Meals for the Quinns

Assistant SS Teacher - Aaron Kahl has volunteered to take Mike Brookbank’s class for the entire month of January rather than having a different teacher every week. Thanks Aaron for taking that on. If needed, there may be opportunities to help Aaron out, but we’ll leave that up to him.
Caroling - December 13 the Abbott House will be asking that people sign up for 45 minute slots of caroling. We thought we would do this as a group. The sign up sheet went around, but if you want to get in on the action it is not too late! Let Amy Kahl know next week in the MC (mini congregation).
Prayer Requests for the week of November 11

- Prayer Request list for this week:
> Amber Quinn will be going in for a C – Section this week Tuesday at 8:00am for their family’s newest addition to finally become a reality. Amber asks to pray especially for safety.
> Stephanie Johnston reported on Saturday that they have the flu at their house. Please pray that it would pass quickly and skip a few family members!
> Prayer was requested for Chad and Angela Vogal and their family. Chad recently resigned as athletic director at DWU, and his vocational future is somewhat up in the air. Chad’s parents are both battling cancer as well. Just pray that God’s hand would be on them through what is probably a very tough time for them. Pray that they would continue to seek God out, and that their marriage would not come under attack. We also pray that they would see fit to return to mini congregation as we enjoy their input from time to time.
Leadership Summit Series
This week we started a video series in our Mini Congregation time. The series comes from Willow Creek church out of Chicago. These are a series of lessons focusing on leadership. Each week we will have a related, but not dependant lesson, meaning, if you miss, don’t be shy about coming the next time because there’s no quiz!
This week Bill Hybels (Willow’s head pastor) gave a message entitled “Vision to Die for”. It is about the vision of a leader, and how this can become a successful vision. In short, it can’t be just the leader’s vision, but it has to be owned by others in order to succeed. Hybels used the example of the Civil Rights movement, specifically the racial equality movement spearheaded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Because people shared this vision, they were even willing to die for the cause, as was unfortunately displayed on Bloody Sunday in Alabama in 1965 where the nation saw that these men and women were willing to be beaten and die for Dr. King’s (an their own) vision.
Yeah, heavy stuff…
Next week there will be an interview with Carly Fiornia, former CEO of HP (Hewlett – Packard) and Victory Chairman for the Republican National Committee. Fiornia’s interview is entitled “Tough Choices”.
If you want to get more information on the series, you can download the accompanying handout from the Willow Creek website: www.willowcreek.com/summit/team07 The password is LSTE07 (that is a zero not an O).
