Day is Saturday, January 9th - We will meet at CLPC for a quick breakfast, prayer, and break out into work teams.   The plan going forward is to have the 2nd Saturday of every month set aside for service projects.   The projects are pre-planned and targeted to be completed by mid-day on Saturday.  Please reach out to Lee Swindler, Josh Strasner, show up at CLPC, or leave a comment to this blog if you are interested in getting involved.  There is plenty of different work to do for everyone - from manual labor, carpenter skills, to the ability to go buy supplies, and/or to just stop a listen to a person in need.
