Come and hear her goals, passions and experiences in life that have brought her to this point. Join the Lisa Harst for 2009  Homecoming Queen Group on facebook.

How is your week going, did any of you lose electricity on Monday evening? That was an amazingly strong storm. I woke up this morning thinking about the many ways we see God in our lives and after that storm it is obvious that our God is a strong and powerful God. I know today though I am asking God for His peace, how about you?
If you think about it tonight please pray for Kimmie, Kaley, Becca and Seth as they travel to Little Rock to mentor and tutor students in one of the five housing projects in Little Rock. Thanks you guys for being the hands and feet of Jesus over the next 6 weeks. love serve live, that’s what we are all about.

Here are the events of the week:

• This Wednesday, Sept. 23rd at 8pm tf is hosting the Gathering. We will again meet in the Fellowship of Christians Auditorium. Our tf worship band will be led this week by Roger Norman. CJ and Allie will be in South Carolina preparing for their wedding on Saturday. Congratulations, we love you both. This week we are going to take some time and write letters to our kids in India, we will follow this up with a time of prayer for each of the kids. Prayer, personal ministry, fellowship, exchanging truth and testimony will always be apart of every Gathering. Hope to see you there.
• On Saturday tf is hosting a tailgate party. We meet in the grass field beside Williamson; look for the green, circle tf sign.  Food is delivered from Wonderboys Pizza at 4pm. Come and hang out before the game, bring a friend and enjoy some time to relax. If rain is apart of the day, watch facebook to see if the party has been cancelled. It is also Family Day at this weeks game so there will be plenty going on before the game. Kickoff is 6pm against UAM.

God Bless You Today!

These two words represent the heart of Tech Fellowship. Loving God, Loving People. Serving God by Serving People. We believe this is a simple formula for living life to its fullest.
Last week at the Gathering the Body of Christ was at its best. We spent time in worship of God and listening to His voice and then in serving each other in prayer, ministry and the mutual exchange of truth. This week we get to serve others, more to come on that in a moment.

Here is the news and updates for the week:

• If you are interested in a child care job at Fellowship of Christians please contact me. Our childrens director is looking to fill some paid child care positions.
• The offering for our kids in India has been very generous. Thank you so much for giving. It was fun to read the kids letters last week. At our next Gathering we will have the opportunity to write more letters and maybe send some small gifts. I have a niece that is living at the home right now. Her name is Kristen Palmer and you can find her on Facebook. She is on my friends list or you can find her on your own. This would be a neat way to get weekly updates and pictures of our kids.
• This Wednesday, Sept. 16th we have the opportunity to serve the people of the Atkins Care Center. As you might know we had a group of 8 tf students go two weeks ago and it was a wonderful experience. If you are able to go this week you can meet at the Fellowship of Christians parking lot at 5:30pm and car pool. You will be blessed, I promise.
• Last week at the Gathering we had the chance to nominate 3 tf girls as potential representatives for tf at Homecoming. After meeting with the girls, two decided that they did not want to proceed any further and this left one nominee. Lisa Harst will be submitted as the tf Homecoming Nominee!  Congratulations Lisa! Lisa is a Vocal Music Education Major from Hot Springs, Ar. Lisa has been involved in tf now for 3 semesters. Over the next few weeks we will share more information regarding Lisa’s passions, gifts and goals.

Thanks for taking some time to keep up to date with Tech Fellowship. We value our friendships with you. Stay in contact and have a great week.

How many of you got up this morning after a three day weekend and found November on your calender and began a countdown till Thanksgiving Break? It seems far away but we all know how quick it will be here.
I want to take some time this week and update some of the things that we have going on in Tech Fellowship. I look forward each week to the opportunity to stay in contact with you through this post on the tf website.

• Make plans to purchase one of the new tf t-shirts that are available this year. They are $5 each, the best t-shirt deal in Russellville. We will have them available at the Gathering this week.
• As a Student Organization at TECH we have the opportunity to nominate one female student to the Homecoming Court. A nominee must have accumulative 2.5 GPA or higher and completed a minimum of 60 credit hours. They must be a full time student and in good standing with the University. tf has to turn in our nominee by Sept.18th. At the Gathering this week we will take nominations and vote. If you have a nomination before the Gathering please let me know in an email. This is a wonderful chance to highlight one of the many great girls in Tech Fellowship.
• I hope that you are aware that tf supports 6 young orphan students in India. God called us to invest in their lives through the Boys and Girls Christian Home of India. At the Gathering we will take an offering for the kids. Our monthly goal to raise is $180. Pray about how you can be apart of these kids lives by giving a financial gift.
• This Wednesday, September 9th  is our second worship Gathering. We will meet at the Fellowhship of Christians Auditorium at 8pm. The band will lead in worship, there will be time for testimony and prayer as well as truth from God and His Word. We will also have a representative from the Gideons with us and time to discuss our FOCUS Bible Study that begins this Sunday, September 13th at 9am. We look forward to seeing you.
• We meet every Monday in Doc’s Place for prayer at 7am.

It was great to see those that made it to the first tailgate party on Saturday, thanks for hanging out with us. We will do it again on September 26th. Make plans to party with us and then cheer TECH on to a win over Monticello.

I hope that at this point you have been able to find a flow to your week. Summer is officially out of our systems and we can find some peace with a schedule again. It is nice though that we have a three day weekend coming, no complaints from me.
It was great to see many of you last week at the Gathering. We had a wonderful night together as the Body of Christ. The next one  is coming Sept 9th, make plans to be there. We hope to see all of you in our nights of corporate worship.

Here are a few ways that you can hang-out with Tech Fellowship this week:

• This wednesday, Sept 2nd we have a service project at the Atkins Care Center. This is a time to meet the elderly people and be a bright spot in their day. Bring an instument to play, a story to read or tell, questions to ask, a small craft or game and of course the more hugs and smiles the better. We will meet in the Fellowship of Christians parking lot at 5:30pm and car pool together. Everyone can plan on being back in Russellville by 7:30pm. Come with us as we give ourselves away.
• Saturday is Tech’s first home football game. Tech Fellowship will have a tailgate party before every home game. You can find us in the field beside the Williamson Bldg. at 3pm. We will eat around 4pm, all the food and drinks are free so come and enjoy some time together. Look for the white tent with the green tf sign, hope to see you there. Kickoff for the game is 6pm.
• With this being Labor Day Weekend I know many of you will go home to be with family, please be safe and have fun. If you are in town on Sunday we would love to have you worship with us at 10:30 in the Fellowship of Christians Auditorium. Also, there will be no Monday Prayer in Doc’s Place because of classes on campus being cancelled for the holiday.

Have a great week and please contact me if you need anything.
