FBOTR Christmas Party!!!

DATE CHANGED!!!

The annual Families Built on the Rock Christmas Party will be at the Walker's home Sunday, December 16th at 6:30. This will be a fun time for us to celebrate the holidays together. Activities include a potluck and a gift exchange. This is going to be a "white elephant" gift that must cost under $10 or, even better, nothing (think about whatever cheese knife set you got last year for Christmas, cheese not included). Nursing babies are welcome and if childcare is a problem you might think about pairing up with another couple and splitting the cost.

Please sign up for what you might bring in the comments.

Let's Talk Thursday Night

All girls are invited to meet for conversation and prayer this Thursday night, Novmber 15th at 7:00 PM at Suzetta's house. Post a comment to sign up for a snack or dessert item to bring. Nursing babies welcome.

How about a float?

If you missed the potluck yesterday, you missed some great food! Thanks to everyone who came! We had a great time, and the kids enjoyed playing "train." We're already looking forward to the next one.

Several of us talked about the possibility of putting together a very simple FBOTR class float for the Christmas Parade of Lights which is at 6:30 PM on Monday night, November 26th. If you have ever attended, the floats are pretty simple so this shouldn't be that big of a deal to put together. We just thought our kids might have fun being in the parade this year.

Chris Riley came up with a western Christmas theme. We'll need some hay bales, a trailer, a truck to pull it, someone to cut a cactus or two which can stand in the middle decorated for Christmas. The kids can dress in jeans, white shirts and wear red or green bandanas.

Please post a comment if you have any of the above items or can contribute in some way. Also, if you have a GREAT idea to make this easier or better in any way, please feel free to comment. Let us know what you think!

Easy Recipes

I was wanting to get Leslie's recipe for the tasty chicken & rice casserole that she brought to us after we had Pierson and it occurred to me that we might use this blog to do a little recipe sharing. I'm always looking for something new, quick and easy to cook, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So if you have a minute, share one of your favorite quick and easy recipes with the class. You never know, someone else might end up bringing it to the next potluck! Happy Cooking. . .
