Hanging out at the park was fun! Thanks to the Davis' for bringing water bottles for everyone!

Everyone should be getting an e-mail that "invites" them to join this blog. Seriously, my computer IQ is not real high, and I managed to do this! You'll be asked to create an account (it's free) and then you'll be able to post to this blog as well. To do that, just go to blogspot.com and log in with the username and password you'll select when you create your account.

This should save us a lot of phone calls and message-leaving (which isn't very reliable most of the time anyway). I'm hoping that this blog will be a place we can communicate with each other about upcoming events, pass on things from Mark Henry or from our deacon, and share prayer requests, praises, etc.

We need feedback! Try it -- let me know if you're having trouble with the process!

New Hope Group Blog! Wow! Duly Impressed?

Here's to moving into the "information era"! Since we're doing things a little different this summer, thought it would be important to stay in touch and provide a place where we can all check-in to see what's going on as well as reply to things... let me know if this works for you! I won't promise to get fancy with pictures and things like that, but who knows?

Looks like we have some pretty significant things going on among us (if you don't know what I'm talking about, then you'd better come on Wed.)! We're planning on meeting this Wednesday, the 30th. Still trying to come up with a good plan... I'm planning on calling Bryan Parks & Rec. tomorrow to see if there's a pavillion (with restrooms) open Wed. night. If the weather is alright, we can let the kids play on the playground and have time to talk and meet together. We'll bring an ice-chest with juice boxes. Who'll bring an ice-chest with bottled water?

If the weather is still rainy, it still may work -- we could set the kids up at a picnic table with some board games, art projects, etc. (and lots of mosquito spray)!

Get back to me with any fabulous ideas and we'll figure it out. Check back before Wed. and I'll post the final plans and times here.

More summer fun to come!
