Tomorrow Only! A Snuggie Contest @ Courageous Church!

#1: Yep.  I’m serious.  We have a SPECIAL PRIZE for any person that wears a SNUGGIE to either our 9am or 11am service this Sunday!  It’s cold out and so many of you joked last Sunday that you wish you wore yours so now I’m giving pastoral permission and a prize :-) Think about it, the design is perfect for you to lift your hands and praise the Lord. Reply now if you think you might be bold enough to wear your Snuggie so I have an idea of how many prizes to bring!

For all of you that are not fortunate enough to have a Snuggie, we purchased three additional space heaters this week to make sure we stay toasty.

#2: Tomorrow (Sunday) we will begin our Next Steps class again for 2010.  We have a new conference room available directly across from the auditorium and it will be offered immediately after the 9am service is over. Grab your breakfast and come on to this casual reception to learn what the NEXT STEPS are for you as you commit yourself to God through Courageous Church.  If you are interested in becoming a member of Courageous Church, this reception is required.

#3: Our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY service is being hosted @ Morehouse College on Sunday, January 17th @ 11am!  During this service we will be celebrating what God has done in our first year, looking forward to year two, and helping the college celebrate MLK Day!  I find it to be very powerful that our church was invited by the college to host our service on King Day!

We’ll have several awesome guests and cannot wait to SEE YOU THERE!  More details coming from us soon!

#4: So many of you have asked how you join or become a member of Courageous Church.  Wanting to make sure that we take membership seriously, we have waited until now to introduce Courageous U - an engaging, surprising, interactive 4 step process to becoming a member of our church.  It’s coming this February and will only be offered 3 times a year!  Are you ready?

#5: SMALL GROUPS are coming!!! Starting the last week of February we will be launching our very first small groups for kids, men, women, and married couples! We will also be offering Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University twice every Sunday!  Are you excited??? I am!

We hope you’ll continue doing a great job spreading the word about all that God is doing through our young church!

Be Courageous…wear a Snuggie :-)

I am already committed to being at another church but you know (especially by my profile pic 10 days ago) that I would totally wear my rockin' blue Snuggie to church.

I challenge the Courageous family to then donate those Snuggies after church to ATL homeless folks who could use an extra layer during this next week of bitter cold!

Then again, u are in downtown Atlanta. Perhaps this one is the choice http://loyalkng.com/2009/02/23/gangsta-snuggie-sn...

I have GOT to come down and visit your church, Shaun. I'm heavily involved at 12Stone, but your church is quite clearly THE coolest of the cool! (…. or should I say "the warmest of the warm"?)

You rock!
Enjoy SnuggieFest tomorrow – I'm sure it will be a blast! :)

Peace.

That could look quite cultish… 100s of people in Snuggies raising their hands in worship together? Take a pic for the rest of us.

Lurker here :)

I read a story a couple weeks ago about a boy with cancer who collected Snuggies for patients to wear during chemotherapy treatment. A lot of the kiddies have problems retaining body heat, and it really helped them a lot.

I'm sure they all looked like a clan of Jedi Knights.

Anyhoo, collecting and donating Snuggies sounds like a cool service project, as someone above mentioned (donating them to the homeless).
