FURNACE UPDATES 0CT 29,2009

ATTENTION FURNACE:


Below is a list of updates for all Furnace members. We will do our best to over-communicate all the information that you need in the upcoming weeks.
If you have any questions please feel free to email anyone on our Furnace staff and associate staff. I have included the email for the best person to contact for each announcement.

1. TOUR UPDATES (abrammer@newlifechurch.org):
We will be having a brief tour update meeting next Tuesday following Revival Town in room 107. It is very important that everyone going on tour be at this meeting as we will be going over protocol, responsibilities, and answering questions. If you are unable to make it please let us know as soon as possible.

***A tour packing list is attached to this email.

2. PRAYER MEETING SCHEDULE FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS (djperkins@newlifechurch.org):
Due to Furnace Tour, the next couple of weeks will look a little different when it comes to your 6 hours of prayer commitment. This week, Oct 30-Nov 5, will be a normal week. Everyone will need to do their 2 prayer meetings and 2 hours in the prayer room (even those going on tour). The following week, Nov 6-12, will be a the week that many of us will be gone (including most of the prayer leaders and bands); therefore, prayer meetings will look different. For all of you that will be in town over tour you may do your regular schedule or you can do up to all 6 hours in the prayer room (basically 3 options: 2 corporate & 2 FPR hours, 1 corporate & 4 FPR hours or 6 FPR hours). All corporate prayer meetings will take place at their regular times, however, they will not have a band and will meet in the FPR.
Reminder: ALL PRAYER MEETINGS WILL BE IN THE FURNACE PRAYER ROOM DURING THE WEEK OF NOV. 6-12. THERE WILL BE A GATHERING PRAYER MEETING ON THURSDAY, NOV. 5.

3. HALLOWEEN FOR THE HUNGRY (jnewby@newlifechurch.org):
On Saturday, October 31st, we are going to have a Furnace food-drive. Arrive at the WPC at 6 PM in order to go to area neighborhoods collecting canned food to donate for the hungry. All food will be donates to those in need.
We will all meet back together at 8pm at the New Life Church Ranch in order to pile high the donations and have a good ol’ costume party. We will have games, smores, beverages and good times. Of course it wouldn’t be a costume party without a “best costume” award. Please bring a snack to share.

Directions will be available upon arrival.

***costumes are optional for the food drive, but not at the after party ;-).

4. MISSIONS (djperkins@newlifechurch.org):
Finally, many of you have asked if theFurnace is going on missions this year. If you are interested in going on a short-term missions trip we highly recommend you joining one of theMILL missions teams. However, we are in discussions about doing an oversees Revival History trip over spring break. This trip would be a chance to go to the settings of historical revivals such as Hernhutt, Germany (Moravians), Whales (Welsh Revival), London, England (Holy Club) and more. This trip would be an opportunity to pray for revival in this generation the way that it has hit past generations. More details to come.


5. GET $100 (aperkins@newlifechurch.org):
All Furnace members that join DLA will get $100 off their tuition. Also, you can get $100 off of your spring Furnace tuition by getting a friend to join DLA this January or by recommending a family that becomes a Home Sponsor. Please email Amy Perkins at aperkins@newlifechurch.org with questions or Home Sponsor recommendations.

6. ATTENTION WOMEN (kedgett@newlifechurch.org):
The Women’s Connect will be this Sunday at 11:15 am in the WPC Chapel, it is mandatory and counts as your church service.

7. ATTENTION MEN (mtimmermeyer@newlifechurch.org):
We are going to do two Men’s Connect times this semester. They will be Sunday, November 15th and Sunday, December 6th. These will be mandatory events and will count as your weekly church service. More details to come.
