Update for July 25, 2010


I have two homework assignments for you! That's right: homework in July!

1. Our one-time intern, Joey Brinkley, taught a fantastic lesson one year ago that gives wonderful advice to college students--particularly freshmen. Read it here. Seriously. It's funny, and you'll get a lot out of it. Besides, there might even be a quiz on Sunday. ;-)

2. Follow the SMBC College Community on Facebook, Twitter, and our blog. You can keep up with prayer requests, events, and photos -- but, more importantly, we can keep up with you! We love you and want to know what's going on in your lives, so please connect with us so that we can stay connected with you, too.


Announcements

South Main's 2010 Bach to Broadway cast presents South Pacific on August 12-14 at 7:30pm and August 15 at 2:00pm. Tickets are available at smbc.org.

Ever wanted to be a part of the Guinness Book of World Records? Your chance is coming on Saturday, August 21 from 9:00am to 2:00pm (plus free dumplings for lunch!). Volunteer to come to the church to create the world's longest chain of shoes, all of which will be donated to orphaned and at-risk children through the Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls program by signing up here. South Main is currently celebrating it's 10th year of participating in this wonderful project, which has provided over 1.8 million shoes for orphans as far away as Guatemala, Kenya, and Peru. Also, if you have any ideas of what we should spell out with the shoe chain in the parking lot, send it to solechain@smbc.org by TOMORROW July 29. Follow this exciting event on Facebook and Twitter.

If you're looking for another opportunity to participate in a thought-provoking Bible study, head to the Fellowship Hall every Wednesday at 6:30 to hear Steve give a great lesson. Dinner is served between 5:00 and 6:00pm.


Prayer Requests and Praises

This past Sunday was the last in Houston for both Virginia and Adeola. Good luck at Vanderbilt and in Mississippi, ladies! Know that we love you, are praying for you, and hope to see you again! Please keep in touch!

Pray for Rachel's friend Andy; he is going through a difficult time and is under much stress.

Robyn's father has a clot in his left thigh and is in the hospital for treatment. Pray for a good outcome.
