November Updates

 Happy Fall guys! I am so grateful for you all and for this season of gratitude. Thanksgiving is right around the corner which is for sure my favorite holiday, I love the parade and just getting to be around family. I also enjoyed the spooky season we just went through, and getting to dress up! Let me show you all what are students have been up to. 

Reminders! 

If you sent in your donation by mailing a check this summer and it has already been processed can you please double check the endorsement. Over the summer we had  a situation with someone who stole some checks out of our mailbox, we have since set up a PO Box and are putting even more security in place. If you gave a check from May - July and believe it to be cashed, or think it was maybe stolen please message me so that we can talk through the solution so you can get that money back. All banks should be insured through the FDIC which should protect you in this case.  I do need you to contact me or contact our admin team, the best way to do that is email. Email Paul at paul@anyfocus.org

Halloween TNF 

We had a Halloween Party after Thursday  Night Fellowship and so everyone came dressed in costume. We did a staff costume of SpongeBob, I was Pearl Krabs.  It was funny getting to see people do announcements, sermons, and sit there with costumes on!

CORE VIBES 

In the right corner is my sweet friend Cassidy who I get to meet up with every Wednesday from core. We were doing a double feature Hocus Pocus movie night at her apartment. She is awesome. 

Then in the bottom left corner is Ashley who I love and feel so lucky to have in my core for two years now. She is also a Swiftie like me! We were partying at the Midnights release party  we put on for our community as an after event! Notice us in our matching T. Swift Cardigans! 

The rest of us are from the joint core we did Monday where we did a mummy fashion contest for Halloween! 

Sweet Ministry Moments 

This is my boss, friend, and just all around great person Sarah! I have been able to meet with her for close to a year and a half now and it just has developed a really sweet friendship. I am just super grateful for getting to spend time with her weekly. 

My roommate and friend get to outreach together about once or twice a month when I am not doing it at TCC. So when we got to do it the last time we stood outside with signs asking people what we could pray over them about! 

These are the cuties I get to do children's ministry with! I am so grateful for them, they keep me on my toes and you can tell just how sweet they are. We just got done learning about the Creation story and Noah and the flood.

Keep Focus Growing 

We have a big fundraiser coming up on November 29th called “Keep FOCUS Growing.”
Some of our donors teamed up and agreed to match up to a total $57,000, so I’m just reaching out to all of my ministry partners to let them know about the opportunity. This campaign funds things like on-campus outreach materials/events, administrative support, staff development, and planting new campuses. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks so much for your support!
