It's A New Season

[Marah Banks]

Hello TFBC8 or TFBC6 or "not quite TFBC but still 6 (or 12 if you count the current number of offspring)",

We are writing to inform the group that we have decided to no longer participate in our bi-weekly small group meetings at this season in our lives. We have discussed and prayed about this for a while and have come to a realization that we should invest more time with growing relationships in our new church family. We also believe it is unwise to over-schedule our weekly commitments. We have begun this relationship building process by signing up to host a weekly small group study at our house. 

We have enjoyed growing with you in our small group and we were thinking if it's possible, that we can continue to meet on a monthly basis. Most likely on an available Saturday instead of a week night and not in the traditional small group setting. Maybe a game night, park play day, water park adventure... This doesn't mean we don't like you guys as much, indeed it's quite the contrary. We love you guys very much and are grateful for the times we have shared together. 

We also would like to keep this email alias (or even create a new one that best describes us now) for sharing prayer requests and praise reports (and other random things) as the intercessory prayers have been quite effective. We thank God for you all!

Love,

The Banks

Did she just hit us with the, "it's not you, it's me" speech. Just joking!!!

We respect your decision and look forward to still kicking it every month. 😀

Good evening all,

The Mays' completely understand the decision that you all have made. We truly believe that each of our lives have been greatly enriched and blessed time that we have spent together. We have grown to be great friends and I know that we will only grow stronger from this time on. We look forward to doing things together as our family's continue to grow. Love you all.

The Mays

We are sad but also completely understand. We very much would like to continue to get together for fellowship once a month. Friday evenings or Saturdays work good for us. Should we go ahead and pick a set day each month (le - First Fridays or Second Saturdays, etc.) to carve room out in our schedules?

I personally like Saturdays better... Saturday, March 19th works for my family.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

March 19th works for the Banks. So can we schedule every 3rd Saturday of the month? We are good with any event between the hours of 11am and 6pm (roughly).

[Janise Cookston]

I think that works for us too. Let me check with Chris this evening and get back with y'all.

3rd Saturday is April does not work for us, April 30th works best for us.

[Mr. Rhyan Mays]

The Mays are unavailable on March 19th, Candice reminded me of a dinner party we already committed to. My apologies everyone.

[Chris Cookston]

How about the 26th? We're available that day.

[Marah Banks]

Banks will be "leaving on a jet plane" that day. Maybe we do a Friday evening this month? How about dinner at the Banks? Any Friday besides the 25th works for us.

[Janise Cookston]

We can do Friday the 18th.

[Aaron Banks]

Mays, are you guys good with dinner at the Banks home on Friday, March 18th?

[Mr. Rhyan Mays]

Yes. The Mays are available for dinner on March 18.

[Aaron Banks]

Awesome! Can you all be here for 6pm? Kids encouraged to be in attendance. Your kids though, no one else's.

[Janise Cookston]

We can do 6.

[Mr. Rhyan Mays]

We can do 6 as well.
