Upcoming Activities And Thanksgiving

THIS WEEK AT THE GRAF HOUSE

Friday Night Dinner and Study: Our potluck theme is "Comfort Foods" which such be nice for our grey, rainy weather! Bring your Bibles for some crazy-talk about lostness...

Sunday Night Football: Join us Sunday from 7-9pm to watch one of the "early" NFL games. This will be a "ohne Kinder" night--that is German for "without your kids!" Please find a babysitter or a friend to watch your kiddos and then come join us!

Thanksgiving Festivities

Wednesday

7pm: Young Adult Contemporary Service as normally held in the Graf Chapel Annex

Thursday

5:00pm Thanksgiving Dinner! Come enjoy turkey and all the fixings! Please RSVP so we know how many to anticipate (but if you find a soldier in the barracks on Thanksgiving morning, bring him or her along even if you hadn't RSVP'd.)

6:30pm: Watch the Patriots and Lions on the big screen.

Friday

2:30-5:30pm: Adult Sport Day--Meet at the Graf House and we will go to a nearby field to play some soccer, ultimate football, flag football, etc. Kids are welcome to come watch but they will need to be supervised by a parent not participating in the activity.

5:30-7:30pm: Party to celebrate the engagement of Nick and Alexis. We will have light snack foods to eat as you hang out, play cards or board games, and enjoy being together. There will be the opportunity for you to help them get ready for married life by purchasing a Pampered Chef item but by no means do you have to. (You can also buy Pampered Chef things as a Christmas present for your wife, parents, etc. Shopping made easy.)

Saturday

2:00 Leave the Graf Chapel for the Gutteneck Medieval Christmas Market. This is a really fun Christmas market about 45 minutes away that the whole family will enjoy. We will leave at 2pm sharp because the parade starts at 3pm. The market costs approximately 4 Euros to enter.

Sunday

10:30 Chapel (No Sunday School or AWANA's)

11:30 Brunch at the DFAC

To Know And Follow Hard After You

My prayer for Aimee and myself. For our boys. For those God brings into our lives.

This Week at The Graf House

For some reason my email is not wanting to send a mass letter this week. Did the postage rates go up? So here is what is happening this weekend:

Fall Work Day

The forecast for Saturday is partly cloudy with a high of 59 degrees! That is almost summer-like for this time in Bavaria. And what can you do with such fine weather? Glad you asked! You can come out to The Graf House and do some yard work! We are having our fall work-day at The Graf House this Saturday and would love anyone's help. Lots of trimming of bushes, raking leaves, cleaning out the garden, etc. We will begin working around 10:00 am and will be going throughout the day until approximately 4:00. Please drop in for a couple hours whenever it works for you. Aimee will be providing lunch around noon.

Friday Night Dinner and Study

Our dinner theme is "Breakfast for Dinner". For our lesson we will begin looking at some of the "lukewarm" characteristics that Francis Chan talks about in his book Crazy Love. If you haven't read this part I would highly encourage you to read the first few chapters and then this chapter as well. My hope is that everything about our night will not be lukewarm but will be on fire and passionate for the glory of Jesus Christ.

Blessings!
