Computer Crash

Hey all! A few days ago my laptop crashed. While its at the computer hospital I'm going to need a huge favor from you...well its not really huge. Its pretty small actually. I'm going to need you to email me at hightide@cypressmeadows.org so I have your contact information. Just make sure you put your name in the subject line or somewhere in the email. Thanks!

This way you won't miss out on any important information over the next couple of weeks!!

PS Winter Retreat is around the corner. We're camping in Ocala and the total cost of the trip is $140. I need the money in my hand by Friday, January 9th!! Save that Christmas cash:)

Glen Oaks Trip

Thank you THANK YOU to BP, Courtney, Kelly, Layton, Sarah, Jessica, Zach, and Gerry who graciously and selflessly donated their Tuesday night to visit the residents at Glen Oaks nursing home.

I have to say that I was a bit concerned going in for a couple of reasons...

1. By 5:00 pm I hadn't heard from one single person that was going so I thought it was just going to be me!
2. After we left at 6:10 it took us until 7:00 to find Glen Oaks because Google maps STINK and didn't get us where we needed to go.
3. When we finally got there and I caught up with Kelly's group they were so nervous about going I thought they were gonna bolt!

However, I was so overwhelmed with pride when we got to the dining room and the students took ownership of the event and got in there and spread a whole lot of grace to the residents that had been so looking forward to visitors!

Thank you guys! You are the reason I love my job:) Way to go!! You've made a difference in someones life!

PS I'll post your fantastic pics later tonight;)

Get your 80s on!!

Well, its official! It is now December which means the High Tide Christmas Experience 2008 is coming up soon!

Last Sunday night the masses voted on the theme of this year's experience which will be (drum roll please)...

CHRISTMAS IN 1985!

Fashion was hot, hair was big, and neon was rad!

The party will be held on Sunday, December 21st immediately following the 6 pm service. We should get started by 8 and the party will be over at 10. There will be music, food, games, a bonfire, and lots of prizes including BEST 80S OUTFIT!

Instead of doing a white elephant gift this year, everyone is encouraged to bring $10 so that as a group we can sponser one of the kids that Molly and Joe will be bringing into the orphanage this coming year. If we all bring $10 we could suppy everything that student needs for more than a year!!

I'm already working on my costume...you should be too!
