Raising Parents/Raising Kids
It’s ROAD TRIP time!!! Saturday and Sunday, November 9-10, the Westside church of Christ in Round Rock will be hosting a “Family Rally”. Our own Paul O’Rear will be the keynote for this event. I want to encourage all our teens to plan to go if possible. We plan to leave the church parking lot at 9:30 am. We will stop for a fast food lunch and arrive at Westside by 12:45 pm. The rally lasts from 1:00 - 6:00 pm on Saturday. We will then eat supper (provided) and divide up to our homes for the night. Sunday morning we will attend their early worship service and Bible Class following worship. We will then load up, and head back to Waxahachie. We will stop for a fast lunch on the way home. I plan to be home around 2:30 pm Sunday afternoon. You need money for lunch there and home. It will be a great weekend for all who go and participate. Invite your friends! Let’s take a bus load!!

Mark Your Calendars…
Saturday, November 16th - 3rd Annual Harvest Hunt

Thank you to everyone who came to Trunk or Treat and donated items! We had a great turn out and so very blessed that the rain stayed away until after the event! We had 27 trunks; the 2 winners of the night were the Westmorelands for their very cute clown trunk and the very impressive Lone Ranger and Tonto game trunk created by Matt Stalcup and Chad Fletcher, great job! We had several visitors that evening. Trunk or Treat is a great way to outreach to our community. Already looking forward to next year, please let myself and/or Matt Stalcup know what you liked about the night and/or what we can improve for next year.
