Bowling Tuesday 30th 5-7

Hey Crew,

Whaaat's up? I think because of the e-mail mess-ups we haven't had enough responses for the scavenger hunt tomorrow, but I promise we will try do it sometime in January.

We will go bowling tomorrow at Southgate Bowling Center tomorrow Tuesday 30th. from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. You will need to bring money for shoes and games.

I hope you can come! Respond to this blog by email if you can to let me know if you plan come.
Tommy

Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?

Hey Crew,
Have you ever been on your phone and be running your mouth on and on only to find out that your call had been dropped a few minutes earlier? I kinda feel like that's what been happening for the last couple of months with my emails. I've been sending and sending, but you ain't been receiving. Somehow my email account has not been sending out the emails I have written you. This is real frustrating for me because I send about three a week. I've sent 14 this month alone.

I lot of you have missed events because of this communication meltdown and I'm sorry for that. I hope that I have it resolved!

If you don't receive at least one email a week from me PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, let me know so I can check it out! I rely on emails to communicate with nearly a hundred of you, so it's very, very important!

Please make it a habit to check the blog site. Here's the link, save it in your list of favorites http://casjcrew.blogspot.com/ I update this with all our events, pic's, lessons, thought's, video, etc. If you check this regularly you should always be up to speed on happenings and changes. Go check it out right now if you haven't in a while and see what you've missed.

Hope we're back on track!

Crew,
I would like to do a Scavenger Hunt this Tuesday night and then maybe a movie or something.

I need for you to reply to me by phone or email asap if you are interested! Call me or email me. We need a least 10-15 people to do the Scavenger Hunt.

So let me know!

God with us! Wow!!!

Merry CHRISTmas Crew,

What a special day! The God of all creation born as a baby! A King born for all men, from the lowest of men to the highest if kings. He is God with us! God's pure light! If you know Him He actually lives in you! He gives you life! Your alive and your never gonna stop living!

Celebrate Him today, I Love You!

Here's some CHRISTmas trivia for ya.
The three "wise students" to answer this will receive a free Chic-fil-a sandwich!
***Finish the words to this DC Talk song... "People say I'm strange does that make me a stranger....."

Facebook caution!

Hey Crew,

I wanted to let you know about a Facebook virus going around. I was sent a message from a good friend of mine Warren Mainard (youth pastor at cornerstone). Most of you know him and know that he is an awesome guy. Long story short he received this Facebook virus today from a friend and it captured some his friends which sent it to me, and then to my friends etc, etc... and so the virus spreads. The virus will show me or whoever sent it as commenting on photo or video. The virus then ask you to go to some random dot com site. If you click on that site your computer could be exposed to a virus.

I think Facebook is a fun site. It does a great job at keeping things on the up and up, but unfortunately these hackers are every where.

Bottom line is if you have a Facebook account and receive any message from me or Warren asking you to go to an external site to view photos or videos DON'T OPEN IT!

Be safe!

It's beginning to feel a lot like spring break

It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas, but it feels a lot like spring! We got a little chill today, but that want last. Just because it's warm doesn't make this time of year any less special!

Here's a challenge for you. Read the CHRISTmas story in either Matthew or Luke and try to find something in the story that you never have thought of before. It's the Greatest Story Ever Told! Spend a few minutes this year reading it!

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!
T

P.S. Never abbreviate Christmas by using Xmas... that crosses Christ out of Christmas. Instead reverse it and capitalize the CHRIST in CHRISTmas!

Lift High

This is an amazing worship song and one of my favorites!

This particular version is sung by Steve Fee. He is a great worship leader, but I think the song is best sung by the guy who wrote it.

If you like it check out Eddie Kirkland on itunes. The songs name is "Lift High" on his album Orthodoxy.

Lift Him High!

Hey Yall!!!!

My Dear Friends...
I am going to write you a list.

What I miss about you:
1. Your craziness
2. Your passion for life
3. Your laughter
4. Our Memories
5. Everyone making fun of my laugh
6. Blake ruining my jokes with the answer (you always know!)
7. YOU!

Anyways...
I wanted to write and share some things with you about my new life now in Summerville, SC.

I am getting married in 4 months... which is crazy because last year at this point many of you wanted to help me find a husband but the good news is I got one on my own! :) haha... anyways, with this new season of my life I have been learning what it means to trust God. I am away from my friends (you), my family (Tim and Tommy), and my church. With everyone I love, except for Mark, being in Florence, my relationship with Christ has gotten much more real. There are real feelings of hurt, confusion, anxiety, worry, love, and friendship - all of which I have felt before in my relationship but now everything is magnified.

I just want to continue to challenge you to be real in your relationship with Christ. You don't have to worry about hiding something from him well because he is God and he knows. Talk to him (pray) and listen to what he's saying. He's saying a lot and when you don't think he's saying anything remember the word he gave to you (the bible).

Anyways, I am off to eat dinner after a long day at work... I miss you and love y'all sooooo much.

Cyprian :)
