February 24

Hello, church family! This week we will cover chapters 11, 12 & 13. Also, we will just be eating rice for dinner. Hopefully this will put us in a new mindset, allowing us to appreciate the wonderful food we are blessed with every day. We will also be more aware of how much money we can save when we don't have a buffet for dinner. Matt and I normally would spend about $3-8 for our part of dinner so that's how much we will save on Tuesday. We will either bring the $3-8 on Tuesday to combine with other couple's savings to donate somewhere (Monica's uncle in Colorado, the Bible translating organization, etc.), keep it and consider it money that we saved, or add it to a donation going to one of the organizations that we support as a couple. Please pray about what the rice dinner means to you and your spouse and act on what you feel lead to do.

The Malouf's are providing the rice and we will have water to drink.

Can't wait to see you all this week! What a blessing you are to us!

Jill

All:

I think we should consider using our combined savings to help Stephanie with her missions trip to Africa. I think that it would be special for our group to know that we are taking care of our own. This is just my suggestion, and I think we all need to be in agreement.

I'm so thankful to be a part of this group and what God is doing. You all inspire me to strive to be more like Christ.

Monica and I are happy to host and have you over our home.
