Spring has arrived and the pool heater has been turned on! Feel free to bring a swim suit and towel to kinship with you for a late night dip. Sadly, the Hot Tub is still offline.
We spent most of the Winter discussing the Holy Spirit.
We will continue to discuss the Holy Spirit, but we are also turning our attention to Personal Testimonies, which we hope will be a chance to get to know one another more deeply, and learn more about how God is working in all of our lives. We would like to hear from everyone, so if you haven't signed up, see Glenn or Nina and pick a date to tell us all about yourself.
We now meet on Wednesday every week.
Wedding Bells have rung for veteran ihopppper Marta and new ihopppper Alex. They have returned from their Hawaiian Honeymoon! We will be working on a web page for Alex's orphanage in St. Petersburg, so stay tuned!
We want your feedback! How could the group be improved? In particular:
Please give feedback to Glenn or Nina. Don't be scared, they want to know what you have to say - it's your group!
The first Ephesians 5:19* night (on Nov. 5th) was truly wonderful. We've done this 3 times now, and we'll continue to do so every other month or so.
Curious about our past? Check out the archive of previously upcoming events (which would be downgoing events?) known as IHOPPPP OLD NEWS!
