MANIX RESIDENCE MANANA(Tomorrow)

Hey Everyone,

I put the wrong residence in the Grapevine AND I didn't put anything about 707 in this months Geneva Press. I am sorry. I have no excuse, unless you want one.....
I am really excited about the Manix house tomorrow night. It might be tight if we are inside, and it might be freezing if we are outside, so prepare for the worst.

Tomorrow - theme for December- STRENGTH
Attendance - Rebecca thanks for doing this every week. We are starting to get a huge mailing list.
Video - Hey Jason, Will has a new Zultan Parkour video on youtube, would you have time to burn it and bring it?
Games - Rebecca and I will bring games to dinner, Mike, you run the games! We really need to work on getting the kids to mingle with other kids. The last few games were GREAT!!
Questions by Herrick - New Idea, Herrick, come up with a total of 3 really hard trivia multiple choice questions, something you are teaching in your class right now. I'll bring 3 really good prizes for people to choose from... Christmas present time.....probably from the dollar store.
Skit- Jason, see if there are any we could do from the books that have Strength as the theme.
Impossible Shot - Jason..... have the students give their name, school, grade, extra curricular activities they are involved in, if they have any pets and then tell them to finish this sentence. The last time I laughed at myself for doing something dumb or funny was.....then they toss.
Testimony on Strength - Dave Capelle. You are up. We'll talk.
Songs to Close- Colin, you are on!

Things to discuss at our 5:30 leader dinner:
1. Christmas Party, Where, When, What do we do?
2. Testimony schedule...
3. Camp. Who wants to go? January 23-25th.
4. Fundraisers for camp.... ideas?

Great Job on Tuesday.....

Great job everyone on Tuesday. Herrick, the Lord used you.

This Sunday, Anne, Dave, Jason and I will be gone. Colin, it's all you buddy. Good luck. Hopefully Mike Heydenrych will be back, but doubt it. Thanks again for taking the group. Do a game, a BUNCH of songs and then a quick study. Make sure all kids are out of the room before you leave, that gives Jonathon less chance to get into trouble.

Mary know's where the attendance folders are in my box. Watt, Becca and Herrick, if you are available, I bet Colin would love the support.

See you next week!! Hast My Vista, Baby!

Mark

5 new kids last tuesday, more sure to come....

Rebecca, you did a great job sharing your heart and getting these kids used to hearing the good news of Jesus! Thanks. Really. Thanks. This week you are on Attendance sheet, we need to get every kid to sign the clip board. This is your one and most important task!

Jason, awesome impossible shot... let's come up with a list of interrogation questions before you give them an opportunity to take the shot..... like, for the person who brought the friend, "What number is this friend out of your top ten?" and for the new kid, "if you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be and why?" stuff like that.... I'll make you a list for Tuesday..... thanks for doing power point, I wonder if you are getting tired of it since you do it alllll the time. And yes, Dave and I did nothing on the skit.....

Colin, GREAT JOB AGAIN.... Will did want songs we all knew so he could sing along.... perhaps some easy ones, from the old days, Supertones, Found, Nebraska, Led Zeppelin,,,,, stuff like that.....Worship was great.....

Herrick, Mike Heydenrych is doing games so he'll use your new easier questions for his trivia game. You focus on your 15-17 minute story/testimony with some verses from the Bible.....

Anne and Dave, NEW FLIERS!!!! This is our last week at the Godfreys, we need hard copies and digital copies to send to everyone for the Levegoods!!!

Watt, be prepared to act, dance, hang out and be entertained!!!!

Skit! Anne and I could work on it tomorrow night. Dave, Jason, let me know if you have any direction. Other than that, Anne and I had some fun ideas..... we just need a movie theme....

Love to you all,

Mark

Night One...A Complete Success

Hey guys, Mark here.
I want you to know how wonderful a job you all did. From Herrick's improvisation during our scene from the 300 to Colin's performance. I was very excited and I felt all of our hard work paid off. Thanks to Becca, Mike Hey and Dave for their outstanding roles in the drama and to Anne and Jason for making me look like the guy who got the girl!

NEXT WEEK's to do list:
Jason, GREAT VIDEO for the impossible shot!!! Thanks so much for making that.... next week, since we know there will be new kids, let's make the actual shot part longer, have kids introduce their friends(we originally wanted to do it during the intro game, but I think it would be best to have the friends do it, especially since we are giving them money if they make it!) also have everyone drum roll and possibly count down.... apply pressure! Maybe move it a bit closer...a little LESS impossible - especially since we're dealing with the low fan in the middle of the room.

Jason and Dave working on a skit, probably from IRON MAN....fewer leaders involved do to stage size, perhaps a bit longer with some more improved lines....use Watt!

Herrick, trivia questions for the kids, perhaps 6 questions, I'll come up with a game to use them in.

Mike Heydenrych, just be on time.

Colin, GREAT JOB, you get better and better each time you play, thanks for doing it.... a song I thought that would be fun is ...... Realize by Colbie Caillat.

Becca, Let's work on your testimony on Sunday....

Watt, be prepared to act. You're making a fool of yourself this week!

Anne, organize some other parents to bring treats.... get Dave to make the next fliers so we're not scrambling!

That's it, see you at 5:30 on Tuesday at our house for our prep meeting.

Thanks again for everything,
Mark
