Hello everyone!

Hope you all had a good September. YAY ONLY NINE MONTHS OF SCHOOL LEFT <3
There have been a lot of cases of the swine flu around our area…  Even Fair Oaks Hospital has locked out all their under 18 volunteers from coming until they recieve the H1N1 vaccination.  Scary…BE CAREFUL EVERYONE!  ):

WASH YOUR HANDS AND COUGH INTO YOUR ELBOWS! AND CATCH YOUR BOOGERS WITH A TISSUE WHEN YOU SNEEZE SO NO-ONE WILL BE EXPOSED TO THEM/HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM.  And avoid physical contact with everyone you know. ;)

“I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn’t resolve. . . . I used to not like God because God didn’t resolve. But that was before any of this happened.” In Donald Miller’s early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.

Our book for November is going to be another recommendation from PJ– Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller.  woowoo!

Here’s how book club is going to work:

1) every first sunday of each month, one of us will annouce the book for the next month.  People who are interested in participating in discussion and getting a book MUST NOTIFY US BY THE SECOND SUNDAY. This includes old members and new members. Leave a comment to this entry with your full name and email address in the comment so we can find you later (:

2) so, we’ll have a new list of members for each month/book.  The second Sunday, we will compile a list of everyone who wants to participate, and forward it to PJ to order the books for us.  They should come in by the

3) Third Sunday, when we’ll distribute copies of the new book for the next month and have our meeting to discuss the current month’s book.

-Also.  We will make it required for everyone to pay/provide for their own copies if they cannot make it out to future fundraisers…

So yeah.  Tell any of your chingoos who you think would be interested in joining!  Remember we’re at www.jgbookclub.wordpress.com

THE SHACK/OCTOBER READERS: OUR MEETING TO DISCUSS WILL BE OCTOBER 18. Try to make time after church.  We won’t have small group on the third Sundays, so it shouldn’t be too hard.  Right?  :D

P.S. Ashley Pyon, Johnny Woo, and John Yu– you guys need to pick up your copies of The Shack! Come find me, Susie, Andrew, Jenny, or PJ whenever you can so we can get them to you.
