Introducing - THE CROSSPOINT. Our Weekly Newsletter.
Dan Boles
Shalom Friends,
I'm excited to share with you that we're beginning to put together a weekly newsletter. It might take us a week, or two, or three, or maybe more… to establish what goes in the newsletter, how it's formatted, etc. - but if you're patient with us, I know this will become a wonderful communication tool for CELTIC CROSS, delivering news and announcements about our ministry and what's happening, and it will certainly help reduce the number of emails you get from us.
Occasionally, we'll still have to send out the important message or two, but for the most part - our goal is to condense as much of our email communication as possible into this newsletter. Your comments, suggestions, criticisms, et al - are welcome. Just send them to celticc...@gmail.com. Be sure to invite your friends to subscribe. To subscribe, just visit our website @ www.celticcross-ksu.org.
While We Live, We Serve.
~ Dan

TNT - Every Thursday, 8:00pm, Room 314 in the Student Center. FREE DINNER included.
I hope you'll join us this evening for our weekly "Thursday Night Theology" meeting as we continue our study of Dan Kimball's "THEY LIKE JESUS, BUT NOT THE CHURCH." If you've missed the first three weeks, it's okay. You won't feel lost or left behind. Each week is centered around a specific topic. This week, the discussion will center around the question "DOES THE CHURCH RESTRICT AND OPPRESS WOMEN?"
See you there. Dinner this evening will be provided by Presbyterian Women @ Heritage Pres in Acworth.

DAN'S NEW SCHEDULE… Starts November 10th.
Amanda and I want to thank all of you personally, for your prayers; they have been answered. Amanda will be relocating to a different Pharmacy on Sunday, November 9th, which allows me to have a much more regular schedule. That means, beginning Monday, November 10th - I'll be on campus every Monday & Thursday! No more Monday/Wednesday - Tuesday/Thursday rotation & guesswork! I'll be available for on-campus appointments any time on Mondays & Thursdays from 12:00pm - 6:00pm (exceptions can be made for morning appointments if necessary).
I am truly excited about this change, and look forward to the opportunities it will bring us in our ministry at KSU!
