New Beginnings

Happy First Week of School!

I hope you all had a great and restful break. Christmas break always seems to have gone by so fast when looking back on it. I want to encourage everyone as we start this new beginning of a new year and a new semester to re-center your focus. If you have not already made New Year's Resolutions, then think about what you want for your life this year. It's hard to make and stick with big changes we want to happen, but small steps are often easier and more conducive to making the right habits. Be realistic in making expectations of yourself, but be hopeful and willing to embrace change and improvement to the way you live and love. After all, we'll only live this particular year one time. Let's make it count towards something meaningful!

Announcements:

1) Home Teams (Small Groups) resume January 21st. Haven't been a part? Now's a good time to join! Click here for options http://ow.ly/gvV9k

2) Mark your calendars! FREE! Brunch is this Sunday at 10:30am in the Allen Room!

3) A new guy's Home Team is forming! We will still have the Tuesday night group, but we will now offer a Wednesday night group as well!

4) FREE! Meal resumes on January 20th! Sunday at 6pm!

Have a great day!

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

1) Bible Study this Sunday is at 10:30am in the Gym, not the Allen Room! We will also have a Christmas party with prizes, contests, and muffins! Wear your crazy Christmas sweaters!

2) There is no FREE! Meal this Sunday evening!

3) On December 11th, we will have our annual Pancake Study Break! It will be in the Fellowship Hall at 7pm. An important addition for this year is that Piano Man will be playing! It's going to be a great relaxing time so we hope everyone can make it!

Announcements and Thanksgiving! Woohoo!

Hey!

Hopefully you are all having a fantastic Thanksgiving week! I'm sure many of us will enter a food coma this week, and we may need some recovery time over the weekend. 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.

Here are some announcements!

1) Bible Study is this Sunday at 10:30am in the Allen Room! We'd love to have you!

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

3) Email us at college@pdbc.org if you want to go on the ski trip! A $150 deposit is due December 1st!

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. :)
