Introducing "The Gathering of Five"
Greetings Saints!
Delighted to share with everyone about a great addition to the
rhythm of body life at The Gathering.
Our leaders will be inviting 5 different couples to join them for
a relational and casual gathering in their homes each month
during this new year.
The goal is simple: relax, enjoy table fellowship,
and generously laugh together. Therefore, feel free to pick
on Norm, Steven, or Bobby. In fact, it's open season on brother
Coffey as well. lol
Soooooo, be prepared to quickly say yes when you are personally
invited to a host home. It will certainly please Christ and you will
grow relationally.
Shout!

Getting Our New Year Groove On!
Haaaaaaaaaappy New Year Saints!
As we enter 2012 together with renewed vigor for Christ, his Kingdom, and the Church,
here are some "New and Re-newed" objectives we are intentionally implementing to fuel
our gospelized passion.
Designed to be a means to grow in grace and knowledge, I trust these pursuits will be
centered at the top of your cultural and family life priorities.
1. Monthly "Heart Spa" led by Regina and a team of seasoned ladies. [TBA]
2."Gathering of Five" hosted by leadership families, will target five couples to enjoy
a covered dish meal together for table fellowship and relational one anothering.
3.Beginning this Wednesday at 6:30 pm, we will resume our commitment to
biblical studies by unpacking "The First Epistle of John". Here is a sampling
of questions to be answered:
a. When does eternal life begin?
b. The biblical difference between unconditional love and conditional fellowship?
c. How do Christian's make God out to be a liar?
d.Can we biblically evaluate our "spiritual growth stages?"
e. Are negative consequences incurred for "loving the world?'
f, Why the warning,"let no man deceive you?"
g. Is it true that "whoever is born of God will never sin?"
h.Why are we commanded to "test the spirits?"
i. How can we be confident that we will receive everything we ask in prayer?
j. What is "the sin unto death" for Christian's?

Sunday Announcements With 10 Commandments of Christmas
Advent Greetings Saints,
I love the entire Christmas season and look forward to our 4th Sunday Advent
celebration in the morning.
Please remember that we are continuing our commitment to the "advent conspiracy"
which means intentionally undermining our secularized-encultured season of
narcissism, commercialism and consumerism by giving to those who are in need.
See the video below for the Advent Conspiracy challenge.
In order to assist in this endeavor, a special offering will be received in the morning to
bless third world under privledged Honduran Pastors by investing in their ministry
development training.
When preparing what to give, bear in mind that these third world shepherds function
with only a 5-6th grade education level. Our goal is to raise $ 1000.00 for this noble
endeavor. More to be be shared in the morning.
Also, we will finalize attendance in the morning to our festive "Christmas by Candlelight"
Friday December 23rd at Taste of Lemon. This celebratory event will be lieu of our
normal Sunday morning Gathering due to Christmas day being on Sunday.
Since The Gathering is underwriting the evening, please take advantage of the
opportunity to freely Gospelize "UNCHURCHED" co-workers, friends and relatives by
inviting them to join you in atending.
Finally, consider these "10 Commandments of Christmas" so that our priorities will
reflect a Christ Centered Season:
I. Thou shalt not leave “Christ” out of “Christmas” nor refuse to use the word Christmas
during this season.
II. Thou shalt demonstrate joy to the world, for the Lord is come.
III. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus take the place of the reality of the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem.
IV. Thou shalt remember that the value of gifts we give and receive is the love that's behind them.
V. Thou shalt consider the words of Jesus,”It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
VI. Thou shalt not neglect Christ and His church during the Christmas Season.
VII. Thy Christmas Cards shall bear the good news of the coming of Christ and His salvation.
VIII. Thou shalt be kind to those who serve; the cashier, the merchant, and the mail carrier.
IX. Thou shalt remember the greatest gift of all, when God gave His only begotten Son.
X. In all thy giving, thou shalt give a gift to the One whose birthday we celebrate. Appropriate recipients shall be missions, thy church, and those in need.

Announcing Our "Christmas By Candlelight" Celebration
Greetings Saints,
Plans are underway for this years "Christmas by Candlelight" dinner and advent celebration.
I am delighted to share that we have reserved "Taste of Lemon" for this festive occasion.
This choice will make the evening more enjoyable for everyone since they provide complete
decorations for the building and tables setting along with the dinner buffet of our choice.
In the days ahead, the ladies will be selecting our menu and we will begin requesting
everyone to sign up to reserve seating. Since The Gathering underwrites the expense of
of the entire evening, It is our hope that everyone will mark your calendar to participate.
As is our custom, this celebratory event will take place on Friday evening in lieu of our
normal Sunday morning Gathering. This means everyone will enjoy their family since Christmas
holiday lands on Sunday.
More details are forthcoming regarding the invitation of "unchurched" guests and extended
family and friends.
What? .........Christmas by Candlelight
When?.........Friday December 23rd, 6;30pm

My Sincere Apology!
Greetings Saints,
I am embarrassed to share that during technical difficulties and impromptu change
implemented this morning, I failed to mention some very important matters to everyone.
While the moment can never be recaptured and the venue less than honoring as
it should be, these announcements are still beneficial for me to share post haste:
>Congratulations!
*Mark and Ginger Ward! Their daughter Kelly was married last night and it was one of the best celebrations I've seen yet! Ole Mark rocked the house during the father/daughter dance.
*L.J. and Peggy Woods are out of town celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary this weekend. L.J. suspiciously refused to tell anyone where he was taking Peggy.
>Happy Birthday
*To Regina Hanner celebrating her__?_ birthday today. I am not as bold as Bobby Patton so I will just leave it at that. lol
>Out of Town:
*The Cipolla family was in North Carolina enjoying their newest grandchild.
*Caysi Swol was in North Georgia just goofin off with her family.
>Prayer Petition:
* Ashley McWhorter is experiencing some difficulty and needs continued prayer for the baby. Ben could be a father as soon as Tuesday. Hopefully the baby get his looks from his mother. lol
Love In Christ!

Sunday Love Feast Celebrating The 4th of July
Greetings Saints!
We are going to celebrate the 4th by centering upon the biblical paradigm of The Love Feast! Holman Bible Dictionary describes what Jude, Peter and Paul allude to in their writings:
"A Common fellowship meal of the church preceding the Lord's Supper. The Love Feast or Agape (meal) was a significant dimension of the fellowship and worship of the early church. As a concrete manifestation of obedience to the Lord's command to love one another, it served as a practical expression of the koinonia or communion that characterized the church's life."
Our facility will be set up for table fellowship so we can enjoy fresh breakfast foods together with an abbreviated liturgy of sacrament,scripture, and song.
The ladies are requested to prepare ample portions so that all the "Hungry Jack" brothers can feast to the point of fullness. Here are some items that will git-r-done ladies: sausage balls, fresh homemade biscuits, white gravy, breakfast casserole,cheese grits,country ham, bacon, monkey muffins and a whole lotta eggs!
Stay tuned, Vicki Martin will be contacting everyone to coordinate the menu and the abundant food supply.
SHOUT!
