Things are coming together

The Amtrak reservation has been made and the deposit for tickets has been paid.

Rental vehicles are reserved and ready.

Berean Bible church has us on their list and is ready to host us again.

The Easter offering contributed only about $2,000 into the NOLA account and the spaghetti dinner netted just over $700. We have not turned in the bottles yet so we're not sure what we have there but I estimate maybe $200.

We will plan to have lunch as a team at our house Sunday, April 13 after we deal with the bottles and cans from the morning.

Also, be sure to have these NOLA team events on your schedule:
April 13 - Bottle drive - team lunch at Linscott's house
April 15 - Deadline for sponsor money due
April 23-25, 8 am - 3 pm - Service Project - scraping, painting, cleanup (a great opportunity to serve together)
May 11 - Bottle Drive
May 23-24 - Yardsale/Car wash
Sun, June 1 - 8:45 am Training Session
Sun, June 8 - 8:45 am Training Session
Sat, June 14 8-4:00 PM - Team training day - mandatory attendance
Sun., June 15 - Bottle drive collecting in morning services
Sun., June 15 - 8:45 am Training Session
Sun., June 22 - 5:00 pm Team cookout fundraiser and Commissioning

Be sure to get your prayer partners set. We will be putting the list together at our April 13 lunch meeting.

I am curious to see what God has planned for us this year! Our team is a bit different than I would have assembled in that we don't have as many "experienced builders" as I would have liked but that may mean that God has some different challenges for us.

We are in very capable hands with contractors Ben and Dan and we're much more experienced than we were last year.

Blessings!
