#10 Manic Monday A Bright Idea!

You can change the world, one Monday at a time!

CHANGE YOUR LIGHTBULBS!

*75% LESS ENERGY IS USED WITH AN ENERGY STAR COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHTBULB.

*CFLs LAST UP TO 10X LONGER AND SAVE OVER $30 OVER THE LIFE OF EACH BULB.

*THEY PRODUCE LESS HEAT.

*REPLACING ONE BULB PREVENTS THE RELEASE OF 300 POUNDS OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN JUST 1 YEAR!

*SWITCHING ONE BULB IN EVERY HOUSEHOLD WOULD REDUCE CARBON DIOXIDE BY 90 MILLION POUNDS A YEAR!

*IF EVERY HOME REPLACES 5 FREQUENTLY USED LIGHT BULBS WITH CFLs, CLOSE TO $8 BILLION A YEAR IN ENERGY COSTS COULD BE SAVED!

Praise

Hebrews 13:15

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

#9 Manic Monday Protect Yourself!

Protect Yourself with Internet Safety!

-61.8% of all households have a computer, almost all have internet

-9% of identity theft information is obtained online

-1 million internet users believe they have received a phishing e-mail.  (This is the act of sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an effort to steal the user’s personal info.)

-5,479 adults each day experience internet identity fraud

TAKE ACTION!

-create passwords with upper and lower case letters, numbers, or symbols, to make it hard to guess.

-never use automatic login features that save your login info.

-always log off the computer when finished.

-do not store private info on your computer.

-do not open email from strangers!  Spam it instead!!

Having A Terrible, Horrible, Bad Day?

PERFECT!  Bring your misery to a special EXTREME gathering!  An EXTREMELY SNEAKY PEAK of GECA’s newest performance!

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!

Meet at GECA no later than 6:45 pm! (Doors will lock at 6:46!)

(Behind the Economy Shop)

Wednesday, February 8

Minimum donation of $3.00 per person required

*EXTREMERS: have your parents drop you off, no later than 6:45pm.  Did you write that down?  Did you place that on your Google calendar?  The doors lock at 6:46!  Parents may pick you up at 8:30-ish.

*Due to the rare privilege of EXTREME Peaks, only EXTREMERS (and yes Igniters) may see the show!  No parents allowed!  Sorry, they will have to pay for a full price ticket and wait until the week end performance.

*EXTREME is asking for a “required” minimum donation of at least $3.00 per person to cover the expense of the electricity, seat cleaning, floor sweeping,  etc.  Please have your money ready to pay Miss Samantha on that night or before.

*Please make sure that you have a ride to and fro at the appropriate times.

*Did I mention that this is a rare privilege?  This would be a great time to proudly display your EXTREME attire and your EXTREME behavior.  (Appropriate dress required!)  Don’t forget, we will be representing the Kingdom and Grace Fellowship Church’s EXTREME!

*Bring some extra cash for the Fundraising-Concession Stand, $1.00 drinks and snacks

#7

       The Bible sometimes uses different numbers for different stories and miracles. So, I have seven stories that include the number

seven in it. As an example, during the flood God told Noah to take seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and its mate. So, that would

count as one story. Reply and let me know what you come up with and I will let you know if that is one of the stories I was

 thinking of.

        Have fun, guys!!!!

       Answers: #1   During the flood Noah took 7 pairs of animals and birds #2  The Israelites marched around Jericho 7 times #3 

       Jacob worked seven years to marry Rachel #4  Samson’s hair was braided into 7 locks #5  Naaman dipped 7 times into the

       Jordan River to become healed #6  Jesus fed 4,000 with 7 loaves of bread and had 7 baskets of bread left #7  John wrote to 7

       churches in Asia Minor.

Share

Hebrews 13:16

Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

BON FIRE!

“Thank You!” to the Aliffs for hosting our EXTREME Bon Fire!  We appreciate you!.

EXTREME BONFIRE

#8 Manic Monday! Help the Hungry

The 2nd largest expense for a family is food.

30% of families are forced to choose between food and paying medical expenses.

Soup kitchens serve around 1,000 meals per week.

96 Billion pounds of food are wasted in the U.S. every year.

You can make a difference.  Donate canned foods to the Atmore Food Bank, buy a restaurant gift card and give it out to someone who needs it, or purchase extra food on sale for a Grace family that could use a blessing.

 

YOU MATTER!  One Monday at a time!

Wednesday!

Join us Wednesday for “The Story”

Chapter 1

*As a general rule of thumb, EXTREME will only meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays.  See you then!

Favorite Bible Verse

Please tell me your favorite Bible verse ( or verses ).

A few of my favorites are as follows: Luke 1:37, John 5:24, Psalm 148, John 3:16, Proverbs 3:5-6, Hebrews 12:1-2, and 2 Corinthians 5:13 just to name some.  I especially like 2 Corinthians which says, ” If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind it is for you.” Enjoy!

 

 

Great job, Mr. Arri!   R&S
