|
|
|
Coming Attractions...
This week - Nov 22:
There's no Fount this week since it's Thanksgiving.
Enjoy the holiday, and we'll see you when we all
get back!
Next Week - Nov 29th:
Slight change of plans. Instead of having Worship
in the Park, Beau Hughes (the new college pastor) is
going to be talking, so
if you didn't get a chance to meet him last week,
come out to meet him on Nov 29th! Since we're not
going to have Worship in the Park,
WE WILL BE CHANGING THE LOCATION. Be sure to check
your e-mail between now and then to find out where
we're going to be meeting on Nov 29th.

Thanksgiving Lunch for the Nations |
|
|
|
A Message from Melissa Martinez
Hey, friends!
I am having a
mini-Thanksgiving lunch
for some of my international friends this Thursday
the 23rd and you are invited to participate. I know
that most of you will be out of town with family but
you can still be involved.
I'm sure you all understand that most international
students aren't able to fly home for such a short
holiday, so I wanted to provide something that would
make them feel special on this day where most people
are with their families. Even if you can't come you
can still be involved by simply inviting an
international friend or just by letting them know
about it.
Its a pot-luck deal where everyone is bringing a
little something, but I will get the turkey!! It
will be a time of hanging out, eating, giving
thanks, and playing some fun games!!
When: Thurs. Nov 23rd
Where: 3653 Briargrove Ln.
#1031 Dallas 75287
Time: from 11:30-3:00
If you are interested in participating, here are
ways you can help:
- COME!! and love on these people with me!
- Come and bring an international friend with you!
- I am gong to UNT that morning to pick up some
friends and I could use an extra car to help carpool
them to my apartment in North Dallas (many students
from overseas dont have their own cars).
-make a dish or dessert and drop it off!
- invite any international students you know and
give them my number. I'll find a way to get them here.
Contact info:
214 288 3011 (this is the best way to reach me) OR
email me at Lissa4Christ@hotmail.com
Thanks,
Melissa Martinez

Broomball is coming... |
|
|
|
SAVE THE DATE!!
On December
15th,
we're going to the
Dr. Pepper Star Center in Grapevine to play
broomball on the ice!
Broomball is a lot like hockey, with two nets and
two teams out on the ice trying to score goals.
Instead of hockey sticks and pucks, players use
broomsticks and a rubber ball! You wear your street
shoes and clothes on the ice, not hockey gear and
skates. The ice is cut a special way, so it won't be
as slippery as usual.
Mark your calendars, and watch for more details,
coming soon!

So hopefully everybody is aware by now that the
Village[U] has a MySpace page...
We would really like it if you would subscribe to
our blog on MySpace so you get automatic notices
when we post something new and need to distribute
info & news right away.
All you have to do is click
here, and when the link takes you to our
MySpace page, click on "Subscribe to this Blog" on
the right-hand side of the page. Just follow the
directions from there (you'll have to sign in), and
you'll start getting notices when we post new info!
Handy, right??

This week we'll be gathering again for Worship in
the Park at Shrader Pavilion behind the UNT
University Union. Come and gives praises to Him
together out in the fresh air and under the
stars.
The Fount is our weekly large group gathering,
worship time and study time which also serves as our
weekly catalyst event to find out more about the
college ministry.
Next Week: November 8th, Silver Eagle C Room in the
University Union at UNT
Flipside, Nov. 4th
Grills & Guitars @ Eureka Park (South Lakes Park)
Join us as we grill some meat (and veggie burger/soy
product/eggplant) and enjoy some live music by some
of our own. Just a kick-back Saturday evening. We
will get started around 6pm.
I need some of you to help me grill, do some
shopping and play us some music. Harmonicas and
djembes are welcome to join us. Email me at jvanhorn@thevillagechurch.net
if you can help.

Summer
Leadership Program
We have many new things on tap for
the summer and upcoming school year and we need you to pull it off. This will be a great opportunity for you to participate in shaping the college ministry this coming year. We will
have opportunities for leadership in home groups, international students
outreach, collegiate men’s and women’s ministries, events, athletics and we will have many
opportunities for service in an entirely reworked, rescheduled, and relocated
collegiate bible study in the fall. We will need A/V people, musicians,
vocalists, etc.
What will we do in the Summer
Leadership Program? We will spend some time on vision casting, what it means to
be a leader, identifying your gifts, and equipping you for your ministry.
Afterwards we will spend some time hanging out and growing together. Maybe the
Tomato, play some ultimate, or just walk the campus in
prayer.

response with a few specific questions. This will help us in determining your
giftings, passions, and to make sure you know what you are getting yourself
into. | | |
