Imported from Vox
As the title says, this has been a busy week. We just got back from our trip to FHU Sunday evening. We had to drive back to a different church congregation because this week also starts our area cooperative meeting. The cooperative meeting is a once-a-year event where a preacher is invited to come speak at a number of area congregations over a series of days. Traditionally, the cooperative meeting hasn't been much of an evangelistic tool as an opportunity for edification within the church. And that's fine to have something like that. It is really nice to see all people from different congregations.
This week has also really started the stress from yearbook and newspaper. The first yearbook deadline fast approaching and first newspaper will be coming out soon, which means stress for my husband and lots of extra odd and end jobs for me. It's funny, my husband was talking about how the cooperative meeting always comes at such a stressful time in the year, there's a strong temptation just not to go. Every time we do go, however, we always feel refreshed and revived. We're always glad we went. I guess that's what its supposed to do.
I'm also working on getting things ready for an outreach effort that's about to start for my church. Every year my church rents a booth at the North Georgia State Fair to raise awareness and answer questions about the Bible and the churches of Christ. If you're in the area, please stop by. Anyway, we always agonize over exactly what to have to give out to people and I usually volunteer to create some of the items that fall into the category of "wouldn't it be cool if we had..." (at this point my husband promptly volunteers me to create that). This year I've actually had a lighter load of stuff to create, just a sticker that fits the size of a mailing label, yet still looks cute. I'm also creating a kind of label card to go with a short bead craft activity for kids.
That's basically why I haven't posted much this week. I hope to be vox'ing some more in the near future.
