We are almost done!

Hey everyone! :)

We are so close to finishing the semester! I hope you all are keeping focus in what needs to be done as deadlines approach! Good luck, study hard, and do some yoga...that should help.

"Our thoughts create our reality -- where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go." -Peter McWilliams

While you're enjoying the great Thanksgivng food that awaits, here are some really great cheesy jokes to share. I'm sure they will be appreciated.

Q: In what country is Thanksgiving ironically not celebrated?
A: Turkey

Q: Why do turkeys always say gobble gobble?
A: Because they never learned good table manners!

Those are free. The rest you must find on your own.

2) There will be no FREE! Meal this Sunday evening!

Announcements and Finding the Details

Hello everyone!

Hopefully you all have been enjoying this cool weather we've been having! I think it's fantastic. Recently, I started learning how to knit. Currently, I'm knitting a baby blue scarf which will be perfect if the weather remains as is. As I've added this new skill to my repertoire, I've realized how much it has given me a curiosity for details. I'm suddenly examining all my clothes to see how the stitching fits together, and I'm paying closer attention to things and even people in hopes of finding some details I may have missed that could lead me to have a deeper understanding of everything and everyone around me.

I encourage you all to take in the details. Sometimes the details aren't important, but sometimes they lead you to something worthwhile. There are details in people's lives, and if you pay close enough attention, the details will lead you to asking good questions about the people around you, enabling you to invest more of yourself into your relationships. It's a great part of living life together.

Announcements:

1) Bible Study is Sunday at 10:30am in the Allen Room! Come join us as we continue in our series "Get Uncomfortable".

2) FREE! Meal is Sunday in the Fellowship Hall at 6pm! Come enjoy food and friends as we celebrate our Global Awareness Sunday!
 
3) Email us at college@pdbc.org if you are interested in the ski trip! The first deposit is $150 and due December 1st! It's going to be a blast!
 
4) On November 18th, there will be a Romania interest meeting for the upcoming mission trip next semester! Meet in the PDBC Café at noon!
 
5) Prayer is November 16th at John and Elya’s house! 625 Glenhaven at 7am! We hope to see you bright and early!

Have an awesome week. :)

Announcements and Being Thankful

Hey everyone!

I hope you are all having a fantastic week! I know a lot of people this month who have been listing something every day to be thankful for, whether it be on Facebook or a personal journal. I would encourage everyone to think about this every day especially for this November since Thanksgiving is coming up! We have soo much to be thankful for, and sometimes because we have so much, it's easy to forget how blessed we are, and we become more prone to a superior attitude. I hope as we all remember to be thankful, we in turn become full of joy in realizing we are blessed and able to bless others.

Announcements:

1) Bible Study is Sunday at 10:30am in the Allen Room! FREE! Brunch is also this week! See you there! :)

2) FREE! Meal is Sunday in the Fellowship Hall at 6pm! Come enjoy food and friends!

3) You can still sign up for our Spring Break Ski Trip! Email us at college@pdbc.org if you are interested! The first deposit is $150 and due December 1st! The slopes are waiting for you! :)

4) On November 18th, there will be a Romania interest meeting for the upcoming mission trip next semester! Meet in the PDBC Café at noon!

5) Prayer is November 16th at John and Elya’s house! 625 Glenhaven at 7am! We hope to see you bright and early!

6) On November 15th, there will be a Night of Worship in the Conference Center at 7am! We hope you can make it!

Have a great day!

Announcements and Living with Love

Hello everybody!

I've been thinking about the people we come across who are more difficult than most to love. There are always family and friends more similar to us than others, and they're usually easy to love and appreciate. It gets hard when we spend time with those who never see eye to eye with us. There are those who never seem to give but always want to take. Then we run across the ones who seem to live unaware of other people around them, making those people feel insignificant.

I would encourage you to pay attention to the people around you and the ones who are especially hard to love. Try to find some sort of common ground, and take it from there. We need to remember all people are the same feeling, thinking, living, breathing creatures just like us. We all have needs and wants. People crave to be loved, so try to understand that even when someone is hard to love, you never know how much they might desperately need it.

"Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained." -C.S. Lewis

And now for announcements:

1) There will still be Bible Study for those not attending Camp Eagle this weekend! Meet at 10:30am on Sunday in the Allen Room!

2) There is no FREE! Meal this week! It’ll be back November 11th!

3) You can still sign up for our Spring Break Ski Trip! Email us at college@pdbc.org if you are interested! The first deposit is $150 and due December 1st! The slopes are waiting for you! :)

4) On November 18th, there will be a Romania interest meeting for the upcoming mission trip next semester! Meet in the PDBC Café at noon!
