No internet over Thanksgiving

Sorry for the lack of posts there. I didn't have any internet access last week while Brie and I were traveling. We'll try to make up for it with some good stuff this week.

Thanksgiving Plans

Hey guys, remember there is no Thrive next week (Nov. 22) because of Thanksgiving. I hope that you all have a great time doing whatever you are doing. Perhaps you will be:

• spending time with family
• eating
• watching football
• playing football
• doing homework
• whatever else your family may do
  

What are you doing? Leave a comment with your Thanksgiving plans. After Thanksgiving, we are looking forward to starting our 3 week Christmas series on November 29th. I will be posting more information about this series soon.

Also don't forget to put on your calendars and plan to be there for these three events:

• Dec. 16: Service Project- Caroling
  
• Dec. 20: Christmas Party
• Dec. 31: New Year's Eve Bash

Video of the Week: Mentos Experiment

Diet Coke and mentos. You may know that these two things combined create a fountain, but these guys take it to the next level.

Wednesday Night Preview

Tomorrow night we will be finishing up the series in Daniel we've been calling "Stand Up". This last lesson is "Stay Standing". We are going to see Daniel at the end of his life in what is probably a familiar story to many of you. It will be cool to see it in a new light after looking at his whole life. By the way, as mentioned to some of you on Sunday morning, we have a pretty sweet game planned.

Video of the Week: 155 Tshirts

I was trying to think of a way we could do something like this for a game but where does go to buy 10XL t-shirts?

New look.

I'm trying out this new look. I need to find one to stick with because it is a lot of work to change it around. Any feedback is welcome, otherwise I am sticking with it.

Bonfire Saturday, November 11

This is the perfect time of the year for a bonfire. A little on the cool side but not freezing. Plan on coming to Thrive's bonfire this coming Saturday. We could have it in the parking lot of the church office but when the police show up to ask us to stop, it wouldn't be a whole lot of fun. So, we are loading up at the church office, then heading to a family's house in the country where we can freely enjoy our bonfire fun. We'll roast hot dogs and s'mores, hang out, and maybe even play a little Capture the Flag. When we've had all the fun we can handle we'll make our way back to the office.

Hope you can make it. 5:00-9:00 pm. Bring 3 bucks for food.

One of my favorite SNL skits.
