Sunday rocked. Great worship gathering and the Pool Party at the Carleton was an awesome time. Thanks to everyone who came out. If you missed this one keep your eyes right here on The Loop for information about the next one.

I also want to give mad props to those who took up the challenge of sitting in the front section. There are still plenty of seats available in that section so that we can make even more room for folks to be a part of Deep Water.

We round out our series in Ecclesiastes by exploring the one thing the author discovered that really does give meaning to life and why you should begin pursuing it right now.

We will be jumping back into our series on the Apostle's Creed for a week as we look at the significance of Jesus' mother Mary being a virgin. Christmas is an ideal time to invite a friend who doesn't know Jesus to come to church with you. Who should you invite to come along? When are you going to invite them?

Remember to make you purchase from the Christmas Gift Catalogue before Dec 21st and use the form that was included with it to let us know about it. This is a great chance to put what we talked about on Sunday into action. Catalogs will be available again next Sunday if you haven't had a chance to grab one yet.

We take our annual one-week break and will not be hosting a worship gathering that week. We encourage those of you who work so hard to make our Worship Gathering happen each week to enjoy a total breather. Go to church with your extended family, check out another great church and let us know what good ideas they are using, or just use it as a chance to broaden your understanding of worship by participating in a worship experience significantly different than what you are used to. We will kick off the New Year with a brand new series on January 4th.

And now you're in the loop.
