Corn maze

Good evening everyone,
I personally think that Saturday, October 11th sounds like a great day for the corn maze!
We could then do tribulation trail on Saturday, the 25th as Travis suggested. We need to get these set in stone, so we don't miss out on some harvest time fun! Please respond ASAP, if you are able to commit to these two weekends. Thanks

October Events

In order to coordinate our events so that the most people can attend we probably need to set a date as soon as possible. Ideally, we find the day that the most people have off, then set that as a day to do something. The problem is gathering everyone's schedules and reviewing them all to find the one or two most available days. That might be a hard thing to do. We may want to simply say, for example, we're doing the corn maze on the 11th and Tribulation Trail on the 25th. If we make it official, then people can go ahead and work their schedules so they can attend. Like Larry said, we have around 20 couples, so we should still have a fairly good turn out doing it this way. But we're only five days away October, so we probably need to get some dates set pretty soon. Hope all of you are enjoying Fireproof tonight!

An Unsolicited Vent

I understand that this blog is for posting event ideas, but how about thoughts in general. I logged on for the first time tonight in my hotel here in Killeen, TX to find an unfortunate ad. Of course, this is not Dorian's fault, or any one's fault for that matter; it just happened to be the movie that was advertised in the upcoming movies block. The advertised trailer was for a movie called "The God Who Wasn't There", which is a documentary attempting to prove that Christianity is simply a crutch for the weak based solely on a fairy tale full of holes. The influx of media into the everyday lives of billions around the world is likely the greatest avenue for the purposes of God to people who are otherwise wholly disconnected from all things godly. The dark and heartbreaking antithesis to this is that it is also the greatest avenue for the purposes of Satan to all people--no person is safe. We would all agree that Satan was and is fully involved in the production and distribution of this film and I cringe to think how many people will watch that ad, those who are riding the fence between belief and disbelief, and succumb to the not-so-subtle urgings of Satan. The divide between the churched and the unchurched is not only getting deeper and wider, but the two divisions are each becoming better schooled in their thought. Satan's armies are getting more and more aggressive in their attacks, not holding anything back. We have to always be on the offensive. Scripture says that we must be ready to defend our faith. Have you thought recently about how you would defend your faith if someone challenged you on, let's say, the authenticity of scripture, the deity of Christ, the eternality of God, or simply the existence of God, Himself? I know our class is about communication within a Christian marriage, which is hugely important and I am really looking forward to it. That being said, and this applies to me as much as anyone (of course), we have to guard ourselves very closely against becoming too comfortable within the confines of our group, discussing a topic that is sure to make us feel good. While we are comfortable, Satan is looking for someone to devour. This includes each one of us. Sorry for the rant, but that movie trailer got me a bit steamed. My challenge to all of us: Let us never be comfortable with our current level of faith in God or understanding of God. Now I'm going to bed -- good night!

Whoa, does this werk?

OMG, my bff jill...

Welcome to the OHC Young Fams Blog

By now you shoud have recieved an invitation to share on tis blog.

Cracking the Communication Code

This Sunday we will start a new six week study called "Cracking The Communication Code" with Pastor Larry and Margo Askew. This is an exciting study from 9:30 to 10:30 which is open to all young married families who are looking to connect with their spouse on a more spiritual level.

About The Book
An in-depth study of the vital principles from the best-selling Cracking the Communication Code now in workbook form.

Communication between couples has been dissected in thousands of books and articles, so why does it remain the number one marriage problem? "Because," says Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, "most spouses don't know that they speak two different languages. They are sending each other messages in 'code,' but they won't crack that code until they see that she listens to hear the language of love and he listens to hear the language of respect." Dr. Eggerichs' best-selling book, Love and Respect, launched a revolution in how couples relate to each other. Now with the Cracking the Communication Code companion workbook, the message of this hardcover trade book can be studied and applied whether for a group or for individual couples. The result will be better communication, mutual understanding, and a successful godly marriage.

Fireproof The Movie

This Friday September 25th we will be going as a group to see Fireproof the movie. The creators of this movie are the same people that brought us Facing the Giants. If you haven't seen Facing the Giants, its a must see. If you are interested in getting tickets for the movie night this weekend or need additional information on childcare, please contact Larry Askew at One Heart.
