BIRKHEAD CLASS NEWS
Welcome Massmanns!
Join with us in welcoming Justin and Emily Massmann into the fellowship of our class!
Men's Accountability Group
Men, please reply to jenrich2@netzero.net if you are interested in joining a class accountability group. Depending on the number interested, we will open the Monday night group to new members or start a new group.
AVAILABLE PLACES OF SERVICE
Care/Prayer Leaders
As we see it, we need two couples to step into this role at this time. One of our groups is getting too large for close fellowship and another needs one of the younger couples to step in and lead so that the mentor couples can focus on the job of mentoring. We're asking each couple to pray about serving our class in this way - if you're sure it's not you, then please pray for God to provide.
Remember:*God will equip you for it if He's called you to it*God will help you to order your priorities if He's calling you to it and you don't think you have enough time*It does not matter where you live, our plan is to regroup every time we need Care/Prayer Group Leaders according to where the current leaders live (thus making the group members closer and closer geographically if the class grows)
Serving in this role can be as simple as adding 5-10 minutes to your daily prayer time and 6-8 phone calls to your biweekly (every other week) schedule.
Please reply to jenrich2@netzero.net if you will serve the class in this way.
Prayer Email Assistant
We need someone to serve as a back-up person when our group prayer email person is unable to attend class. This person would need to be able to be in class by 9:30 to hear the requests and then forward them by Monday for the class members to pray over. Please reply to jenrich2@netzero.net if you will serve the class in this way.
Welcome Desk Rotational Volunteer
The Harrells need people to serve alongside them at the Welcome Desk. The job requires man/womaning the desk outside the 5th floor Criswell Center from 9:00-9:30 once a month. You would welcome people as they exit the elevators and help visitors know about available classes and their locations. Obviously you need to be approachable and willing to approach strangers to be a good fit for this job. The 4th and 5th Sundays are what need to be covered at this time.

Homecoming at First
Sunday, October 28"See actor Stephen Baldwin and hear his testimony in the morning worship services, join in a stirring worship time led by our Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra, hear our Pastor, Dr. Robert Jeffress as he teaches from the book of Philippians, meet our CenterStage worship leader, Philip Oswald, enjoy a time of reunion with friends old and new - including former Chapel Choir Director Steve Phillips and our Chapel Choir Alumni, feast on hamburgers and hot dogs during our time of fellowship Sunday evening."
The Pastor asked for each class to set an attendance goal for that Sunday which is above our highest attendance for the last year (42). Our goal is 50 people. We can easily attain the goal if most of us are in attendance and if some of us bring guests. As you consider whom to invite, think about friends, relatives, associates and neighbors that need a place of christian fellowship - particularly those who may have attended First Dallas in the past.
