Dear Lifebuilder:

Good times were had by all attendees at the Klink Party Pad Sunday PM after Night Church. Sally Soups, salad, Amy Brumfields great Southern cornbread and Anne J's chocolate truffle thingy were consumed by hungry class members. Tales were told, stomachs filled, hearts were made merrier and dynasties toppled- all in two wild hours of holy fellowship. Photos of the bash can be viewed at this page on the Lifebuilder Blogger Site: Lifebuilders Blogger Site

February 2008 Electives

Lifebuilders 12/16/07

Dear Lifebuilder:

This past Sunday was the last Sunday School class of '07.

Preston MC'ed.

WHITE ELEPHANT WIPE OUT: Class members were still recovering Sunday AM from the annual yuletide hair-pulling gift exchange ceremony at the Aguillard woody redoubt outside Frayser. Many a gift were exchanged (and re-exchanged), calories consumed, yarns spun and sides tickled.

MCCORDIC UPDATE: Ross leaves for TEAM headquarters in Wheaton, IL this weak. The family will spend Christmas in Toronto. After Christmas Ross travels to South Africa & Dawn to Florida. Ross will be supervising TEAM missionaries in the Middle East & Africa. Eldest son, Josh is in school at Wheaton. Middle son, Kyle, is a junior at Black Forrest Cake Academy in Germany. He would like to finish his last 2 years of high school there. Youngest son, David, is being home schooled.

Former FEC pastor ROY HENDRICK's mother-in-law is hospitalized on an extended care floor at Methodist Central with terminal cancer.

Former U of M professor and regular FEC High School Sunday School Class mentor, DR CHARLES COUZINS, is having a progressively harder time walking due to a neuropathy.

PAUL PATRICK'S mother broke a bone in her foot and is in a cast.

SARAH HENWOOD's scoliosis is stable and does not require any surgical intervention.

CHRISTMAS CAROLING OUTREACH: Cynthia Collins is organizing a carol outing 5:00 PM 12/22 in a neighborhood of unchurched peoples. If interested, you can contact her at 849-6732.

NOVEL HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA: This year's fashion craze is the resurrected "A-shirt" AKA singlet- or by its colloquial moniker a "Wifebeater." This much maligned sleeveless garment can be easily used by either gender as a bold fashion statement, ladies swim top or simply used as an undergarment to prevent embarrassing sweat stains on costly blouses and shirts. "You don't have to be a wife beater to wear one- but it sure helps." A nice tutorial on the variations and development of "The Wifebeater" apparel can be viewed at the following link: Wifebeater Tutorial A reputable online merchant can be accessed at the following link: Mens Wife Beater Tank Top by American Apparel 3408

MORE CULTURE: A Lifebuilder contingent braved a sold out crowd to view the Will Smith blockbuster "I Am Legend." Class Kiddie Dentist, Larry "The Lobster" Dormois has posted his sage observations regarding this film on the Lifebuilder HAUTE COUTURE film review blooger site: Lifebuilder's Haute Couture Review Site
