TIGS meeting schedule is online!

Want to see what we're doing in a few weeks? Want to see what we've done in the past year? I've uploaded the spreadsheet, so you can look at it at any time.

By the way, if any parents from last night's meeting are reading this, the schedule that I handed out last night was (unbeknownst to myself at the time) incorrect. This spreadsheet should be up-to-date, though.

Expelled--Do you want to watch it with us?

The new documentary "Expelled" opened last weekend. It has drawn much praise from Christians and much ire from non-Christians.

Why? Because its basic message is that if you teach/mention Intelligent Design, people will try to silence you and maybe fire you.

The official "Expelled" site has some trailers up; if you watch just one, I'd recommend the "Super Trailer."

Some of the sponsors were talking about going to see it, so if you want to see it with us, let us know!

True story

Sunday morning, April 20:

"Okay, Daddy," the junior high student said.

The woman had been walking past them, but she suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned around. "Did I hear that right?"

"Uhh.....Uhh...."

:) Hilarious!

I finally unloaded the TIGS Winter Outing stuff from my digicam onto my computer. Here's a sneak peek:

"You Are Good" free download

Per the rules of getting the CD for free, I'm currently (slowly) reviewing the new SGM album You and You Alone. SGM is offering the song "You Are Good," which is probably one of the better tracks on the album, as a free download.

By the way, I'll be introducing a new song from this album this Friday called "Lord, You Are Gracious." It's my favorite track from the album, and it juxtaposes God's declaration of His character in Exodus 34:6-7 with Jesus' death. The first time I heard the song, I immediately thought it beautiful and wanted to sing along.

I think the song will fit in well with our "Loving Others Unconditionally" series.

A secret gift for the TIGers!

This past Friday on my way home from TIGS, I thought of a gift that I want to give all of you to take home. I'm not telling you in advance what it is! :) I think I'll probably distribute these at TIGS next Friday (April 11).

Hint: It's not very hip, but I think you'll like it! :)
