Oops. I was going to post this last week but forgot. Tonight we are going to continue our discussion time. We will be talking about Identity in Christ. We hope to hear from everyone on the following questions.
- What are you passionate about?
- What where you born to do?
- Where do you feel able to lead within the group?
- Where do you desire to lead (if it is different from #3)?

Some announcements from last night's meeting:
1. Eric is working on the next "In the House" magazine. He wants submissions within the next two weeks re: our thoughts on these two things: 1) What do you see for the the future of VC? 2) What are your thoughts on our role as a citizen of the world and citizen of the Kingdom? They would like to have some focuse on apolitical and non-partisan discussion.
2. Kendra will start making a monthly reminder on tithe. Sarah is going to make a tithe box area that will be set out each week as well. You do not have to write a check to Vineyard Central. You can write a check directly to "Identity Housechurch" and put it in the tithe box.
3. Shaina would like all families with children in diapers to bring a pack of diapers and wipes for upstairs by next week.
4. Next week the "girls" will leave to have a bridal shower for Phyllis at Jill's house. Guys should bring 5 bucks for pizza for them and the kids; girls bring $5 for food at the shower. Jill will organize the food for girls; John will pick up pizza.
5. Michael and Phyllis' wedding is Saturday, Sept 18th at 4:30pm. They would appreciate if families could each bring a potluck dish. Phyllis will provide barbeque and John will pick up bottled water at Sam's Club.
6. For SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER FOCUS: John would like to spend an entire month with some focused discussion on Jesus being the center of our housechurch/lives, what are we doing as a housechurch and why are we here?, what is working, what isn't working?, what do you want from leadership and how can you contribute?, etc. We may have some short worship or prayer as needed on those evenings as well.
