Peoria Invite

I just got this from Megan Kieser. She asked me to post it on here. Please read and respond appropriately.Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Greetings in our Lord’s name!  Over the past few weeks there has been some discussion among the brethren in the Peoria Young Group about how we can help unify our young groups as a whole.  Prayer was definitely the most important thing we came up with!  UNCEASING PRAYER is going to be required.  Through much prayer, meditation and discussion we’ve decided something else that might help unify our young groups further is fellowshipping together more.  To make things run a little smoother the Peoria Young Group has decided to host an invite.  It is our wish that your entire young group prayerfully considers joining us the weekend of May 6 and 7.  Enclosed is a tentative schedule for the weekend.  May God bless you give this prayerful consideration!
 
In planning a large invite such as we are; the Peoria Young Group is going to need the cooperation of everyone attending.  Some of the things we are requesting from those attending the following:

1) Even if you’re deciding to NOT join us this weekend, we ask and plead that you keep us in your prayers.
 
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”  Philippians 4:6
 
 
2) Number of those attending.
 
I know it is quite some time before this takes place and schedules change, but we need numbers so we can plan for accommodations and food.
 
3) Shirt sizes of everyone attending.
 
Sounds funny, I know.  Brother Jon Ringger from our Bluffton congregation has been willing to make t-shirts for us so anyone wanting a shirt should give their names and sizes ahead of time, since we aren’t going to be ordering many extras.  They will be $10.
 
4) When your group is attending.
 
As stated below, there will be accommodations available for anyone to come Friday if they so chose.  But, if you do you MUST let us know so we can have places ready.
 
 
I believe this is about all of now.  Once again, PLEASE keep this weekend in your prayers, even if you don’t wish to join us.  Pray that each one of us is willing to serve God and each other in all that we do.
 
 
By His Grace,
The Peoria Young Group

SIDE NOTES
We don’t know yet what the work projects will be.  Most likely we will do some cleaning at the church and fellowship hall and quite possibly at some older brothers and sisters houses.  We also in the past have gone to our home on Skyline Drive to clean, sing, and fellowship with our residents there.  As the date gets closer we will know for sure where our services are needed most.
